    So, you want your tweet to post as “status” format? (using WP 3.4.2)
    No problem.
    (this is a very rough solution…but it works)

    around line 193, you have this…

    // Add custom fields to the post
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "status_id", $meta_value=$item["id"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "status", $meta_value=$item["description"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "status_href", $meta_value=$item["link"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "twitter_username", $meta_value=$item["twitter_username"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "twitter_username_link", $meta_value=$item["twitter_username_link"], $unique=TRUE);  

                return TRUE;

    just add this little line (above the return TRUE)…

    // Add custom fields to the post
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "status_id", $meta_value=$item["id"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "status", $meta_value=$item["description"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "status_href", $meta_value=$item["link"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "twitter_username", $meta_value=$item["twitter_username"], $unique=TRUE);
                add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key = "twitter_username_link", $meta_value=$item["twitter_username_link"], $unique=TRUE);
                set_post_format($post_id,"status");
                return TRUE;

    Again, this plugin is great…

    I’m thinking in a way to “decode” (in the simplest way) twits with pictures (twitter, instagram, etc.)
    I know this is in Chandesh (developer) plans, but i can hardly wait for it…

    Hi ppriede,

    Again many thanks for that solution.

    Regarding the pictures I am hoping to be able to work on that very soon.

    Thanks & regards,
    Chandesh.

    You could also use this solution to automatically make all posts in a certain category into a certain post format. I was able to modify it to do multiples of the same in one plugin, and I’m currently using the combination of that and this plugin to do so with imported tweets.
