How to add a Twitter feed to WordPress #Best Education Page #Online Earning

- In this video we're gonna be bringing our Twitter feed

onto our Wordpress website,

so you can show your Tweets in real time on your site.

They look just like this.

Basically you can have them kind of fading in and out

or whatever you like really,

you can show as many as you want

or as few as you want, all sorts of things.

It's very easy to set up and got loads of options.

I'm using a free plugin to do this,

so you're not gonna need to spend any money

which is good news.

So, well let's get started.

(soft piano music)

Hello, it's Alex here from WPEagle.

As I said, in this video

we're going to be adding a Twitter feed,

your Twitter feed probably, or maybe one for a client.

You can pull in as many Tweets as you like

and there's loads of layout options, as well,

in terms of how you want to display them.

So the plugins we're gonna be using today,

the first one allows you to obviously

pull your Tweets through. It creates a widget,

which you can add to any of the sidebars

that you have in your theme.

Second plugin we're going to be using,

basically allows you to use that widget as a short code

and a short code is just, like, a little bit of text

that you can paste anywhere you like, you know,

within a page or whatever

and then the tweets will show there.

So, very flexible

and hopefully you're going to find it useful,

so let's get on the computer

and I'll show you how it works.

Okay, so I'm over at the site

that I'm going to be adding the Twitter feed to.

It's a website that I've just been working on recently.

In fact, I've been recording a video all about it,

so, look out for that. That'll be coming up soon.

When I've edited it down.

I've got about four hours of footage,

so, it might take a little while, but yeah,

it will be coming soon.

But anyway, I'm getting sidetracked.

The first thing we need to do

is install a couple of plugins

that are going to help us

with the Twitter feed.

So, to do that, let's go into the Dashboard.

Then Plugins, then Add New.

First one we're going to add is the Twitter one,

which is called TweetScroll.

Hang on, it might not have a space.

Let me just get rid of the space.

That's the one we want. Let's click Install.

Now, it comes as a widget, which is kind of handy.

So that means you can add your Twitter feed to your sidebars

wherever they may be on your theme,

maybe down the side, could be in the footer,

could be in the header.

Let's click Activate.

But also going to add another little plugin

that allows us to add widgets as short codes.

So, that basically means we can add them to a sidebar,

then drop that sidebar or widget, whatever,

into a piece of content in, like, the main page body,

if that makes sense.

So, you've got two options,

you've got the widget which you can add to your sidebar

and then we're going to use the short code plugins

so that we can add it anywhere else,

say, for example, on the homepage or something like that.

So, that second plugin is called Widget ShortCode.

I'm just going to type that in, do a search.

Oh, I need to click Add New, silly me.

Widget ShortCode.

Click Install Now.

Then click Activate.

Okay, then we're good.

So, let's set up our Twitter Widget first.

So, if I go into Appearance and Sidebars,

that's where you find all the widgets, ooh,

sorry, no. You don't find them in there.

You find them in Appearance and Widgets.

Silly me.

So, in Appearance and Widgets we've got this new area now

called Arbitrary which is what we can use

for the short codes, so basically anything we put in here

we can then dump anywhere on the site.

It'll all become clear in a second.

So let me go and find the TweetScroll widget.

Here it is.

Of course, you could just put it in your main sidebar

or wherever, but I want to drop this one on the homepage,

so a sidebar's not going to be useful.

So that's why we're using a short code.

So, once you've put the widget in, you can give it a title,

you can put your username in, which I'll do in a second,

number of tweets you want to load and all sorts of things.

So, let's go through and for,

I'll leave the title as Twitter for now.

I think I may want to remove that, but I'll see.

Let me add the username,

which is bakeitfreeform.

Number of Tweets to Load is fine.

Now, I just want to just kind of do a fade,

so, I'm just going to go to that for one.

Uh, 600's fine for now, I think.

Time stamp's fine.

So, I just want to set this to fade.

Open in your...in new window,

that's for when people click any of your Twitter links.

Show the Twitter logo, sure, why not?

Don't want to bother with the profile image.

And then you can set some caching if you want,

maybe five minutes is good.

Okay, now we need to get our consumer keys and access keys.

So, to do that we need to head over to Twitter.

I'll just open a new tab.

And in fact, we're going to apps.twitter.com.

Then we need to sign in.

So, let's sign in to Twitter.

Pretty easy to count that you're setting up the site for,

but obviously it doesn't really matter.

You can use any Twitter account.

You just need to get the api key.

Going to click login.

Don't have any apps at the moment,

I'm just going to click Create New App.

I'm going to give it a name,

which is

bakeitfreeformwebsitetweets.

Description Website Tweets.

Put the URL in.

Don't need a Callback URL.

Tick the Yes, I agree.

It says I need to add my mobile phone number

to my Twitter profile, so I'll just do that quickly.

Duh, duh, dum.

Where is the phone number bit?

Must be in here?

Ah, mobile, there we go.

So, just add my phone number.

Text you a code.

Just got it, so I'll type it in.

There we go.

So let's go back and try and create that again.

Doesn't like my URL.

I think it needs the http.

There we go, the http code, http://,

you know, the usual.

Eh, there we go.

And now we've got some keys and things, so.

Let's click on keys and access tokens.

And here's the things we need to copy and paste

into our Widget on Wordpress.

So, I'm just going to go down here

and click Create My Access Token.

And then we've got everything we need.

So the first one is Consumer Key.

So, I'm just going to copy that to my clipboard,

paste it in,

make sure there's no spaces or anything that come across.

There's the next one.

Then, towards the bottom on here

you'll find your Access Token and whatnot,

so just copy the Access Token.

And paste in that one.

So, let's click Save.

Then we're good to go.

So, then what we need is this short code here.

I'm just going to copy that

and then we're going to go back to the homepage.

I'm using X-Theme on this website,

but it doesn't really matter what theme you're using.

You're just going to need to, obviously,

paste that short code where you want it to appear.

So let me edit this page.

The (mumbles) does have a quite a nice visual editor,

but you can just paste it into the more,

the normal Wordpress Editor, or whatnot.

So, just going to, um,

down the bottom here,

I think I'm going to add a new section, I think.

And then, within that section I'm going to add a text,

so this is going to vary depending on your theme, etc.

But, basically,

I'm just looking to paste the actual code in like that.

And it's brought up more than I wanted, so, um,

I need to adjust my Settings I think.

But, yeah, that's looking good.

Click Save.

And let's have a look at the page.

Think it's forgotten those 10 Tweets Settings

that I've done, so let's go back into Widgets

and adjust those Settings.

So, um, Widgets.

Ah, yeah. I should be, that one should be one.

I thought I changed that earlier.

Let's click Save.

And refresh.

And there's our Twitter feed.

So, I hope you found it useful.

I'm obviously just going to tidy up a bit

and move the space around, move it up a bit,

but that's going to be theme-specific.

Hopefully you've got Twitter feed now, on your website

and it's looking good.
