How to Embed a Twitter Hashtag Feed on Your Website (Complete Guide)

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

Step 1: Install Twitter Feed Pro

Start by grabbing a copy of the 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 Twitter Hashtag Feed

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

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

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

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

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

Step 3: Connect Your Twitter Account

By connecting your Twitter account, the plugin can fetch tweets 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 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 Twitter hashtag feed.

To do that, you can go ahead and add the hashtags you want in the Hashtag field.

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 Twitter feed.

Finally, click on the Next button.

Step 4: Customize Your Twitter Hashtag Feed

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

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

• Default
• Masonry
• Simple Carousel
• Simple Cards
• Showcase Carousel
• Latest Tweets
• Widget

To continue, select a Twitter feed template and then click on Next.

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

Once you pick your feed template, the plugin will open your 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 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 Twitter content in a full-width layout in a single row.

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

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

Since you can show tons of tweets at once, it’s a great option for a Twitter gallery.

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

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

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

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

To help you easily change the colors of your 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, Twitter header, text length, “load more” buttons, and much more on this page.

On top of that, you can add filters to curate the 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.

Step 5: Embed Your Twitter Hashtag Feed on WordPress

With the help of Twitter Feed Pro, you can easily embed Twitter feeds on a website’s page or widget-ready areas like your footer or sidebar.

Let’s take a look at how you can do that.

Add Twitter Hashtag Feed to WordPress Page

You can display your Twitter feed on your WordPress page directly from your live feed editor.

First, click on the Embed button in the top-right corner of the editor.

After that, you can see a new popup where you can set the location of your Twitter feed.

Doing that will open that web page in the WordPress editor.

Just like that, this easy Twitter feed widget will show your hashtag feed on your page.

Then you can select the Footer panel instead.

From here, click on the plus icon (+) to add a widget and then click on Twitter Feed.

Finally, click on Update to save your changes.

Now, you can see your Twitter feed displayed on your sidebar when you visit your website, like this:

To start showing feeds of Twitter hashtag posts, you can get started with Twitter Feed Pro here.

Why Embed Twitter Hashtag Feeds on Your WordPress Website?

Hashtags on Twitter/X are a fantastic way to follow specific topics, events, or even conversations about your brand.

Embedding a live feed of a particular hashtag directly on your website can be a really smart way to bring that dynamic discussion and relevant content right to your visitors.

Here’s why embedding a Twitter/X hashtag feed is a great idea:

• Build Trust in Your Business: Showing tweets centered around a specific topic, event, or campaign directly on your website acts as social proof and builds trust in your brand.
• Boost Your Site’s Rankings: When you add dynamic, updating Twitter content to your WordPress, you keep site visitors interested and increase your site’s dwell time, which helps improve your website SEO.
• Highlight What People Are Saying: Just like Instagram hashtag feeds, a Twitter hashtag feed showcases real-time conversations and user-generated content (UGC) related to your brand or topic.
• Keep Your Site Content Fresh: Your live Twitter widget updates automatically, ensuring your website always has the latest hashtag activity.

Basically, embedding a hashtag feed is an effective way to add relevant, dynamic, and engaging content to your website, connecting your site visitors to the pulse of Twitter/X around a topic that matters to you.
