To Twitter

Plugin Description

To Twitter includes the following functionality;

  • Automatic tweeting of posts and pages to Twitter as they are published.
  • Automatic retweeting of posts and pages a user specified period of time after publication.
  • Scheduled tweeting of posts and pages on a randomly selected basis at a user specified date and time (each day separately configurable).
  • Automatic adding of hashtags to posts and pages (save draft before manually adding any required hashtags).
  • Automatic replacement of word or phrases with hashtags (for example, switch the word ClassicPress for @GetClassicPress).
  • Sending of manual tweets (including tweet threads).
  • Sending of scheduled tweets (including tweet threads) at a user specified date and time.
  • Support for four media images attached to a tweet from posts, pages, manual and scheduled tweets.
  • Integrates with Short URLs from [azurecurve](https://development.azurecurve.co.uk/classicpress-plugins/ for post and page addresses in tweets.
  • Retain and view tweet history.
  • Links to tweets on Twitter in tweet history.

As scheduled tweets rely on cron for processing, large images can cause timeouts. This can be mitigated by switching off the wp-cron and setting up a cron job on your web host control panel.

This plugin is multisite compatible with each site having its own settings.
