twitter:creator

I’ve found the solution….

Go to the JM Twitter Card settings
The first section is General, in this section you’ll find this:
Add a field Twitter to profiles <<< select yes

in the user profiles it will add a box Twitter Card Creator where you can insert a twitter handle (without the @ symbol)

OR you if you already have twitter usernames in the user profiles you should replace the meta key jm_tc_twitter with your own meta key…

Hope this helps 🙂

if you already have a twitter field in your users profiles then you probably use a theme that has added them or you’re using a plugin that has added the field. The theme or the plugin used a meta key to define the twitter field (and store it in the database).

So say for example your theme uses this meta key to define the field: yourtheme_twitter.

Then in the JM twittercards plugin settings, you would replace, in the General settings section, jm_tc_twitter with yourtheme_twitter. that way the plugin should be able to automatically retrieve your authors twitternames…

Which plugin or theme are you using?

okay I had a quick look and downloaded the theme files. From what I can tell right now:
In the blogposts I can see there are author boxes which already display a link to twitter. So if you open your single.php file you will find

<div class="postauthor">
                        <h4><?php _e('About Author', 'mythemeshop'); ?></h4>
							<?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email'), '85' );  } ?>
                            <h5><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <a href="<?php echo  get_the_author_meta( 'user_url');?>">Website</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/<?php echo get_the_author_meta( 'twitter');?>">Twitter</a></h5>
							<p><?php the_author_meta('description') ?></p>
						</div>

To me it looks like the meta key is just the word ‘twitter’ as you can see in this line of code:
php echo get_the_author_meta( 'twitter');?>

yes that’s exactly what I mean. I quickly installed the theme on my test server and it does look like that’s the right meta key to use. So let me know if it works! If not I will have a closer look later 🙂

Fabulous! Glad I could help and that you got it working 🙂
