Description

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)

Future of this Plugin

As Twitter has decided to discontinue free access to the Twitter API, I have stopped using Twitter. This will also impact the future of this plugin. In the medium term the api request function to copy tweets will be removed from the plugin. Displaying of already received tweet data and the import of DSGVO Data Export will be further supported and maintained. The plugin features will be reduced to minimum. At the present time, the plugin is still be able to execute API Calls as the plugin is using the Twitter API Standard v1.1, which still is usable without payment. But that can change at any time.

Configuration

  1. Register your Mathilda-Instance as Twitter-Application for API Access apps.twitter.com
  2. Activate the plugin in WordPress
  3. Maintain OAUTH Access Token, OAUTH Access Token Secret, Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and your Twitter Account in the settings
  4. Run the initial load (Tools/Tweets)
  5. Create a WordPress page (page slug must match mathilda slug)
