Thanks for the plugin
thanks, but I would love to see a “text-only” output instead of the button.
This is something I plan on including in the next version.
Very cool plugin.. I just activated it in my site and it complements it very well! Thanks Ajay!
I never tried Twitter since I still have no friends to follow.. well I will try this for sure
What are the advantages of using the plugin versus just adding the HTML code given by Twitter Counter?Please advise.
Mainly that you don’t need to edit the template files.
Ajay,
Thanks for such a sweet plugin. I’ve been looking to integrate some of my blogs with twitter, and this proved to be helpful in my pursuit. If we wanted to get this in our WP header, would we still have to tweak the sidebar.php file in addition to the header.php one?
Am a bit confused by this question? When you say add to WP Header, where and why exactly?
Ajay,
I think he wants his twitter plugin at the top of his wordpress theme, which probably has a header.php file. I would assume it would work but it may not look great with css formatting and all. Either way, excellent plugin recommendation, thanks for posting it.
Very nice plug-in. There are some other Twitter based WP plug-ins out there, but this is the first one I’ve seen that shows the badges. Well done.
hey ppl… thanks!! vewwi nice plugin.. now i can display the number of followers ..

I like this plugin…although I’m not sure I want know just how unpopular Iam.
Thanks for the cool plug in! I use a different plug in currently for Twitter, but I’m going to switch over to this to show the number of followers (now that I have over 350).

Great plugin- all up and running – many many thanks for your work here
Please tell me the translation file “.po” file to where? I translate “zh_TW.po” file, but put it in the folder is invalid.
@Carrie, is there some error that you are getting?
@Ajay, I mean that I was translate this plugins to my local languages, I had a “zh_TW.po” file, but I don’t konw this file isn’t work? I put it into folder, but still isn’t work.
So, what can I do? Please tell me!
Does this work for other plugins?
I think you need to call it
twittercounter-zh_TW.po@Ajay, if I need to call it “twittercounter-zh_TW.po” code, where add this code? In “admin.inc.php” or “ald-twittercounter.php” file?
You need to translate the file and call the generated .po file as “twittercounter-zh_TW.po” instead of “zh_TW.po”
@Ajay, yes, I were call the generated .po file as “twittercounter-zh_TW.po” instead of “zh_TW.po”.
But, that still isn’t work,so I give up that, just use defaut file, that’s it.
And still say thank you for your plugins!
