Geoffrey -

The simplest way to use this would be to just add it to the existing page template (php file) that you want it to appear on. For example, if you want it on your single posts, you could add it to single.php.

Hope that helps.

Hi Matt,

I am really trying to get this to work but my knowledge of wordpress and code is little html and font end stuff. Do i have to create a new php file and drop it into to my wordpres files in my filezilla to do all this or can i put it straight in to the page which at the moment isn’t working.

Thank you

the function html_entity_decode() basically just does the opposite of htmlentities(). It takes HTML entities and changes them to their applicable characters. Basically, special characters in your tweet will be displayed as their HTML entity unless you decode it, and that will not look like the original tweet.

I hope this explains it a little better for you.

Will you please elaborate on why it’s better to decode the html? Thanks!

I don’t like embedding strange javascript on my site, it makes it insecure. I’d rather have straight html, like this widget.

hi matt,
thanks, awesome code! worked perfectly,
one question though – how do i make it post morethan 1 tweet? right now, it was only showing 1 tweet. i thought by editing this part “&rpp=1″; will fix the problem (change the number 1 ) but it didn’t. hope you can help me. thanks in advance
