How to Add Twitter Reactions to WordPress

1. Log into your WordPress account. Click 'Plugins,' then 'Add New.' Note that you will need 'Administrator' or 'Super Admin' privileges to complete this process.
2. Type 'Twitter Mentions as Comments' into the search box, then click 'Search Plugins.' When the results list appears, locate 'Twitter Mentions as Comments,' and click 'Install Now.' The plugin will take a few seconds to install on your blog. When the installation is complete, click 'Activate Plugin.'

3. Click 'Settings' from the left-hand menu bar, then click 'Twitter ' Comments,' a new option that has now appeared. From the options screen, decide if you want to include ReTweets in your comments. A ReTweet is where one Twitter user duplicates another's message, sending it to their own followers. This could give the impression of a large discussion taking place, but it might also fill your comments with redundant Tweets.
4. Select the number of posts you want to check for Twitter reactions, starting with the most recent. If you want to check all posts, leave this field as '-1.' If you set this as '0,' the plugin will only check Twitter for reactions to the posts on your main index page.
5. Select a 'Comment Type.' You can have the Twitter reactions placed in-line with normal blog comments by clicking 'Comment' from the drop-down menu, or you can keep them separate by choosing 'Trackback' or 'Pingback' -- assuming your blog theme is set up to display these differently.
6. Select either 'Hourly' or 'Manually,' depending on how you want the plugin to check for new Twitter reactions. If you want the process to be automatic, leave this on the default 'Hourly' setting.
7. Click 'Save Changes,' then click 'Check for New Tweets Now.' The Twitter reactions will now be displayed on your blog.
