AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Good Old Twitter Feed Widget is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Social category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Good Old Twitter Feed Widget works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin displays the latest posts from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget.
Easy customization of style, replies, retweets, links, dates, thumbnails and a lot more.
The plugin is based on Twitter API version 1.1.
In order to use it, you have to create a personal Twitter Application on the dev.twitter.com website.
Within your Application, Twitter provides two strings: the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret.
You also need two other strings, the Access Token and the Access Token Secret, that you can get
following this guide.
Finally, enter all the Authorization string in the widget options box, along with your favorite display settings: your Twitter Widget is now ready and active!
You can use the same Authorization strings for several widgets and multiple website.
Just remember to store them in a safe place!
You also need CURL and OPENSSL extensions enabled in your PHP environment (don’t worry, almost every hosting service provides that).
Shortcode If you want to put your recent tweets other than in a widget, you can use the [good_old_twitter] shortcode.
The shortcode support is experimental.
At the moment at least the twitter username and the 4 authentication attributes are mandatory. The shortcode minimal configuration is (with all fields filled):
[good_old_twitter username=”” consumer_key=”” consumer_secret=”” access_token=”” access_token_secret=””]
You can specify other optional attributes, e.g.:
num (number of tweets to show, e.g. num=”10″)
skip_retweets (if set to true, retweets are skipped, e.g. skip_retweets=”true”)
The full list of available options is available in the plugin FAQ.
