How to Embed an X (Twitter) Hashtag Feed on Your Website: Complete Guide

For the easiest way to embed X (Twitter) hashtag feeds with the help of this plugin, all you have to do is follow these steps.

Step 1: Install Smash Balloon X (Twitter) Feed Pro

Start by grabbing a copy of the X (Twitter) Feed Pro plugin here and install it on your WordPress website.

If you need help with this, you can use this tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin on your website as a guide.

Step 2: Create a New X (Twitter) Hashtag Feed

First, I’ll make a new X (Twitter) feed that’s exclusively for hashtag posts. To do this, let’s use the 3-step guided flow to create a new X (Twitter) feed.

Go to the X (Twitter) Feed » All Feeds menu from your WordPress dashboard and click on Add New.

Now, it’s time to choose the type of X (Twitter) feed that you want to display on your website:

• User Timeline: Display social media content from your X (Twitter) timeline
• Hashtag: Show X posts that have your chosen hashtags
• Search: Use a search term to select the X posts that you want to embed

Since this tutorial is about embedding an X (Twitter) hashtag feed on your website, I’ll select the hashtag option and click on Next.

Step 3: Connect Your X (Twitter) Account

By connecting your X (Twitter) account, the plugin can fetch X posts and display them on your website.

It’s super easy to do this. First, click on the Connect button here.

The plugin will then redirect you to X (Twitter) so you can give it read-only access to your account.

Long story short, read-only access means the plugin can’t actually make any changes to your account so it’s totally safe.

To continue, click on the Authorize app button.

Next, the plugin will send you back to your website so you can finish setting up your X (Twitter) hashtag feed.

To do that, you can go ahead and add the hashtags you want in the Hashtag field. In this tutorial, let’s use the KEEB_PD hashtag, since I’m personally a fan of keyboards.

You can add multiple hashtags as well by separating them with a comma.

Feel free to change this hashtag to your own branded hashtag so you can show your own custom X (Twitter) feed.

Finally, click on the Next button.

Step 4: Customize Your X (Twitter) Hashtag Feed

Like I said before, your X (Twitter) feed will already look pretty nice right out of the box since it copies your site’s theme.

To help you create unique X (Twitter) feeds with ease, the plugin allows you to pick from different feed templates:

• Default
• Masonry
• Simple Carousel
• Simple Cards
• Showcase Carousel
• Latest X posts
• Widget

To continue, select an X (Twitter) feed template and then click on Next.

Want to have even more control over your X (Twitter) feed’s style?

Once you pick your feed template, the plugin will open your X (Twitter) hashtag feed widget in the visual feed editor with live preview.

Here, you can change the customization options like feed layout, color scheme, header style, button design, and much more.

On the right side of the screen, you can see a real-time preview of your X (Twitter) feed so you can track your changes.

There are a lot of options here, so I’ll just guide you through some of my favorite options.

First, click on the Feed Layout option on the left.

On this page, you can take your time and play around with different layout options for your feed.

There are 3 options that you can pick from: List, Masonry, and Carousel.

With the List layout, you can display your X (Twitter) content in a full-width layout in a single row.

As a result, each X post is highly visible on your website.

Next, you have the Masonry layout, which shows your X posts in different columns.

Since you can show tons of X posts at once, it’s a great option for an X (Twitter) gallery.

Finally, there’s the Carousel layout template that you can use to embed a slideshow carousel of X posts on your WordPress site.

After selecting the X (Twitter) feed layout that you prefer, click on the Save button.

You can then click on the small Customize button to continue editing your X (Twitter) feed design.

From here, click on Color Scheme to set the colors for your X (Twitter) hashtag feed.

To help you easily change the colors of your X (Twitter) feed, there are 4 color schemes that you can choose from.

• Inherit from Theme: Copy your website’s branding colors
• Light: Light background with a dark font
• Dark: Darker background and a light font
• Custom: Manually select your colors

Select a color scheme that you prefer, and then click on Save once again.

That’s not all — you can also customize your font, X (Twitter) header, text length, “load more” buttons, and much more on this page.

On top of that, you can add filters to curate the X (Twitter) embeds that show up on your feed.

Finally, click on the Save button to confirm your changes.

The awesome part?

You don’t need to touch CSS, HTML, Javascript, or any other coding language. Simply click the customization options in the plugin’s visual feed customizer to personalize your feed’s design and content.

Why Embed X (Twitter) Hashtag Feeds on Your WordPress Website?
