I'm using the widget to show my tweets in the sidebar, is there a way to style the text of my tweets using css? I'd like the text of the tweet to be one color, and the time it was posted (ex: 3 Hours Ago) to be another. Can't find a way to do this. Thanks! Hey Alex,

been using this plugin for a long time, on multiple sites, and I love it.

I’m using the widget to show my tweets in the sidebar, is there a way to style the text of my tweets using css? I’d like the text of the tweet to be one color, and the time it was posted (ex: 3 Hours Ago) to be another.

Can’t find a way to do this.

Thanks!

For example, you could put a placeholder token in using the filter on the posts for the digest, then replace that late just before the post is inserted. Or you can change the tweet output format now.

I managed to figure out how to force a digest post and test that my plugin was indeed adding the more tag properly after the set number of tweets, however all that work has been in vain because on line 788 of twitter-tools.php you use the wp_specialchars() on the tweet text which renders the more tag useless. Pretty disappointing as this was just my second run in with wordpress prlugins :( I would like to know - isn't the use of wp_specialchars here needless? Twitter text *is* already sanitized oh well!

Try it and let me know if you need something else. Yep, there’s a hook in place that should allow a plugin to do that. Try it and let me know if you need something else.

Or is there a hook that would allow writing a plugin for the same? Hey Alex – will there be an option that will allow me to put a after N number of tweets in the digests?

Also appreciate that your plugin picks up the links for the @ replies and # hashtag searches. Such a simple feature and yet oh so very good! One thing I'd like to see is the suppression of certain hashtags from the Twitter Tool feed widget. For instance, having a bunch of #followfridays appear in my Twitter Tools feed just looks untidy - it would be great to exlude any Tweet with the #followfriday tags, etc. Just something to consider in upcoming upgrades ;) Keep up the awesome work!
