A WordPress plugin that allows a user to conditionally load content based on whether or not a Twitch streamer is broadcasting live.

About This Plugin

This plugin has a very simple task: to check Twitch to see if a streamer is broadcasting live (not hosting, actual broadcasting). Depending on whether or not the streamer is online, different parts of content can be displayed via shortcodes.

Shortcode Usage

[twitch_live user='username'] ... [/twitch_live]

This will show content if the streamer is live.

[twitch_offline user='username'] ... [/twitch_offline]

This will show content if the streamer is NOT live.

Client ID + Secret Key Update

Twitch now requires a Client ID AND Secret ID to be sent with all JSON requests through OAuth Authentication. That means everyone that tries to use this plugin needs to go to https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps to generate a new 'Application'. Once you've done that and entered the keys (client and secret) into the plugin's options page, all of the requests will finally begin to work again.

Todo

  • Re-Do of template tag with more options.
  • Stream Details Available in Shortcodes or Template Tags (Title, Game, Viewers, Etc).
  • Default Content with designs (Cards, Banners, etc) to provide easier use of the plugin.
