Twitter Button
Twitter Button provides X/Twitter actions such as sharing, following, mentioning, or using a hashtag. The editor retains Twitter terminology for these controls.
Add and configure Twitter Button
- Click Add, choose Twitter Button, and place it in the container.
- Choose Content > Button > Type.
- Configure the fields shown for that action, such as Follow User, Mention User, Hashtag, or Text to Tweet.
- Review URL to Tweet, Custom URL, count, and screen-name options where applicable.
- Set Design > Size and Spacing.
- Save your changes.
This element has no children; use its own controls.
Controls
Responsive varies by breakpoint; Hover has a hover value; Shared applies across both. Linked controls have their own reference. In conditions, = means “is” and ≠ means “is not.”

Troubleshooting
The wrong account or hashtag is used
Check Type and the matching user or hashtag field.
A provider option is ignored
Check X's current widget behavior. The provider renders the interface and may not honor every historical option.
