Not unless it involves getting stuck into detailed CSS!

What happens if you change the JavaScript version on the Rotating Tweets settings page?

It’s all there but displaying as black on black.

If you add some CSS like:

div.rotatingtweet p,
div.rotatingtweet p a  {
    color: white;
}

it should all appear.

You need to switch to version 2 of the JavaScript in the plug-in settings for the Carousel to work.

With number shortcodes you can get rid of inverted commas which makes them a bit easier

[rotatingtweets screen_name='tagzagnz' official_format=2 rotation_type='carousel' carousel_count=10 include_rts=1 carousel_responsive=1 show_media=1]

Hi there.

There are two different problems here.

1. Changing the current button means changing the CSS in an iframe created by Twitter (via some JavaScript) – and that isn’t easily possible. You can read more about changing CSS in an iframe here.

Currently the only real solution to this would either be:

1. to switch off the Twitter JavaScript (which I could probably add a switch for – since it already switches off for people who have ‘do not track’ enabled) and write your own – or
2. change Rotating Tweets to include its own Twitter button that popped open the relevant Twitter window and was style-able in the same way as the rest of the plug-in

2. Changing the border round all the tweets is pretty straightforward. Something like:

#content #main .rotatingtweets {
	border: solid thick #007acc;
}

should do it. If that doesn’t work, you might need to make your CSS selector more ‘specific’. You can read about CSS specificity here.

The latest upgrade should fix this.

There isn’t a function on Twitter to only find retweets, so if only_rts=1 is set, Rotating Tweets loads the last 60 Tweets and looks through them for retweets from other accounts.

If there aren’t any, then it won’t show any tweets.

I think this might be what’s happening in your case.

That’s odd.

What happens if you use the development version?

I’ve just tried it on my own test site and it seems to be working properly.

A quicker answer that you might want to try first is:

<?php echo do_shortcode( "[rotatingtweets screen_name='mytwitter' only_rts=1‪]" ) ?>‬

By the way, when I copied your text, it had ’ instead of '.

There’s now a development version that uses the longer tweet.

Does it work for you?
