Looking for a simple way to showcase your X posts on your WordPress site, even if you’re just getting started?
Embedding your X posts can help you highlight key conversations, share updates, and encourage visitors to follow you on X (Twitter).
With X (Twitter)’s average organic engagement rate being only 0.05%, it makes sense to promote your X posts beyond X (Twitter)’s platform and reach a wider audience.
But trying to use WordPress’s basic options or manual code snippets can get confusing fast, especially for beginners.
I remember when I first set out to connect my X (Twitter) account to my own site, I ran into plenty of bumps before finding an easy solution that actually worked.
Here at Smash Balloon, we’ve guided thousands of WordPress users through smooth social media integrations like X (Twitter) feeds, making the process hassle-free and effective.
In this article, I’ll show you the newbie-friendly steps to embed X posts in WordPress so you can do it in minutes, even if you’ve never touched a line of code.

Ways to Embed X posts in WordPress
First of all, you need to know there are 2 ways to embed an X post in WordPress.
- Manually: You can copy the URL of the X post and paste it on your website. This way, WordPress will automatically embed it. Sadly, it can be time-consuming if you want to embed multiple X posts.
- Easy Way: With the X (Twitter) Feed Pro plugin, you can easily add as many X posts as you want to your site. You can even add X (Twitter) feeds that you can set to automatically update as you make new X posts.
How to Embed Your X posts in Your WordPress (Manually)
To manually embed an X post, first, open the X post on your browser. Then look for the URL in the address bar at the top and copy it.
Once you do that, return to your website so you can go ahead and embed the X post.
From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Pages » Add New menu to open up the WordPress editor.
You can also use a WordPress post if you like. To do that, go to the Posts » Add New menu from your dashboard instead.
We’ll use a WordPress page for our example.
Then, simply paste that URL from earlier into the editor, and WordPress will automatically embed it.
Or you can use the X (Twitter) WordPress block instead. First, click on the small plus icon (+) and type “twitter” in the search bar. Then just select the X (Twitter) block.
Now you can just paste the X (Twitter) URL from earlier in that field and then click on embed.
Once you do that, WordPress will embed the X post for you. Don’t forget to click on Publish to save your progress.
While it can be a simple way to embed an X post on your WordPress blog posts, there are a lot of limitations here.
- For every X post, you’ll have to go and copy the URL and come back to paste it. And if you make a new X post, you’ll have to repeat it again. So, you’re wasting lots of your valuable time just to embed multiple X posts.
- You can’t really customize or change how the X posts look. As a result, the X posts can clash with your own branding style.
- If you want to add multiple X posts from a specific hashtag, you’ll have to manually add them all yourself.

Just add the source on the popup and click on Next.
