Can I display posts from a specific screen name that have a certain hashtag

There are two main ways to filter a user feed in Twitter Feed Pro plugin:

Option 1: Use a “Search” Feed

Search feeds are useful for more complex filtering scenarios. If you want to display posts from a specific user that include a specific hashtag, you can use a custom search query.

Example: Filter by One Hashtag

Use this format to show posts from a specific account that include a particular hashtag:

from:username #hashtag

Example query:

from:smashballoon #WordPress

This will return public posts from the user @smashballoon that include #WordPress.

Example: Filter by Multiple Hashtags

You can also include multiple hashtags in your query:

from:username #hashtag1 #hashtag2

Example query:

from:smashballoon #WordPress #Twitter

For full details on configuring search feeds, refer to our Search Feed Guide.

Option 2: Use the “Allowed Words” Filter

If you are using a User Timeline feed, you can filter the posts by hashtags using the Allowed Words option in the plugin settings.

Steps:

  1. Set the Feed Type to User Timeline.
  2. Go to the Settings tab.
  3. Find the Filters section.
  4. In the Allowed Words or Hashtags field, enter the hashtag(s) you want to display.

Examples:

  • For one hashtag:
#WordPress
  • For multiple hashtags (separate with commas):
#WordPress, #Xplugin, #SocialMedia

Only posts from the selected user that include at least one of the listed hashtags will be shown.
