WordPress Tweeter is a plugin that will update your twitter account every time you make a new post on your blog. You will be able to use your own tweet template. This plugin is released under GPL. Credit is highly appreciated. When linking to this plugin, please link to this post instead of the download link. PLEASE REPORT ALL BUGS!

Usage

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

Template Tags

  • %blogtitle% – blog title
  • %posttitle% – title of post
  • %url% – URL of blog homepage
  • %posturl% – URL of blog post

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

If there is a feature that you would like to have implemented, please leave it in a comment. View Changelog

      That was most likely a temporary error with our server. It’s been working for a while now.

    It just made one hickup one one entry and I (of course) didn’t got note of the text on the error, but now it has just posted perfectly?? If it comes again, I’ll make sure to make a note.

      As long as you have a wordpress.org blog, you can simply upload the zip under Plugins -> Add New, and that should install WPTweeter :)
