JUNK. It doesn’t work. Can’t save after adding as a widget. If I have to spend more than 10 minutes setting up the basics for a Widget, it gets canned.
This work great for a sidebar widget.

I use this to add recent tweets (with images) in the sidebar. It works well.
not good plugin from twitter
by zuola·8 years ago
there are two type of twitter card: summary_large_image and summary
<meta name=”twitter:card” content=”summary_large_image” />
if you need change to large image, you need add below code to twitter.php manually, not in the admin panel:
function twitter_card_type( $card_type, $query_type, $object_id )
{
return 'summary_large_image';
}
add_filter('twitter_card_type', 'twitter_card_type', 10, 3);more information from: https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Cards
I am going to vote 1 star, not good plugin, really wast time.
