“_**Amazing Support and a Great Twitter Plugin** – I am using the free version of
this Twitter plugin and identified a real problem in the display on my website.
I emailed support and Craig was all over the fix for me. Seven or so emails later(
even on a Sunday) the problem was fixed and Craig was still reaching out to make
sure all was well._“
_In a world of crappy support for premium plugins, and even worse support for free
plugins, this kind of support (and listening to customers) that Craig and Smash
Balloon provided me make their premium products worth every penny. In fact, I am
going to buy them for my next project. They deserve it._“

feed plugins across a bunch of our sites, and this one is now our go-to favorite.
Most of the others we’ve tried have either styling or performance issues, but we’ve
been using this plugin for a few months now, and it’s been perfect. There are tons
of customization options, the feed looks great, and… it works!_“

please refer to our [setup guide](https://smashballoon.com/doc/setting-up-the-free-custom-twitter-feeds-wordpress-plugin/?twitter?utm_source=twitter-free&utm_medium=readmefile&utm_campaign=readme-setup&utm_content=SetupGuide).
#### Setting up the Free Custom Twitter Feeds WordPress Plugin
If you have an issue or question while setting up or using the plugin then please
submit a support ticket and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
1) Once you’ve installed the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin, click on the “Twitter
Feeds” item in your WordPress menu
2) Click on the “Add New” button. Next, select the “user timeline” feed type then
click “Next”

## FAQ
### Can I display multiple Twitter feeds on my site or on the same page?
Yes, you can display multiple Twitter feeds by using our built-in shortcode options.
For example: `[custom-twitter-feeds screenname="smashballoon" num=3]`. You can add
it to any post, page, or widget to easily display your Twitter feed in a beautiful
Twitter widget.
### How do I embed the Twitter Feed directly into a WordPress page template?
You can embed your Twitter feed directly into a template file by using the WordPress
[do_shortcode](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode) function:`
`.
### Is the content of my Twitter feed crawlable by search engines and how does it help improve my SEO?
Unlike other Twitter plugins which use iFrames to embed your Twitter feed into your
page in a widget, the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin uses server-side code to embed
your Twitter feed widget content directly into your page. This adds dynamic, search
engine crawlable content to your site.
### Will Custom Twitter Feeds work with W3 Total Cache or other caching plugins?
The Custom Twitter Feeds plugin should work in compatibility with most, if not all,
caching plugins, but you may need to tweak the settings in order to allow the Twitter
feed to update successfully and display your latest Twitter posts. If you are experiencing
problems with your Twitter feed widget not updating then try disabling either ‘Page
Caching’ or ‘Object Caching’ in W3 Total Cache (or any other similar caching plugin)
to see whether that fixes the problem and the Twitter feed displays and updates
successfully.
### The font in my Twitter feed isn’t inherited from my website
By default, your Twitter feed should automatically inherit the font from your website.
If this isn’t the case, then it’s possible that something in the theme is preventing
this from happening. An issue that we’ve run into before is that tags are
added into the Twitter feed widget HTML by either the theme, another plugin, or
perhaps even the custom-twitter-feeds shortcode being wrapped in code tags in your
page editor.
To fix this:
1) First – go to your page editor, click on the ‘Text’ tab in the top right of the
editor box, and check whether the [custom-twitter-feeds] shortcode is being wrapped
in tags, like so: [custom-twitter-feeds]. If it is, then remove
them.
2) If this doesn’t solve the problem then try adding the following to the plugin’s“
Custom CSS” section (Twitter Feeds > Customize > Custom CSS):
```
#ctf code { font-family: sans-serif; }
```
You can replace the font-family with whatever font your theme is using.
### Can I display multiple Twitter feeds?
Twitter recently announced a Twitter API that offers a limited number of API requests
for a $100 monthly fee. Right now, we’re working on integrating our plugin with
this new API which would allow for more features.
If you’d like to display tweets from only one source, we’ve got your back. As a
free user of Custom Twitter Feeds, you can showcase your tweets from 1 user timeline
feed at NO cost to you.
Want to embed multiple Twitter feeds from different user timelines? This is a feature
of the [Pro version](https://smashballoon.com/custom-twitter-feeds/?utm_source=twitter-free&utm_medium=readmefile&utm_campaign=twitter-liteupgrade&utm_content=MultipleTwitterFeeds)
of the plugin, which allows you to show tweets from multiple user timelines, moderate
and filter your feeds, and more!
### Differences between the free version and Pro version of the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin
The main differences between the free version and Pro version of the Custom Twitter
Feeds plugin are listed below. The extra features available in the Pro version are
as follows:
* Display photos, videos, and gifs in your Tweets, with support for 3rd party services
such as YouTube, Vimeo, Vine, and SoundCloud
* Show tweets from multiple users in the same Twitter feed
* View Twitter media in a pop-up lightbox directly on your site
* Display Tweets in a multi-column Masonry layout
* Display your Twitter feed in rotating Carousels / Slideshows
* Ready-made Twitter feed templates so you don’t have to build your feeds from
scratch
* Twitter Cards (rich, standout links) are displayed in Tweets for links that support
them
* Combine Twitter feeds of multiple user timelines
* Update Twitter feeds and sources up to 12x per day
* Filter feeds by keywords, or add/remove specific tweets manually
* Tweet-specific **moderation system**
* Autoload more tweets when scrolling to the bottom of the Twitter feed
* Include Tweet replies (“in reply to”)

### I’m receiving an error message when trying to display my Twitter feed
If you receive an error message when trying to display your Twitter Feed widget
then you can use the error reference below to diagnose the issue and find the relevant
solution.
**Twitter Error:**
Unauthorized
**Causes:**
– You may not have connected your site to Smash Balloon or the connection
is not valid – See #1 below
**Twitter Error:**
Unable to load tweets (with no other explanation)
**Causes:**
– You may need to raise the number of tweets to retrieve and display
in your Twitter feed widget – See #3 below
**Twitter Error:**
Sorry, that Twitter page does not exist
**Causes:**
– There may be a typo in the Twitter screen name you are attempting
to use
**Twitter Error:**
Over capacity
**Causes:**
– Twitter’s servers are over capacity so the API is unusable. This
will correct itself after some time.
**Twitter Error:**
Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds
**Causes:**
– Most likely this is due to your server blocking access to the Twitter
API – See #4 below
**Solutions**
**#1 – Your Smash Balloon connection might not be valid**
You can reset or recollect your site access token by going to the Settings page
for the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin and clicking the “Refresh” button to start the
process of retrieving a new site key.
**#2 – You have checked the box to use your own Twitter app information but one
or more of the fields are incorrect**
Note: Connecting you own Twitter App is not yet available but will be soon. All
four fields, Twitter consumer token, Twitter consumer secret, Twitter access token,
and Twitter access token secret, need to come from the Twitter app that you set
up on Twitter.com. Try returning to your personal Twitter app management page https://
apps.twitter.com/ and confirming that all four fields, Twitter consumer token, Twitter
consumer secret, Twitter access token, and Twitter access token secret are entered
correctly in the corresponding fields on the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin’s “Configure”
tab.
**#3 – You may need to raise the number of tweets to retrieve**
Navigate to the type of Twitter feed you are trying to display on twitter.com. For
example, if you are displaying a Twitter feed from the screenname “smashballoon”,
go to https://twitter.com/smashballoon. Make sure there are tweets visible. Then
click on the link “Tweets & replies”. If there are a more recent replies than original
tweets, there may be too many tweets being filtered out to display any. Twitter
replies are removed by default. You can raise the number of tweets to retrieve initially
by going to the Custom Twitter Feed Settings page, “Customize” tab, and navigating
to the “Advanced” area. Then raise the “Tweet Multiplier” and test to see if your
Twitter feed now displays tweets.
If you’re still having trouble displaying your Tweets after trying the common issues
above, then please [contact support](https://smashballoon.com/custom-twitter-feeds/support/?utm_source=twitter-free&utm_medium=readmefile&utm_campaign=common-issues&utm_content=support)
for assistance.

I’ve had my issues with SmashBalloon support in the past but my experience with
the latest hiccup in transferring a license went very smoothly. Their Twitter Feed
plugin does a nice job.

[Kay69](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kay69/) 9, Setiembre de 2025
good plugin
### [Decent Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/decent-work-2/)
[jmason84](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jmason84/) 15, Agostu de 2025 1 reply
Ironically I started creating a plugin just like this, and then came across a site
that had the setup I wanted. After looking at the source code – I found SmashingBalloons.
Thus far I’m pleased with the plugin, its solid work that I can tell thus far, and
good structure for future expansion and debugging. I know the amount of time that
goes into a good plugin – and well worth the money here. P.S. Nothing personal,
but I don’t give 5 stars unless I think its a market disruptor, its got to be solid
work and something absolutely brilliant for me to do that. But still 4 stars all
the way.
### [I dont want this plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-dont-want-this-plugin/)
[Josh S](https://profiles.wordpress.org/spasso888/) 30, Abril de 2025
I don’t want this plugin, like at all, however it some how appeared after I used
the developers other plugins. It self installs and replicates.
### [Used to work brilliantly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/used-to-work-brilliantly/)
[Mike250](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mike250/) 20, Marzu de 2025 1 reply
Feed hasn’t updated for a couple months. When I attempt to refresh cache, or reconnect,
I get a message that my daily limit has reached and will refresh next week. Next
week never comes, rinse and repeat. 2 star because I know how good it can be.

* Tweak: Several CSS changes to make the Twitter feed text responsive with more
themes.
* Fix: Removed debugging code causing issue when saving settings on the “Customize”
tab.
#### 1.5.1
* New: To help us improve the plugin we have added usage tracking so that we can
understand what features and settings are being used, and which features matter
to you the most. The plugin will send a report in the background once per week
with your plugin settings and basic information about your website environment.
No personal or sensitive data is collected (such as email addresses, Twitter
account information, license keys, etc). You can opt-out by simply disabling
the setting at: Twitter Feed > Customize > Misc > Enable Usage Tracking. See
[here](https://smashballoon.com/custom-twitter-feeds/docs/usage-tracking/) for
more information.
* Tweak: When a feed is from a Twitter account that has a lot of reply tweets,
the plugin will collect more tweets initially for better performance.
* Tweak: Hashtag feeds have retweets filtered out by default for improved feed
performance.
* Fix: Several strings updated to be translatable.
#### 1.5
* New: Added a “Twitter Feeds” Gutenberg block to use in the block editor, allowing
you to easily add a Twitter feed to posts and pages.
* Tweak: Added function ctf_init() to easily rerun JavaScript for the plugin.
* Tweak: Non Twitter Feeds admin notices are removed when viewing settings pages
for Custom Twitter Feeds.
#### 1.4.1
* Tweak: Added aria-label attributes to SVG icons for improved accessibility.
* Fix: Fixed PHP warning that occurred when a URL in the tweet text did not have
a full length URL available from the Twitter API.
* Fix: Using the setting to link the tweet text to Twitter would cause nested links
and invalid HTML.
* Fix: Fixed Twitter logo not displaying if avatar, author, and date were hidden.
#### 1.4
* New: Twitter logo added to the top right of each tweet to fit with Twitter’s
display guidelines. Customize the logo on the “Style” tab, “Author” area or hide
it using the settings at Twitter Feeds > Customize > Show/Hide.
* New: Minified versions of JavaScript and CSS files now used.
* New: JavaScript file added to the source of the page only when the Custom Twitter
Feeds shortcode is used on the page.
* New: SVGs used for icons instead of Font Awesome font file. You can switch back
to using the Font Awesome font file using the setting at Twitter Feeds > Customize
> Advanced.
* New: Tweets that are replies to the same Twitter account or mention the same
account can be included in the Twitter feed widget by enabling the setting “Always
include replies to self in the feed”.
* New: Added a setting to completely disable Twitter intents widget.js file.
* Tweak: The HTML element used for icons has been switched from “i” to “span” for
better accessibility.
* Tweak: Changed styling of Twitter media placeholder icons.
* Tweak: Combined widgets.js file with native JavaScript file for the plugin.
* Tweak: Twitter widgets.js will only be enqueued when “actions” are included in
the Twitter feed.
* Tweak: Tweet text line height style set to 1.4.
* Fix: Bio text not displaying in header even when enabled.
#### 1.3
* New: You can now choose to only display a certain amount of text characters in
the Tweets in your Twitter widget, with a clickable link to display the rest.
This is set to be 280 characters by default, but can be changed by using the
following setting: Twitter Feeds > Customize > Style > Tweet Text > Text Length,
or by using the “textlength” shortcode setting.
* Tweak: Twitter intents JavaScript not loaded on the page if tweet actions are
removed
* Fix: Removed target=”_blank” from div element
