    How are you placing the follow button into the post? The [twitter_follow screen_name="FilthyGamingMD"] shortcode is an explicit way to render a shortcode.

    The Twitter plugin for WordPress supports converting a profile URL into a follow button. As of June 2016 the same URL is available for conversion to an embedded profile timeline via oEmbed autodiscovery. A Twitter profile URL is a supported oEmbed URL pattern in WordPress 4.7. A future version of the plugin will remove creating a follow button based on URL matching.

    I really hope that creating a follow button is an option in the future version. This is definitely my preferred way.

    There are many contributors for my site gamecrawl.com, they would not know that they could use the twitter_follow shortcode to convert it to a follow button.

    Displaying a follow button for a profile URL in article text will not be returning. This URL is now converted to an embedded profile timeline.

    What are other ways you educate your writers about the capabilities available in the post editor? Standard shortcodes? The more visual browsing of Shortcode UI? Declared widget areas?

    Is a follow button included in your site in a standardized way such as author masthead where you would configure a follow button outside of article text?
