Why has Essential Grid Plugin decided to discontinue Twitter feed integration?
The decision to discontinue Twitter feed integration in Essential Grid Plugin comes in light of Twitter’s new API pricing structure, which significantly increases the costs for users wishing to integrate Twitter feeds into their websites.
Twitter has delineated its API access into several tiers, including a basic level costing $100 per month for limited access, and an enterprise level starting at $42,000 per month.
Given these changes, users themselves would need to purchase at least a basic tier subscription directly from Twitter to maintain feed integration, imposing a substantial and possibly unsustainable financial burden on our user base.
Where can I find more information or get support?
A: For further information and support, please visit our Help Center. Our dedicated team is available to answer your questions, assist with navigating these changes, and help you leverage the wide array of features Essential Grid Plugin offers to keep your websites engaging and current.
We understand the value that Twitter feed integration has provided to our users and did not make this decision lightly. Our top priority remains to offer high-quality, accessible solutions for our community.
