As far as Twitch WordPress plugins go, there’s not a whole lot available on the market. StreamWeasels alone have three Twitch Plugins for WordPress in the wordpress.org repository, but there are a few more notable plugins worth mentioning. We searched high and low, did the testing, and can now present to you the five best WordPress plugins for Twitch. Check out what we found below.
- Twitch Wall PRO Branded
- Streamshare for Twitch
- Stream Status for Twitch
- Twitch Sub Private Pages

Twitch Wall PRO Branded
In at number one (in a totally coincidental and non-biased way) is StreamWeasels’ very own Twitch Wall PRO Branded. Use this plugin to embed multiple branded Twitch Walls on your website. The custom admin screen sets you up in minutes, and you get real-time previews of your wall before launch.

Twitch Status
As before, this Twitch Status plugin lets your audience know you’re online with a live icon or ‘offline’ text. It can also embed a Twitch widget with a stream thumbnail and your live status. Since this Twitch WordPress plugin hasn’t been tested or reviewed for a while, we’re unsure if it’s still active. OK, so maybe this one isn’t epic either. But since there aren’t a ton of Twitch WordPress plugins out there, we wanted to give you all the options.
Twitch Status Features:
- Displays the live status of multiple channels
- Stream widget with thumbnail, viewer count, title and game playing
- Shortcodes allow you to place widgets anywhere in your theme
