Twitter is not only a micrblog, but also conversation. By using Reply, you can chat with friends in Twitter. However, since Twitter doesn’t show up all the replies near the orignal tweets, it’s not convenient for user to check. For example, when there is a reply, we need to click ‘in reply to’ link in order to see the original message. If next message is still reply message, we have to continue to click for originals. It’s very inconvenient. I thus developed a Twitter plugin, which will group your Tweets and Replies together and display in the thread form. It’s so-called Thread Twitter.
Thread Twitter
Feature
Thread Twitter can fetch 3 kinds of message:
- Message you send to Twitter.
- The reply from follower.
- Your orginal reply, and recursion until no further replies.
And then display on Wordpress page as thread form output.
Installation and usage
1. Download
2. Upload thread-twitter folder to your plugin folder
3. Activate Thread Twitter via the plugin menu
4. Go to Setting => Thread Twitter, input your Twitter account and password. If you like this plugin and wanna share with others, you can click on ‘power by Thread Twitter’.

5. Build a WordPress page template, and add following function to the template.
<?php thread_twitter(); ?>
6. Create a page, apply the page template just created.
7. Self-define CSS, format the page output. Here is a recommend sample. You can fine-tune according to your own theme.
.twitter ul {
margin:0 12px 0 10px;
}
.twitter li {
float:left;
list-style:none;
list-style-position:outside;
border:1px solid #ccc;
width:100%;
padding-top:10px;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.twitter img {
float:left;
padding:0 10px 0 0;
margin:0 0 10px 10px;
}
