Customising Twitter Embedded Timeline

I am wondering to what extent I can customise the Embedded Timeline. I was reading the documentation but couldn't find all the answers - maybe I was looking at the wrong place.

What I am trying to achieve is - I want to show only a SINGLE tweet to start with and upon clicking Load More, I'd like to display rest of the tweets. Is it possible to do this?

When I am setting up the Embedded Timeline in the Widgets Configuration, I cannot see the Load More button in the Preview area. Am I doing something wrong?

With the Embedded Timeline widget you can only customise the following:

  • Theme
  • Link color
  • Width
  • Height
  • Chrome (Header/Footer/Scrollbar/Borders/Transparency)
  • Border color
  • Language
  • Tweet limit
  • Web Intent Related Users
  • ARIA politeness

So to show a single tweet - you'd need to set the tweet limit to 1 using the data-tweet-limit attribute e.g.

a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/twitterapi" data-widget-id="YOUR-WIDGET-ID-HERE" data-tweet-limit="1" lang="EN">Tweets by @twitterapi

You cannot achieve the Load More functionality you are referring to with this widget alone.
