In our bid to offer great freebies along with our excellent Premium WordPress Themes, we introduce to you Twounter, a Twitter follower counter plugin for WordPress.
Twounter is a WordPress Plugin that fetches the number of followers for a twitter profile and returns it in plain text format. Twounter uses Twitter API to ensure that the plugin provides the maximum speed while fetching the number of followers.
Installation:
- Download the plugin
- Extract the zip file and upload “twounter” folder to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory
- Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress
Usage:
- Use the <?php echo twounter(‘username’) ; ?> function in your template files to show the number of Twitter followers. (replace ‘username’ with your Twitter user name)
- use the twounter shortcode [twounter]username[/twounter] in post/page editor to return the numbers of followers for the username.
Since the output is provided in simple text format, you can use CSS to style it anyway you want, and put it anywhere you want. Think of the possibilities!
Plugin Details:
- Plugin Version: 1.0.1
- Wordpress Version: 2.7.1 (please let us know through comments if the plugin works on other versions)
Changelog 1.0.1
- Twitter API is limited to 100 calls per hour. Twounter now caches the number of followers for 5 minutes. (Thanks to ThePokerJerk for ponting this out.)
Planned Features:
Please don’t hesitate to suggest us more features for the plugin. We are always looking for suggestions and appreciate you for sharing your ideas with us.

As a blogger, you can connect to your commenters by letting them share their Twitter profile when they comment on your blog.
Wouldn’t it be cool if the commenter provides URL to their twitter profile in the website URL field, and you can add a link to a cute little icon with “Follow Me!” text right next to their comment?
So today, I’ll teach you how to add that kind of functionality to your WordPress blog.
