Twitter / X Feed
Display your X (Twitter) timeline on WordPress — server-side, cached, no widget bloat.
Twitter's native embed widget loads heavy JavaScript that triggers multiple external requests, sets third-party cookies, and adds hundreds of milliseconds to your page load. It also requires your visitor's browser to connect to Twitter's CDN on every visit.
TWDH Twitter / X Feed uses the X API v2 to fetch your timeline data server-side and renders it as clean, styled tweet cards in your own theme. No Twitter widget script, no external fonts loaded from Twitter's CDN, no t.co redirects in your DOM.
The free version displays your recent timeline posts in a clean card grid. Pro adds hashtag search feeds, your Mentions feed, like and retweet count display List feeds, and multi-account support for agencies.

Up and running in minutes
Three simple steps to get real results — no experience needed.
Add your X API credentials
Enter your X API Bearer Token in the plugin settings. The setup guide walks you through generating one from the X Developer Portal — a free Basic access tier is sufficient for timeline display.
Add the shortcode anywhere
Drop [twdh_twitter_feed] on any page or post. Configure tweet count, column layout, and which feed type to display in the shortcode attributes.
Feed updates automatically
The plugin caches your timeline with WP Cron and refreshes it on a configurable schedule. New tweets appear on your site automatically.
Built for professionals
No bloat. No surprises. Just the features that matter.
No Twitter scripts on page load
The plugin fetches tweet data server-side via the X API. No twitter.com scripts, no widget.js, no third-party cookies on your visitors' browsers.
Official X API v2
Uses X's official API v2 with Bearer Token authentication. Stable, rate-limit aware, and within X's terms for timeline display.
Server-side caching
Tweet data is stored in your WordPress database. Fast loads on every visit — even if X's API is having issues.
Everything it can do
A complete breakdown of every capability — free and Pro.
Official X API v2
The plugin uses X's official API v2 with Bearer Token authentication — stable, rate-limit aware, and within X's terms for timeline display. No scraping, no unofficial endpoints, no Twitter widget.js loaded.
Server-Side Cached — No Twitter Scripts
Tweet data is fetched server-side and stored in your WordPress database. No twitter.com scripts, no widget.js, no t.co redirect URLs in your DOM. Your page load is clean and your visitors' browsers don't connect to Twitter's CDN.
Clean Tweet Cards in Your Own Theme
Tweets render as clean, styled cards using your theme's typography. Avatar, handle, tweet text, timestamp, and engagement indicators all display in a layout that feels native to your site — not an embedded Twitter widget.
Hashtag Search Feed (Pro)
Pro adds a hashtag search feed so you can display recent public tweets containing any hashtag. Surface community conversations, event coverage, or branded campaign content directly on your landing pages.
Mentions Feed (Pro)
Pro unlocks your account's Mentions feed — display recent replies and mentions from other X users. Great for community-focused brands who want to surface conversations and engagement on their website.
Twitter List Feed (Pro)
Pro lets you display tweets from any X List you own or follow. Curate a list of industry experts, team members, or partners and embed that curated feed as a content stream on any page.
Made for web professionals
Built by a real web design agency — for everyone who needs a professional solution without the bloat.
Brands & thought leaders
Organizations and individuals active on X who want their posts visible on their own website without relying on Twitter's embed widget.
News sites & media brands
Publications that break news on X and want a live feed of their recent posts embedded on their homepage or topic landing pages.
Web design agencies
Agencies adding Twitter/X feeds to client sites without the page speed and privacy impact of Twitter's native embed widget.
