    Hello, jmlapam. First of all, thank you for recently updating the plugin. I also wanted to request that you remove the twitter:domain option from the plugin for the next update. There’s a few reasons why.

    According to Twitter’s Card Validator tool, twitter:domain isn’t only not required, but it’s a restricted field.

    “RESTRICTED – twitter:domain will be automatically generated from your card’s URL.”

    Also, the plugin is using the following, which is incorrect:

    $output .= ‘<meta name=”twitter:domain” content=”‘ . get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ). ‘”/>’.”\n”;

    It should be spitting out the domain (ex. @google.com), not the blog name.

    Ultimately, twitter:domain is simply not needed in this plugin.

    Thank you,
    Kevin

    I see what you’re thinking “if you do not use it, lose it”.
    I guess it could be removed but it’s a nice way to display the “view on” part.

    Yes, that’s essentially what this comes down to. It’s simply not needed in the code and just doesn’t get used by Twitter anyway. ??
