Various options…
- You can have more than one widget
- You can use a shortcode like
[rotatingtweets search='from:mpntod OR from:twitter']
- You can show a list with the two names on like
[rotatingtweets screen_name='mpntod' list='alresford']
Hope one of these works for you!
Intending to add the functionality to the widget this weekend!
Thanks a bunch – I was missing the multiple “from” syntax. Exactly what I wanted.
Are you sure there aren’t 5 of you? You’re very quick to respond. Thanks!
Hi there,
I’m trying to do the same thing here 350seattle.org. where do I switch the short code? (forgive me if that’s elementary–I’m new to wordpress.) I looked at the “edit plugins” code and also at the basic widget options, and neither seemed to have that option.
thanks!
Emily
Hi Emily,
Are you using a widget or have you put a shortcode into a post or page?
If the former, select ‘search’ as your ‘type of tweets’ and put something like:
from:mpntod OR from:twitter
in the search box.
If the latter, then put
[rotatingtweets search='from:mpntod OR from:twitter']
in your post or page.

ah….thanks, Martin. do you know how many I could do before it would cause the script confusion? (I’m using widgets, btw. as a newcomer to WP, I thought one had to, for plugins.)
To be honest, I don’t know. That’s more of a Twitter question than a plug-in question. The best guide I can find is at https://support.twitter.com/articles/71577-using-advanced-search
If you want a LOT of accounts, it may be easier to set up a Twitter list and display the Tweets from that rather than using the search function.
Thanks again, Martin….I’ll only want to call from a few accounts; I suspect it will be fine. Thanks for the plugin!
Hello,
I need to show the tweets from the user worklearnmobile and of the list webnews that belongs to this same user. How can I do this?
Thank you!
After looking at the options for advanced search and the Twitter search API, I don’t think you can unfortunately – although given that there is one person on the list currently, you can currently do it via searching for:
from:worklearnmobile OR from:geoffstead
Another option is to set up a list that includes worklearnmobile and all the people on webnews on another account.
