Add Twitter links to your WordPress posts
Created 282 days ago.
Want an easier way to add links to Twitter user pages? Here’s a quick solution.
Add the following code to your functions.php file within your theme folder…
add_filter('the_content', 'link_to_twitter');
function link_to_twitter($content) {
$start=strpos($content,"[@");
while ($start!=0) {
$code=substr($content,$start+2,strpos($content,"]",$start)-$start-2);
$content=str_replace("[@".$code."]",'<a href="http://twitter.com/'.$code.'" target="_blank">@'.$code.'</a>',$content);
$start=strpos($content,"[@",$end);
}
return $content;
}
Now, you simply need to simply specify a Twitter username within square brackets and it will be replaced with the same username, but now with a link to Twitter.
For example, add [@dartiss] to your post and it will display as @dartiss.
