How to Install Easy Embed for Twitch TV Plugin, Manually
This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.
Upload the plugin files to the wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
Use the Settings->Easy Embed for Twitch TV screen to configure the plugin
To customize the feed from Twitch TV, fill either the ‘Game’ field or the ‘Channel’ field. If you fill both, the channel field will be used.
To add the widget to your site, you can use the shortcode [getTwitchRail] within any page or post. Advanced WordPress users could also add the function call directly to their theme to use the widget outside of a page or post (more on this below)
Make sure and select ‘published’ in the ‘Are you ready to publish’ field at the bottom. The widget will not show up on the live site unless this field is set to ‘published’. Switching to ‘unpublished’ is a quick way to remove the widget from your site without de-activating it.
Shortcode Usage
Simply use the following shortcode anywhere in a post or page within WordPress:
[getTwitchRail]
Advanced Usage
For those of you who know your way around a WordPress theme, it’s possible to embed the Twitch TV Rail widget directly within your theme without using the shortcode. This will allow you to put the widget anywhere in your theme, even outside of a post or a page.
To do so, use the following PHP code anywhere in your theme.
<?php if (function_exists(getTwitchOutput())) getTwitchOutput(); ?>
