Usage
To setup WordPress Tweeter, go to Settings -> WP Tweeter. From there, you can configure the options for your Twitter account.

Parameters
Parameters are useful when tracking where an user comes from. If the parameter is source=twitter, the url will link to http://www.fusionswift.com/?source=twitter. There are couple of tags that can be used inside the Parameter field.
- %blogtitle% – title of the blog, provided as “title-of-the-blog”
- %posttitle% – title of the post, provided as “title-of-the-post”
- %date% – provided as yyyymmdd
- %time% – provided as hhiiss
Tweet When Post Updated
There is an option to tweet when a post is updated. If this is enabled, it is recommended to use either %time% or %date% in the update tweet template, since it may result in a duplicate tweet.
New Tweet
The new tweet feature, which can be found at Tools -> New Tweet, allows you to tweet from right inside WordPress.
Planned features
- Tweet to multiple twitter accounts
- Include category in tweet

Thanks for the great plugin!
Not work for me in WordPress 3.1. Not show config page. :-(
I sometimes get the following error when accessing the wordpress dashboard:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tweeter/wptweeter.php on line 82.
I assume it is because the plugin is busy at the same time I am trying to access the dashboard. Is there a way to correct this issue?
Make sure you are using the latest version of WordPress Tweeter. If you are still having this problem using version 0.8 (as of writing), let me know.
I had to uninstall. I help someone with their blog. I needed to test that it tweeted and used my account. i then tried to change the Twitter account and I didn’t want to send the “i just used ……” tweet on his account. I would rather have a footer than have to tweet something to use it.
Before clicking “Next” and after authorizing the account, users have the option to not tweet.
Changing template in post leads to
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in sitepath/www/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tweeter/wptweeter.php on line 101
You website is unable to connect to the tweeting server, so the connection failure is triggering that message. If you let me know what host you’re hosted on, I can look into it.
Hello, is it possible to choose different hashtags instead of using the tags of each articles ?
It’s always possible to hard code in the hashtags into the tweet template, if that’s what you’re asking.
Every time I create a new post, there are 2 tweets created. How to solve this?
That shouldn’t be happening, and doesn’t seem to be happening for the majority of people. If you can get in touch with me, perhaps we can figure this out if it’s still relevant.
I instaled it in wordpress plugins but, I clicked “acticate”, signed in to my tweeter acount..all that, but it won’t show in appearance>widgets.
I want to put it on my sidebar.
Any sugestions? Thank you
WordPress tweeter isn’t for displaying tweets in the sidebar. It’s for tweeting links to new posts.
WP Twitter Stop sending tweets.
