Description

The simplest way to add a twitter feed to your WordPress site.

Express Twitter Feed is free, easy and reliable, featuring integrated Twitter authorization and easy-to-use shortcodes that make setup a breeze. And with its minimal styling, customizable colours and layout options, it can be tailored to suit any style or design

Features:

  • Use shortcodes to display the feed on any page or post.
  • List either a single user’s tweets, or a hashtag search.
  • Quick and easy – one of the shortest setups of any Twitter feed plugin.
  • Authorize with Twitter through our integrated login, or by manually supplying API tokens.
  • Customizable tweet layout – show or hide any part of your displayed tweets.
  • Integrated tweet action buttons.
  • Minimally styled – by default the feed will inherit styles from your site’s theme with no extra work.
  • Built with customization in mind – semantic HTML and BEM-syntax classes make it effortless to restyle the feed with CSS.
