    Hello, I am using the twitter feed search plugin to implement a wish list. Is there any way to have it pull back tweets older than 7 days?
    Here is my shortcode:
    [fts_twitter twitter_name=LauraBentleyUS search=from:LauraBentleyUS%#SpoilLauraBentley tweets_count=6 twitter_height=6000px show_retweets=no]
    I would like for my client to not have to repost/tweet her wish list items every week.

    Thanks,

    Allen

    @frikshun,

    Thanks for using our plugin! I hear ya about the 7 days rule we wished it did not have that limitation, but unfortunately it is apart of the rules for that option in the Twitter API. See the first paragraph last sentence. https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search

    “The Twitter Search API searches against a sampling of recent Tweets published in the past 7 days.”

    So even if we upgrade to the paid version, that restriction will still be in effect?

    Unfortunately yes as it’s a restriction by Twitter.
