Let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you may want to do is install the SEO plugin by <strong>Yoast<\/strong> because it will give you the power to add Twitter cards without installing an additional plugin. Skip other settings and go straight to the Social tab and give \u201c<strong><label for=\"twitter\">Add Twitter card meta data<\/label><\/strong>\u201d a checkmark. Don\u2019t save anything until you have filled out your Twitter account username right below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/yoast-twitter-card.png\" alt=\"yoast-twitter-card\" class=\"wp-image-209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/yoast-twitter-card.png 945w, https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/yoast-twitter-card-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/wpbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/yoast-twitter-card-768x276.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now moving on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cards-dev.twitter.com\/validator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Twitter Card Validator<\/a> page, that is where you can request approval from Twitter. Simply paste a random post URL and click on \u201cPreview card\u201d. On the right side, you will see what your Twitter cards will look like, and back to the left-hand side, there is a form need to be complete in order for the Twitter team to review your request. Make sure to give them the correct information such as website address, your email, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the easiest method on earth and it couldn\u2019t get any easier. According to my experience, it could take around 2-3 days or longer for Twitter cards to work for WordPress sites, so just be patient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are plenty of ways to marketing the Twitter account and its tweets, this means using social media analytic tools, spread the words around, and also adding Twitter Cards to your WordPress blog.
