    Hey

    I’ve just released an update which sees the plugin support loading embedded images so update and check it out. You may need to spply some new styling to accommodate the images.

    Thanks,
    Eji

    Thank you 🙂

    I did update the plugin and amended the line <show_images (string): yes or no; default: no> to yes. For some reason it is not working for me – see : http://goo.gl/UOpScr

    Not sure what the default size would be for an embedded image but might be nice if it was simply a thumbnail preview similar to what one sees in twitter clients like Tweetbot.

    Very kind of you to release this. It fits very nicely to my site.

    Would you be able to post the entire shortcode or template tag for me to see?

    Short code on my page is < [db_twitter_feed] >

    Let me know if there is anything you might need form me on this – I very much like the plug in 🙂

    To enable images in the feed, then, the full code should be:
    [db_twitter_feed show_images="yes"]

    Bear in mind that in some cases on the Twitter website, Twitter will read certain links (I think imgur or bit.ly links or something similar) and convert them to images but then not send the image information to feeds. No idea why, though.

    As for the image sizes I’ve left that to the person using the plugin to customise. The default behaviour is to simply render the images as received and let the current website control how they display. If you have access to the CSS of the site and know how to code such you can change the image to be displayed however you please.

    I made the change as you suggest but I am still unable to get images to show up.

    Site is http://www.billtoole.net/wordpress/twitter-3/

    Thanks for your help thus far 🙂

    Apologizes – it is working just fine. A google plugin in chrome intended to block tracking sites [ Disconnect ] was the issue.

    Suggestions as to correct CSS to scale to 50% would be much appreciated but quite beyond the scope of this particular discussion 🙂

    Thank you for the help. DevBuddy is perfect 🙂

    Never mind – I figured it out :

    img {
    width: 50%;
    height: 50%;
    }
