WordPress has many plugins which help you integrate your X (formerly Twitter) account into your website, but the ProPhoto software has built-in features that will make the process pretty simple. You can use several different ProPhoto tools to link to your X/Twitter profile or feature your latest posts on your site.
Link to a Twitter account
The simplest way to integrate your X/Twitter profile on your website is to simply link to your profile from your website. There are several ways to do this in ProPhoto, but you'll basically just paste the address of your profile into one of these tools:
A link in a menu
You can use a Custom URL link item in your navigation menu.
A graphic/button anywhere in your layout:
You can place a Graphic module into any layout, and within one module you can place many images or tiles which can link anywhere you like, as in this example:
There are lots of great sources of icons online if you don't want to make them yourself.
Embed X/Twitter profiles, buttons, or other items
The X/Twitter website provides lots of tools you can use to integrate Twitter content on your website. ProPhoto provides a Twitter module you can drag into your layout:
This module can be added to any part of a ProPhoto layout.
Configure the Twitter module
- Visit the Twitter "publish" website: https://publish.twitter.com/
- Then select what you'd like to embed (a post, a hashtag, etc), and follow the steps:
- Edit your ProPhoto layout using the Visual Builder screen.
- Go to the Elements > Modules sidebar area and drag a Twitter module into any part of your layout. (pictured above)
- After dragging in a Twitter module, use the Twitter Settings tab in the popup to paste the embed code you copied in the step above, as seen here:
After pasting the code from Twitter, you should find that your module appears in your layout.
Changing the size, color scheme, and other options
Before copying your code in the steps above, you can click the option to set customization options on the Twitter page before your embed code is generated.
Using these options allows you to set color scheme, language, and other options:
Make adjustments to these settings and click Update so the code you copy includes your tweaks. Paste the code you've copied into the Twitter module as explained above.
If you want to integrate a Twitter feature you don't see described here, or if you can't achieve exactly what you want with the built-in tools, consider searching for a WordPress plugin to help you set up X/Twitter features that are not covered here.
