This Plugin works seamlessly and you don’t need to edit your theme files to add the new field to the comment form. It automatically adds it when activated. **Note: Because of the changes in the way Twitter API works, from v2.0 of the plugin you need to create a twitter app and provide the access key and token. Refer to the installation instructions to find out how to do this** ### Template functions This Plugin provides 7 template functions which you can use in your theme to customize the way the comment author’s twitter id/profile should be displayed. * `get_comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id)` – Get the Twitter id of the comment author * `comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id)` – Print the Twitter id of the comment author * `get_comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id)` – Get the Twitter profile url of the comment author * `comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id)` – Print the Twitter url of the comment author * `get_comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id)` – Get the twitter profile image url of the comment author * `comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id)` – Print the twitter profile image url of the comment author * `get_twitter_profile_image($twitter_username)` – Get the twitter profile image of a user using twitter id ### Styling using CSS By default the Plugin uses the class `comment-form-twitter` for the new twitter field. You can add CSS to that field or you can change the class in the Plugins setting page. ### Development The development of the Plugin happens over at [github](https://github.com/sudar/twitter-avatar-reloaded).
