Does this support multiple feeds on different pages?

I have a site with different brands. Each brand has a page. Each brand has a twitter account. I want to show the feed on each brand page, specific to that brand’s twitter account.

Is this possible with this plugin? I know another plugin that supports this by creating multiple widgets and supplying the @username on the widget settings but it doesn’t support pulling the images from tweets. I see in the screenshots this plugin pulls images but also that there is a settings page for the plugin that you specify the @username and this doesn’t seem to support multiple feeds like I need.

It seems like you are trying to include a Twitter embedded user timeline inside a WordPress theme component (such as a widget) with the Twitter @username populated based on its rendering context (site, term meta, etc). This is not a feature supported by the official Twitter plugin for WordPress.

Assuming you are a developer making your own plugin, I’ll explain how you could make it work below.

A Twitter embedded user timeline currently requires a widget ID storing a default @username and some widget preferences. You would create a new widget from the main Twitter account of your site or network, which would display its latest Tweets by default.
https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/new/user

The generated markup looks like this:
```
<a class="twitter-timeline"
  data-widget-id="{widget_id}"
  href="https://twitter.com/{screen_name}"
  data-screen-name="{screen_name}">
Tweets by @{screen_name}
</a>
```
Your widget_id would be the same across your site or network. You would pass the screen_name component based on the display context, overriding the Twitter @username stored with the widget ID. You might pull that screen_name value from term meta for a category or general site options if the Twitter account varies by site.

If you’re using the official Twitter plugin for WordPress there’s an opportunity to store a Twitter @username for a site as well as a WordPress user. The site’s Twitter @username is stored in the twitter_site_attribution option; a WordPress user’s Twitter username is stored in the twitter user meta value.
