You may also be interested in WordPress tips and tricks at WordPress Informer or gerneral Web Developer News == Installation == 1. Verify that you have PHP5, which is required for this plugin. 1. Upload the whole `twitter-widget-pro` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = Can I use more than one instance of this widget? = Yes, Twitter Widget Pro employs the multi-widget pattern, which allows you to not only have more than one instance of this widget on your site, but even allows more than one instance of this widget in a single sidebar. = Can I follow more than one feed? = Absolutely, each instance of the widget can have different settings and track different feeds. = Why can't I display a friends feed anymore? = Aparently the database queries required to display the friends feed was causing twitter to crash, so they removed it. Unfortunately, this is outside my control. == Screenshots == 1. To user the widget, go to Appearance -> Widgets and choose to "Add" the "Twitter Feed" widget. 2. Each widget has settings that need to be set, so the next step is to click "edit" on the newly added widget and adjust all the settings. When you're done click "Save Changes" 3. This is what the widget looks like in the default theme with no added styles. 4. By using some (X)HTML in the title element and adding a few styles and a background image, you could make it look like this. == Changelog == = 1.4.5 = * Switched to using date_i18n so dates are localized = 1.4.4 = * Added Danish translation - Props Georg * Add ability to give more information on WHY you should upgrade on the plugins page * Fixed PHP notice when you add a new copy of widget to your sidebar = 1.4.3 = * Added the text domain to some translatable strings that were missing it * Added the Spanish translation thanks to Rafael Poveda !!
