How to embed a Twitter post in a WordPress post

You may want to reference a Twitter post in your content.

Can I use images from people’s social media accounts?

You shouldn’t republish an image from another social media account, without having taken the following steps:

  • You must ask permission from the image creator / owner.
  • Or have evidence that you have made every effort to locate the image creator / owner.
  • Be conscious the person who posted it may not have permission to use, or allow use by others. You can use a screenshot / embed the whole post.

Instead of republishing an image from a social media post, embedding the whole post is a safer way to reference the content. Showing the original context in which it was posted and by whom.
