Rotating Tweets (Twitter widget and shortcode)



Twitter widget and shortcode to show your latest tweets one at a time an animated rotation

Replaces a shortcode such as [rotatingtweets screen_name='your_twitter'], or a widget, with a rotating display of your most recent tweets

Supports v 1.1 of the Twitter API – yes! it will keep working after June 11, 2013

Space efficient – instead of showing all your tweets at once, shows one at a time and then smoothly replaces it with the next one. After showing all your tweets, loops back to the beginning again.

Reliable – keeps showing your latest Tweets even if the Twitter website is down.
Customisable – you decide whose tweets to show, how many to show, whether to include retweets and replies, and whether to show a follow button. You can also decide how quickly the tweets rotate and what type of animation to use.

Responsive – resizes as your page resizes

Gives you the option to show a fully customisable Twitter ‘follow’ button

Replaces t.co links with the original link

Caches the most recent data from Twitter to avoid problems with rate limiting

Uses jQuery and jQuery.Cycle to produce a nice smooth result.

Multi-lingual – now set up to be multi-lingual. The Twitter ‘follow’ button is automatically translated to match your site’s language setting if Twitter has made the appropriate language available.

Also uses WordPress’s multi-lingual capability to enable translation of all the other text used by the plug-in via language packs.
