Customizing the "official-format='3'" shortcode

    When I use the “official-format=3” in the shortcode, at first it loads a nice looking simple format that displays the tweet in big grey letters in between quotation marks. Almost immediately afterwards it changes to a different format. It’s hard to explain without seeing it and I can’t take a screenshot fast enough to be able to show what I mean. If you go to my site: https://www.knksandbox.civilrose.com and look at the top of the screen where I’ve put the tweets, you can see what I’m talking about. Try reloading the page and you can see it switch from one format to another. I want to stick with the format it loads initially.

    Can anyone please help me!? ??

    That’s a test format that was never meant to be used!

    It’s an attempt to try and rotate the official Twitter tweet that has never quite worked – because the rotation script runs before the Twitter script that replaces the text with a tweet in their format and so all the sizing breaks!

    The effect you’re liking (before it gets replaced) is the effect of displaying a tweet as a <blockquote>. If you’re using a shortcode to display your tweet, something like:

    <blockquote>[rotatingtweets screen_name='keysnkrates' official_format=2]</blockquote>

    might give the effect you’re looking for.

    The other option would be to put some styling in to your theme CSS or to a rotatingtweets.css file in /wp-content/uploads/. For example:

    div.rotatingtweet {
   border-left-style: solid;
   border-left-color: gray;
   border-left-width: 3px;
   padding-left: 2em;
   font-size: larger;
   font-style: italic;
}
