Unfortunately that’s something that Twitter embeds. We do however have some limited control over it and here are the parts that might help:
- We can tell it not to show the follower count
- We can tell it not to show the username
- We can give a suggested width. This is not strictly enforced, but Twitter *tries* to make the button fit in that width
You can use any or all of these. Here is some sample code that you can drop into a plugin or your theme’s functions.php file that shows how to do all three:
function bd_hide_follower_count( $attributes ) {
if ( ! empty( $attributes['class'] ) && 'twitter-follow-button' == $attributes['class'] )
$attributes['data-show-count'] = 'false';
//$attributes['data-show-screen-name'] = 'false';
$attributes['data-width'] = '138px';
return $attributes;
}
add_filter( 'widget_twitter_link_attributes', 'bd_hide_follower_count' );
Basically all links that Twitter Widget Pro creates are built using a function and have filters set up so you can adjust them. In this case we are only changing the follow button, and we’re adding a couple additional attributes (see https://dev.twitter.com/docs/follow-button to understand exactly what they do).
