Twittar: WordPress Plugin to Display Twitter Avatar in Comments

Twitter has transformed the way people communicate with each other. It has now become extremely popular across the web with millions of users exchanging billions of tweets each day. Almost every blog today has a retweet button for allowing its readers to share the articles on twitter.

Twittar WordPress Plugin lets wordpress blogs display twitter avatar in comments. It loads user’s avatars by matching the email address to the user’s twitter email address. If user doesn’t have a twitter account, it loads the user’s gravatar, if user doesn’t have a gravatar, it loads the default avatar image.

Some other features are :

  • You can set a 2-pixel border to the images (you choose the color).
  • You can choose the size: we suggest 24, 48 or 72 pixels.
  • You can set an image other than the default one to load if a user doesn’t have a Twitter account or a gravatar.
  • It builds a valid image for you (with alt and title attributes, etc.) based on user details.
  • Allows you to add a class to the image, so you can style it later.
