Hi,
Can you post an example of a Tweet with a linked image? I’m not sure I know what you’re referring to – since images aren’t normally linked.
Do you mean Twitter cards? They do display linked images – but are currently not supported.
Martin
Thanks for the reply Martin.
I’m using the plugin inside of a page using:
<?php echo do_shortcode("[rotatingtweets screen_name='reddeemergencia' show_media ='1' profile_image_size = 'normal' url ='reddeemergencia' include_rts = '1' tweet_count ='6' rtw_display_order='media,info,main,meta' timeout='6000' speed ='300' links_in_new_window = '1' carousel_horizontal = '1' carousel_count ='1' carousel_responsive = '1' show_tco_link = '1' show_meta_via ='0' links_in_new_window='1' show_meta_prev_next ='1' prev = '«' next = '»']"); ?>
I have included a default image where tweetts are without them. I used CSS to do that.
Obviously the default css image will not being linked.
You can see it in action in reddeemergencia.cl
Best regards.
That’s an amazing job of CSS!
What do you want the image to link to? It’s not defined in the Tweet generally…
Thank you!!
It’s an honor to receive such a comment of a true developer.
I can post the code if you are interested.
Some people publish photos in their tweets.
These images are linked to that specific tweet.
I would like that when you click on these images, the link opens in a new tab too, as occur with the linked texts on the plugin.
It’s that possible?
Best regards.
What Twitter currently does is link images to a larger version of the same image – which opens as a pop-up on the same page.
It should be possible to link the images to a pop-up version of the image or to a different page that only shows the image file. Is that what you have in mind?
There are also things called Twitter cards – which also show images – and which link to another page. Unfortunately, Twitter doesn’t make that information available and so it wouldn’t be easy to support that currently.
Thanks for the explanation Martin.
What I see is, when a media is posted, and I click on it, the page is redirected to these Twitter account showing a Twitter card popup.
It would be great if that page opens on a new tab, or better if the twitter card opens in the same page, as a popup.
Here is a link with an image explaining what it happens today.

Best regards and thanks for all your time.
Aha! I see what you mean.
I’ve produced a development version that does this. You can download it here.
Dear Martin:
Works like a charm!!!
I am very grateful, God bless you.
