[Plugin: Twitter Cards] How to set up Twitter-Cards Plug-in to my Twitter?

hmmm i can’t find this filter properties anywhere? can you tell me where to find this code?

$t = apply_filters( 'twitter_cards_properties', $this->toArray() );
		if ( ! is_array( $t ) || empty( $t ) )
			return '';
		$s = '';
		foreach ( $t as $name => $value ) {
			$s .= self::build_meta_element( $name, $value, $xml );
		}
		return $s;
	}

First you need to hook into the filter from code in your theme or site plugin(s).

add_filter( 'twitter_cards_properties', 'twitter_custom' );

Next you need to modify the array passed to the filter with your own values.

function twitter_custom( $twitter_card ) {
	if ( is_array( $twitter_card ) ) {
		$twitter_card['creator'] = '@niall';
		$twitter_card['creator:id'] = '1085';
	}
	return $twitter_card;
}

Do i need to put this
add_filter( ‘twitter_cards_properties’, ‘twitter_custom’ );

in header or?

and where i put this

function twitter_custom( $twitter_card ) {
if ( is_array( $twitter_card ) ) {
$twitter_card[‘creator’] = ‘@niall’;
$twitter_card[‘creator:id’] = ‘1085’;
}
return $twitter_card;
}

Sorry for being such a noob…

You can add both pieces of code to your theme’s functions.php file. Change the creator fields of course.

Ok thanks…now i’ve done that…do i now need to add those meta tags in my header file?

as long as your theme calls wp_head() and the plugin is activated you should be all set.

plugin is activated, but not see Twitter cards anyway…hmmm i think im doing something wrong…I haven’t include meta tags to my header file, but nothing changes anyway…gosh im noob…

Niall – Adding the function into my child theme works for me – thx.

Even if you dont have time to code into the the plugin so it is “plug n play”, it would be very helpful to MANY people if you put the instructions in the installation tab.

Thanks for your hard work ??
