PHP: 7.2.21
Wordpress: 5.3.2

As of Wordpress 4.5 the get_the_excerpt filter expects two arguments to be passed: $post_excerpt and $post.

This line in the Twitter Wordpress plugin produces a fatal error when an add_filter call to the get_the_excerpt hook expects the two arguments. Passing the expected, second param $post in Generator.php resolves the error.

$description = apply_filters( 'get_the_excerpt', $post->post_excerpt, $post );

It has been possible to create a Twitter follow button when text containing a Twitter profile URL is passed through an embed handler. The follow button URL-based embed handler should be removed to allow an embedded profile timeline to reliably be included in its place.

In June 2016 Twitter added oEmbed support for profile timeline URLs and added oEmbed discovery to the profile URL's returned HTML. Profile URLs are supported oEmbed providers as of WordPress 4.7.

For example, in registerShortcodeHandlers(), you use the method "init" on multiple class. Why don't use interface and make a loop while on this interface ?

Twitter announced the deprecation of photo, product, and gallery Twitter Card template types effective July 3, 2015. The Twitter plugin for WordPress should remove mappings to these template types and prevent an attempt to map to a deprecated type. Mapping to an active card template instead of an old template with a compatibility layer helps ensure a site's content will continue to be displayed as intended.

A Twitter Card template is specified in the twitter:card meta element. The selection of a specific card type affects the supported properties to be extracted from WordPress and placed into other meta elements.

The deprecation of the product card template will result in label-data pairs specified in meta elements having no effect on the rendered card.

The deprecation of the gallery card template removes the need to retrieve and specify multiple images for a post. All card templates now support a maximum of one image.

The previously supported photo card template properties map onto the summary_large_image card template, adding the possibility of an additional description property.

Add a visual indication of purposeful non-execution of the plugin for WordPress administrators who have installed and activated the plugin on a server which does not meet the plugin's minimum PHP requirements.

The issue

The plugin requires PHP 5.4. The plugin loader currently stops loading plugin files and triggers an E_USER_NOTICE with a compatibility notice if the plugin executes in with a PHP version before 5.4.

The plugin short description and long description both note the PHP 5.4 requirement. WordPress supports PHP 5.2.4 or greater. Plugins are able to specify a range of WordPress releases of known compatibility: a minimum supported version specified by Requires at least up to the maximum known compatibility of Tested up to. Plugins are not able to list other compatibility requirements programmatically.

It is possible some WordPress sites may install and activate the plugin without meeting the plugin's minimum requirements. The described functionality of the plugin will not function: no settings menu, no shortcode handlers, etc. The person installing the plugin may blame the plugin without understanding the minimum requirements needed for plugin execution.

Available messaging areas

Admin notice

The plugin may display a notice to a WordPress user with manage_plugins viewing the WordPress administrative interface or just the plugins listing page. WordPress Core displays an update nag with a warning-level highlight in yellow. An error-level highlight may make sense to draw attention to the likely just-executed action of plugin activation.

Plugin listing

The plugin listing row could display additional information about the plugin state while the plugin is activated. A site administrator would be able to see an incompatibility warning alongside the plugin listing wherever it appears.

Additional considerations

The plugin can self deactivate if the minimum requirements are not met. The site administrator would see no new messages about incompatibility until the plugin is reactivated.

A message or possible notice should not be output during an Ajax request at the risk of breaking the expected format of the response.

I added the widget and it's doesn't load the content. Configuration is correct as it did show up before. Nothing was changed on the page expect updating WordPress.

When setting the conversation to false I expect the previous tweet to not be displayed. However that is not what is happening. I have also attempted to set a site-wide default using the filter, but that isn't working either.

Expose site settings data to REST API including type, enum, and if it's a good candidate for public REST API.

When saving changes in the wordpress interface, I can change the values for limit, width and height. However, when I click save, only the width saves. The other two values are cleared out and have no effect.

At the moment it is inserting a twitter card summary tag, but I want to use summary large image tag.

If I use another plugin to stick the summary large image tag in then this plugin still inserts the summary tag and that takes precedence.

Because of this reason I'm unable to use the plugin.

If the plugin had a configuration option to choose the tag type to insert (summary, summary large, or perhaps "none") then this wouldn't be a problem.

Reported error thrown for large featured images. No issue when using smaller featured images.

Is this plugin still supported or has it been abandoned?

WordPress 5.4 support PR #45 has not been merged. WordPress 5.8 has been out for a while now.

Last commit Jul 25, 2019.

Is this plugin dead, abandoned or replaced with something better. Would be good to know what Twitter wants to people to use on their WordPress sites, if not the official Twitter plugin.

Hi,
the twitter card entry , is 'blocking' the gutenberg editor.
is there any chance it will get fix?

thanks

Hey there! Thanks for the awesome plugin! Any chance you could list it on packagist? Thanks!

Hi, the tweet within a tweet feature does not seem to be supported by this plugin. It just shows the url of the embedded tweet, but does not expand it to show the tweet the way it does on twitter.com or the twitter apps.

Here's what a tweet with an embedded tweet looks like when using the plugin:

Here's what it looks like on twitter.com:

Embedded tweet url: https://twitter.com/JanetKavandi/status/1003951718697193472

When embedding a tweet in a wordpress post:
https://twitter.com/Interior/status/552230355781320704
(plain text editor) is is not longer displayed as card (as before) but as text only tweet.

Examples:

1. https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki#customize-embedded-tweets
2. http://test.homeoffice.guru/index.hmtl

Plugin: Official Twitter plugin for WordPress // Plugin-Version 2.0.2
Browser: Google Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (64-Bit) on Windows 10

A widget with multiple required fields could reject an autosave during form entry.

Example: a list requires both a slug and an owning username. If the list widget is saved without a slug and username then the update attempt is rejected.

1. I would like the font of the Wordpress widget to match the rest of my site. It would be good if users could specify a CSS font import applied to the Twitter timeline iframe.

2. My Twitter timeline widget includes hypertext links in my tweets in addition to the cards. I would like to disable this, similar to how tweeted URLs are hidden on Twitter.com.

3. @ and # tags are not displayed in the Twitter widget as hypertext links, like they are on Twitter.com. In addition to being harder to read , you can't easily jump to the Twitter user or hashtag. If you include this, there should be a way for users to style these links similar to their blog.

There is no settings in widget or plugin option that allows to disable embedded media from tweets.
It would be helpful in displaying a clean list of tweet.

Thoughts?
