Twitterはその機能をより広いワールド・ワイド・ウェブに拡張している。すべては公式ツイートボタンから始まり、Twitter Anywhere Platform 、そして最近では新しい公式ツイッターフォローボタンが登場した。ツイッターのフォローボタンとは一体何なのか？Twitterフォローボタンとスマートフォローボタンは何が違うのでしょうか？ご心配なく。この投稿では、Twitterフォローボタンとは何か、WordPressサイトに追加する方法について説明します。
Twitterフォローボタンとは？
Twitterフォローボタンは、ユーザーがどのサイトからでも簡単にあなたのTwitterアカウント（または任意のTwitterアカウント）をフォローできるようにする小さなウィジェットです。フォローボタンは公式ツイートボタンと同じ実装モデルを使用しており、統合はとても簡単です。下の画像の左上にフォローボタンのデモがあります。フォローボタンをクリックすると、ユーザーの詳細情報が表示されるウィンドウが開きます。
下のスマートフォローボタンとどう違うのか気になりますよね？
スマートフォローボタンはTwitter Anywhereとの統合が必須です。また、フォロワー数の表示やカスタマイザーもできません。一方、Twitterフォローボタンはカウントを表示でき、統合もとても簡単です。以下のライブ例をご覧ください（フォローをクリックするのを忘れないでください）：
WordPressでTwitter公式フォローボタンを追加する方法
フォローボタンのページでコードをジェネレータで生成することができます。または、以下のコードをコピーしてください：
[cbk1］
追伸：ユーザー名は本当に〜してもよいですか？
公式ツイートボタンを使用している場合は、スクリプトを2回貼り付ける必要はありません。コードは次のようになります：
[cbk2］
このコードをWordPressテーマの好きな場所に貼り付けることができる。ほとんどの人は、このようなコードをサイドバー.phpファイルに貼り付けるだろう。しかし、テーマファイルを編集するのが面倒な場合は、WordPressテーマのウィジェットを利用することもできる。すべての優れたテーマには、ウィジェット対応のサイドバーが付属している。したがって、あなたがしなければならないことはすべて、外観 ” ウィジェットタブに移動することです。そして、適切なサイドバーにテキスト・ウィジェットを追加する。 最後に、上記のコードを貼り付ければ完了です。下のスクリーンショットをご覧ください：
プラグインを追加する必要はありません。
高度なカスタマイズ
このセクションは、サイトの配色などに一致するようにこのボタンをさらにカスタマイズしたいデザイナーや開発者のためのものです。Twitterでは、ボタンの色、テキストの色、リンクの色、言語、ウィジェット、プラグインの配置をカスタマイズすることができます。
私たちが使用しているJavaScriptバージョンで利用可能な変数：
- data-show-count（真または偽）
- data-button(青または灰色)
- data-text-color（16進コード）
- data-link-color（16進コード）
- data-lang (en, fr, de, es) – 2文字のISO-639-1言語コードを使用します。
- data-width – (300px)
- data-align – (右)
aコードで指定する場合は、次のようになります：

Hi,
I tried to increase the width with the “data-width=300px” option but its not working.
Pj Germain says
SWEET! I didn’t wanna install yet another plug-in and this worked like a champ! I know it’s an old post, but hey, you nailed it!!!
Thanks a bunch!
Verity says
Hi there, thanks for the info. I’ve added this on to my HTML page but the link is coming up just with text (ie my twitter name) and not the official Twitter button. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Hi
what if i have multiple authors on my blog and i want individual authors twitter follow button to be displayed for the posts they have submitted ?
Chris Q says
This is great! Thanks.
I’ve built my blog from scratch with zero previous knowledge, and resources like yours have proved invaluable along the way.
I have a question though: is there anyway to hide or remove the counter? It’s half obscured by an image so thought I’d just get rid. I tried deleting what I thought was the obvious piece of code but it’s still there.
Nadia says
I got the button to post just fine and it links and everything but I don’t know how to change the location its in. I posted it in my header but I want the button to show up right next to my FB icon and right now its being half covered up by another picture in the header. Suggestions??
Nadia says
Never mind, GOT IT!!! Woot woot
Nadia says
For anyone else having this problem-
I had posted the link provided on this page into my header section. To edit the location, you need to go to the style section. I used this code:
.twitter-follow-button{
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:60px;
right:-170px;
width:32px;
height:32px;
Judy Hochberg says
I installed it in a text widget, and it looks fine on my blog, but I don’t understand how it works. When a user clicks on it, what happens? How does WordPress or Twitter know who the would-be subscriber is?
When I try clicking on it I get a pop-up message that says something like “You are now subscribed to @my_twitter_handle.” The message is the same whether or not I’m logged into the website. So how is my identity known?

nice post for WP-beginners thanks..!!!!!!
Pritam Patil says
You are the real wp rockstart man !! its working ..and lets hope i get more followers
Gemma says
Hi,
I followed the instructions and it did work–the button appears and when I tested it, it links to my twitter. However, the widget also shows the html code underneath the follow button on my blog. Is there any way to hide the code and just have the button?
Thanks
Editorial Staff says
Sounds like a copy/paste error because the widget shouldn’t show any html code.

Okay, unfortunately that didn’t work. Any other place I can go for help?
Editorial Staff says
Which part didn’t work? What error does it show?

The instructions above didn’t help at all–but fortunately I found another way through the plug-ins (after some *hours* I’ll never get back). You have to remember that this is called “WPBeginner”–emphasis on the “Beginner,” and telling someone to post code willy-nilly and not laying out *all* the steps: do this first, then click on that, which will show you this, etc. (some of us “beginners” are complete digital diplodoci, you know), is not helpful.
In any case, I got it done–but *not* by following the instructions above.
Editorial Staff says
Hi David,
The reason why we say paste it anywhere in your theme is because we do not know where you want to add it. It could be in the header, sidebar, footer, after each post etc. Those are all different locations. Furthermore, we did mention that you can go to Appearance » Widgets and add it in the text widget. You can put the text widget in the appropriate widget areas (supported by your theme). Some have widget areas in the footer, but most have it in the sidebar.

“The reason why we say paste it anywhere in your theme is because we do not know where you want to add it. It could be in the header, sidebar, footer, after each post etc. Those are all different locations.”
My point was that the directions could have said: “If you want to put it in your sidebar, go *here,* click on *here,* which will show you *this,* and then you paste the text *there.* If you want to have it appear at the bottom of your post, go *here,* click on *here,* which will show you *this,* etc.” I’ve still got the code, which did not make the button appear, pasted *somewhere* on my dashboard page–but the goddesses only know where it is at the moment.
Again–some of us *are* beginners here–and digital diplodoci–and beginners sometimes need a gentle, kind, *guiding* hand to get where we want to go, n’est–ce pas?
Editorial Staff says
Hello David,
While we understand exactly what you are saying, it is harder than it sounds. Each WordPress theme is coded differently (general theme, child themes based on various frameworks etc). On top of that, we can’t possibly cover every single spot a human brain can think of displaying the button. This is the reason why we covered the most basic spot (Appearance > Widgets). Depending on the theme, you will have widgets for your the sidebar, header, footer, etc.
We have a detailed overview of widgets in our free videos here: http://videos.wpbeginner.com/

I tried it and links to my twitter, but as regular text…would that be because I’m on a wordpress.com blog?
Alyssa says
I have the same problem. It links it to my twitter but does not show the button. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Gorn says
@wpbeginner Actually, neither. It’s a WordPress faciltiiy hosted by CIX at blog.cix.co.uk.
I have now got it to work, but by using the “old-style” twitter buttons at http://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons – couldn’t either the “script” form or the shortcode form to work. Any ideas why that is?
wpbeginner says
@Gorn Are you doing this on WordPress.com blog or a self-hosted blog?
Gorn says
Thanks for this. It doesn’t work for me, though. When I save the Text widget, the script element gets stripped out, and I end up with just a text link in my sidebar. Any ideas?
TheNerdyNurse says
nice addition. Feel my site loads too slow as it is. Worried that will be just one more thing to slow it down. I really need to figure out what it causing the drag in loading.
jasonfox_me says
Thanks for the tip. i took the code from Twitter and it it looked good (bad me for not testing) the other day my friend tells me he tried to follow me and got user does not exist. For some reason it left my old handle in the code….just a heads up.

@likewpcom which in most cases would not be necessary.

Another way to add twitter button is to install a WordPress plugin like http://goo.gl/EHyex
AlbertAlbs says
Yes. I did already. Got too many followers after adding that twitter follow button.
