Why Add Twitter Feeds to a Divi Website?

Divi is a popular page builder for WordPress that you can use to create a beautiful website with ease.

But it might not be enough to just have a website that looks beautiful. After all, most of your visitors will leave the site and never return.

“Here’s a troubling fact: 95% of the visitors who reach your website will never come back again.That’s not a quarter-sized hole in your pail, it’s a crater.”

– Josh Sturgeon, Co-Founder of EmberTribe

A great way to engage your visitors is to show Twitter content on your website. That way, you can show engaging content and keep people on your site. 

  • With engaging social media content, you can have people spend more time on your site. That way, your site can get better SEO and reach even more people with ease.
  • By embedding tweets from your own account and turn website traffic into engagement and new Twitter followers with ease.
  • Using a twitter feed, you can showcase your latest product releases, news, announcements, sales, and more in an eye-catching way.
  • You can embed reviews and testimonials from Twitter on your product pages. With this social proof, you’ll have a much easier time converting people into customers.

Easy Way to Get Twitter Feed to Show on WordPress

To manually add a Twitter feed to Divi, you’ll have to generate embed codes, tweak the code, and then add it to your website.

Plus, the Twitter content won’t copy your website’s design if you use this method, and the tweets can even clash with your branding.

The good news?

There’s a much better way to display Twitter posts without touching a single line of code. Plus, you don’t need to sort through extensions on the Divi Marketplace.

You can just use the Twitter Feed Pro plugin.

All you have to do is follow the simple steps below, and you can embed Twitter feeds on your WordPress site. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Download the Twitter Feed Pro Plugin

First, get the Twitter Feed Pro plugin from here and then download it to your computer.

With this plugin, you can go ahead and create your Twitter feed by following the guided flow.

The plugin will then ask which type of Twitter feed you want on your Divi website. You can choose from 3 options here:

In this example, I went ahead and picked a user timeline for the Divi website.

Step 3: Connect Your Twitter Account

For your Twitter feed to display tweets on your Divi website, you can simply connect it to your Twitter account.

To get started, click on the Connect button.

The plugin will then open Twitter on your web browser so you can allow read-only access for Twitter Feed Pro.

Using this access, your feeds can fetch information from Twitter and then display tweets on your website. The plugin won’t be able to make any changes at all, so it’s completely safe to use.

To do that, click on Authorize app button here.

Once you do that, the plugin will open your website once again. Here, you can choose the source of your Divi Twitter feed.

Since we’re embedding a user timeline, we’ll add the “@starbucks” Twitter handle here.

After adding the source, click on Next to continue.

Step 4: Customize Your Twitter Feed

Since the plugin will automatically copy your Divi website’s design, your feeds will look beautiful right out of the box.

On top of that, you also get control over the design of your Twitter feed.

To help you get started quickly, you can choose from 7 different feed templates with pre-built layouts:

  • Default
  • Masonry cards
  • Simple carousel
  • Simple cards
  • Showcase carousel
  • Latest tweet
  • Widget

Once you select your Twitter feed Divi template, click on Next.

Next, the plugin will open the live feed editor so you can customize your Twitter feed in detail. That way, you can make sure the design compliments your Divi theme perfectly.

On the left, you can find the customization panel with options to set your Divi social media feed’s layout, colors, size, header design, and much more.

When you customize your Twitter feed, you can use the live preview on the right to track your changes easily.

To get started, I usually change the layout of the tweets. It’s a great way to change how visitors will interact with the feed.

First, click on Feed Layout so you can set the layout of the tweets on your Divi website.

Twitter Feed Pro comes with 3 options when it comes to the feed layout: List, Masonry, and Carousel

Let’s take a look at each of these layouts below.

First, you have the list layout that you can use to show tweets in a single column, like the official Twitter website.
