Step 1: Access Your Twitter Account
Before you can embed a Twitter feed, ensure you have access to the Twitter account from which you want to display tweets.
Step 2: Create a Twitter Widget
Twitter provides a simple way to create widgets for embedding feeds. Go to the Twitter Publish website and select “Widgets.”
Step 3: Choose the Widget Type
Select the type of widget you want to create. For a Twitter feed, choose “Profile.”
Step 4: Configure Widget Settings
Customize your Twitter feed widget by specifying the Twitter username and design settings. You can choose a light or dark theme and customize the link color to match your site’s style.
Step 5: Create the Widget
Once you’re satisfied with your widget’s settings, click the “Create widget” button.
Step 6: Copy the Embed Code
Twitter will generate an embed code for your widget. Copy this code to your clipboard.
Step 7: Access Your Squarespace Dashboard
Log in to your Squarespace account and access the dashboard of the website where you want to embed the Twitter feed.
Step 8: Edit the Page
Navigate to the specific page on your Squarespace site where you want to embed the Twitter feed. Click on the section where you’d like the feed to appear.
Step 9: Add a Code Block
In the section where you want to insert the Twitter feed, add a “Code” block.
Step 10: Paste the Embed Code
In the Code block, paste the Twitter widget’s embed code that you copied earlier. Ensure that the code is pasted correctly.
Step 11: Save and Preview
Save your changes and preview the page to ensure the Twitter feed displays correctly. You can adjust the placement and appearance as needed.
Step 12: Publish
Once you’re satisfied with how the Twitter feed looks on your Squarespace site, publish the page to make it live.
Alternative Option: Use Social Media Integration
Squarespace offers built-in social media integrations, including Twitter. You can connect your Twitter account to your Squarespace site, and Squarespace will automatically display your Twitter feed in designated sections.
