How to get your Twitter feed on your WordPress Blog (or any other RSS Feed)

·

Well, I wanted to have my Twitter feed on a page instead of showing up on my blog’s sidebar. You can use your Twitter feed or any other RSS feed with this method. Just get the BDP RSS from OZ Politics Blog and the Exec-PHP plugins. The first allows you to have any RSS feed displayed on your blog except you have to hardcode the PHP tags for it, that’s when the second plugin comes in handy because it allows you to execute the php in posts or pages. The BDP RSS plugin alows you to format the feed’s output and gives you lots of options like formating the font size and displaying images within the feed. You can check the work in progress here, I still have to tweak it some more…

    i was thinking of getting something along those lines, but what do you mean you have to hard code the php tags to it? you mean different feeds don’t get different tags? if so, can you show me how you do it? oh, and does it work in php 4? thank you 🙂

    By default you can’t use PHP code in a post or in a page, the EXEC-PHP plugin allows to execute php code inside a post/page. You can use different tags for each feed, check the readme file that comes with the plugin, it’s very easy and understandable.

    well, apparently i misunderstood what the plugin was about, i was looking for something that would actually _post_ in several categories/tags. oh well, this would have to do. 🙂
