We'll create fresh WordPress site with Mathilda installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
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.
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.
Following tweet types are supported.
Following tweet objects are supported.
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.
All mathilda UI elements can be addressed with individual CSS selectors. Please use your debugger to find the right classes.
Mathilda creates 4 folders within wp-content/uploads.
