Remove Retweets and Replies

    Hi,

    The site I’m working on is currently using a custom Twitter class that makes use of the kebo_twitter_get_tweets function to return an object of tweets with a foreach loop. Everything works correctly, but I need to find a way to restrict retweets and replies from showing up in the returned feed.

    Is there a certain way I could stop retweets and replies from showing up in the kebo_twitter_get_tweets function altogether?

    Hi elrezzo,

    Unfortunately, the kebo_twitter_get_tweets() function is not that clever, infact it essentially just returns the entire object of Tweets as you have discovered.

    I have a rewrite in the works which will allow more sensible customisation but until that point you could use the following code to filter it yourself:

    /*
 * Skip ReTweets and Conversations
 */
if ( ! empty( $tweet->retweeted_status ) || ( ! empty( $tweet->in_reply_to_screen_name ) || ! empty( $tweet->in_reply_to_user_id_str ) || ! empty( $tweet->in_reply_to_status_id_str ) ) ) {
    continue;
}
