The Twitter plugin for WordPress supports embedding Moments by pasting a Tweet URL into the WordPress post editor or by customizing a [twitter_moment] shortcode.

The Twitter plugin for WordPress extends WordPress oEmbed with additional plugin-specific functionality. URL-based embeds pass through the plugin's shortcode handler for site-wide customization of Tweet parameters. JavaScript normally returned in an oEmbed response is enqueued through the WordPress resource manager, improving site performance while centralizing customizations.

Embed using a shortcode

The Twitter plugin for WordPress registers the twitter_moment shortcode handler to allow customization of an embedded Moment through a shortcode macro.

Supported shortcode parameters

Attribute	Description	Example
id	The numerical ID of the desired Moment. Appears as the final path component of URL	814165386312712192
width	Set the maximum width of the grid in whole pixels	500

Site-wide customization using a filter

A website may set site-wide preferences for embedded Tweets by acting on the associative array passed to the shortcode_atts_twitter_moment filter. Functions acting on the filter should set a decimal integer when modifying the value of the width or limit key.

Example:

/**
 * Always limit the maximum number of Tweets displayed in a moment
 *
 * @param array $out Parsed user-defined valid attributes or default attribute value
 * @param array $pairs supported attributes and their default values
 * @param array $attributes user-defined attributes in the shortcode tag
 *
 * @return array options array with our customization applied
 */
function moment_custom_options( $out, $pairs, $attributes )
{
  $out['limit'] = 5;
  return $out;
}
add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_twitter_moment', 'moment_custom_options', 10, 3 );
