Any ideas on how to handle this?</p> <p>I've also thought of other ways this could be done, eg. if there were a service that could turn the twitter feed into a json file and see if there were better fit plugins/ options to import said json file or something like that. But so far, the decisions taken 1 through 3 are the upstanding ones. I know that a while ago there may have been other options as well (eg. in the past I had managed to do something similar by turning a Twitter feed into a structured feed through Yahoo pipes, but I cannot remember much now)</p> <p>Any ideas on how this could be better implemented? </p> <p>Caveat: I'm using Wordpress because it's what the client prefers to be flexible to move contents and design around, not necessarily because it's optimal (Gatsby could be better, for an example).</p> <p>All inputs appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> wordpress help rss twitter
