Mathilda
Mathilda is trying to give you back some control of your tweets. The plugin copies your tweets from Twitter continuously and saves them into the WordPress database. The tweets can be displayed on the blog chronologically (but do not have to). Indeed, Twitter is also blogging, micro-blogging so to speak. Features Copy your tweets back Copy your tweeted images back Display your tweets on the blog Shows basic tweet statistics Import your complete tweet history Export your tweets as CSV file Languague: English, German (only FrontEnd) Live Demo Here! Future of this Plugin As Twitter has decided to discontinue free access to the Twitter API in February 2023, I have stopped using Twitter, which also impacts the future of this plugin. For a longer period of time, the plugin was still able to execute API calls strangly enough. The plugin is using the Twitter API Standard v1.1. In the meantime Twitter became X and also free write access to v1.1 is still possible, but X has removed the required endpoint to fetch data. As consequence the core feature of the plugin is not working anymore, which is very sad. Independent from this, displaying of already received tweet data is still possible with this plugin. This feature will be kept alive until further notice. But further development in general is discontinued. Configuration Register your Mathilda-Instance as Twitter-Application for API Access apps.twitter.com Activate the plugin in WordPress Maintain OAUTH Access Token, OAUTH Access Token Secret, Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and your Twitter Account in the settings Run the initial load (Tools/Tweets) Create a WordPress page (page slug must match mathilda slug) Further Information Supported Tweet Types Following tweet types are supported. 140 Character Tweets 280 Character Tweets Replys Quotes Supported Tweet Objects Following tweet objects are supported. Images Hashtags Links Mentions Galleries Architecture Data storage and process logic is separated from the WordPress Framework. The toots are not saved in the table wp_posts. And TootPress is not registering a custom post type for the toots as well. CSS classes All mathilda UI elements can be addressed with individual CSS selectors. Please use your debugger to find the right classes.

TimeSpan
Welcome to TimeSpan The plugin ships with default settings, but allows you to change everything from: the message shown for a post that will take less than one minute; the message shown for any post over 1 minute; and the words-per-minute used to calculate the reading time. Setup Once the plugin is activated, you have two options: you can include it in your theme files (handy for WordPress developers), or you can let us do all the heavy lifting with automagic setup. Include TimeSpan in Your Theme Files Head over to the TimeSpan menu under Settings Fill out the options on that page Place the ‘echo do_shortcode(‘[time-span]’)’ shortcode wherever you’d like the data to show up in your theme file (e.g. page-home.php). Click the blue “Save Changes” button. That’s it! Automagic Setup The Automagic Setup will automatically insert the calculated time to read at the top of each of your posts. Here’s how to do that: Head over to the TimeSpan menu under Settings Fill out the options on that page Check the box at the bottom labeled “Automatically insert the time to read at the top of Posts”. Click the blue “Save Changes” button. That’s it! Are you guys for hire? We sure are. We’re a custom design & WordPress development shop. If WordPress can do it, we can do it. Drop us a line!
