Embedded Tweet
The Twitter plugin for WordPress supports embedding a Tweet by pasting Tweet URL into the WordPress post editor or by customizing a [tweet]WordPress shortcode.
Embed using a Tweet URL
Add an embedded Tweet to a WordPress post by copy-and-pasting a Tweet URL on its own line in the post content area.

The Twitter plugin for WordPress extends the oEmbed Tweet URL functionality available since WordPress 3.4 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 tweet shortcode handler to allow embedded Tweet customization through a shortcode macro.

Supported shortcode parameters
The numerical ID of the desired Tweet.
Example Value: 552230355781320704
Set to false, 0, no, or off to disable auto-expanding a video, photo, or link preview.
Example Value: false
Set to false, 0, no, or off to disable display of the previous Tweet in a conversation if the Tweet was in reply to another Tweet.
Example Value: false
Set to left, center, or right to float the Tweet relative to the parent element.
Example Value: right
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_tweetWordPress filter. Functions acting on the filter should set boolean literals when modifying value for the cards or conversation key.
Example:
/**
* Always hide previous Tweet in conversation
*
* @param array $options parsed options with defaults applied
* @param array $defaults default values of an embedded Tweet
* @param array $attributes user-defined shortcode attributes
*
* @return array options array with our customization applied
*/
function tweet_custom_options( $options, $defaults, $attributes )
{
$options['conversation'] = false;
return $options;
}
add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_tweet', 'tweet_custom_options', 10, 3 );
