For the many website owners, the Twitter feed is very much important. Using our Twitter Carousel Widget, you can increase social engagement, keeping users on your own site, mostly improving SEO.
So, let’s get started.
To Insert Widget
To insert a widget into the section actually more or less is a matter of fun. Simply, drag and drop the Twitter posts carousel widget you want to use for your project. As you see in the screenshot above.
After inserting the Twitter Carousel widget, you will find a message to set API. If you are to use the widget for Twitter feed, you should first generate the API key.
When you are going to generate the API Key, you should make sure to do things. For example,
- Any existing account. If you have, just read another doc “How to generate Twitter API Key?”.
- If you don’t have an account, you have to make a Developer Account. Simple, read this doc “How to generate developer account on Twitter?”.
Content Tab
Using the Content Tab, you’ll be able to make a layout of a particular part of a website. And in this regard, some handy sections in the tab will assist you a lot.
Now, I’m going to show the sections of the tab and how they work behind the widget.
Layout
Finally, since you will generate the Twitter API key, it can be better able to set the layout of web content in the Twitter Carousel widget.
Go to the Content tab > Layout section > and check all controls as instructed below.
Here, this section will allow you to set Column numbers and Limit, and Cache Time as well.
Mostly, using the switcher button (Show Avatar, Avatar Link, etc), you might easily manage the carousel item. Switching on the Show Avatar on/ off option, you can display the twitter profile picture.
Come on, Avatar Link on/off option will let you make the profile picture linkable. See the image example.
Navigation
Simply, go to the Content tab > Navigation.
In general, from this section, you will be able to set Arrow, Progress, Dots, Arrows and Dots, Arrows and Fractions with carousel. If you want you can also go for the None for the carousel sliders. Moreover, the control of the position will let you set the position for each of the Navigation items.
Carousel Settings

Here, this section will allow you to set the carousel behavior. From here, you should work mainly with Autoplay, Autoplay Speed, Pause on Hover, Center Slide, Grab Cursor, Loop, Animation Speed and Observer.
More importantly, from the layout control, here, you can go for the Coverflow/ Carousel. And another thing is Item Match Height and it will let you match the height of the columns.
