Tweets, for example, can grab attention, and using high-profile sites like Twitter can add a smidgen of credibility to your blog. But linking back to the original tweet can be frustrating for users. So, why not just embed the original tweets into your WordPress site, so the user doesn’t have to leave your page? That’s precisely what we’re showing you how to do today.

How to Embed Tweets Using the WordPress Block Editor

Embedding a tweet with the WordPress block editor is easy. Here’s how:

Step 1: Select Your Tweet

First, open Twitter and find the tweet that you’d like to embed. Then, click on it.

The tweet should appear on the screen. Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.

Step 3: Open a Tweet Block

Navigate to WordPress and open the post where you want to embed the tweet. Then, select the Tweet block from the list of blocks.

Next, paste the URL in the Tweet Block. Then click the Embed button.

You should see your selected tweet on your WordPress post. When you do, that means your tweet has been embedded successfully and is ready to publish on your website.

How to Embed Tweets Using the WordPress Classic Editor

If you are still using the old-school WordPress Classic editor, the process is a bit different. However, it’s just as easy as using the Block Editor.

Step 1: Select Your Tweet

First, go to Twitter and find the tweet that you’d like to embed. Click on it.

Step 2: Click Embed Tweet on the Tweet Menu

Click on the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of your tweet. It will open the Tweet menu, where you can find the Embed Tweet option.

Step 3: Copy the Embed Code

Clicking on the Embed Tweet option will lead you to a page where Twitter generates a specific Embed code for the Tweet. Using this code, you can post the tweet on your WordPress classic editor.

Step 4: Paste the Code to Embed Your Tweet

Now, paste the Embed Code anywhere on your WordPress classic editor text field to Embed the Tweet.

While using the Classic editor, you’ll need to switch to the visual editor or run preview to see the tweet you’ve embedded. Opening a new window will allow you to see a preview of how everything will look once it’s published.
