Twitter

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I agree with others. I checked the Wiki and I am still baffled on how to include a simple timeline. You would think it’d be just as easy as embedding their code.

   JUNK. It doesn’t work. Can’t save after adding as a widget. If I have to spend more than 10 minutes setting up the basics for a Widget, it gets canned.

   I use this to add recent tweets (with images) in the sidebar. It works well.

   there are two type of twitter card: summary_large_image and summary <meta name=”twitter:card” content=”summary_large_image” /> if you need change to large image, you need add below code to twitter.php manually, not in the admin panel: function twitter_card_type( $card_type, $query_type, $object_id ) { return 'summary_large_image'; } add_filter('twitter_card_type', 'twitter_card_type', 10, 3); more information from: https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Cards I am going to vote 1 star, not good plugin, really wast time.

   This official plugin from twitter only allows you to add 3 meta tags to your WP post: twitter:site (your twitter username) twitter:title (title of WP post) twitter:description (first 140-280 chars of the WP post) The plugin does not generate twitter:image. So when the URL for your WP post is tweeted, I assume an image is not included in the tweet. I did not actually test this on my production website, but I could see there was no twitter:image element in the WP rendering of the localhost post.

   Similar to the standard native Twitter embeds, but with more options. Can be used in a widget in several ways, including twitter list, twitter profile and twitter follow button. There’s also a separate option to add it to every post. No token needed, unlike some other WordPress Twitter plugins, so you can use any twitter feed(s). My only complaint is that I had difficulty customising the link colours.
