Twitter Card Embed Options in WordPress are wider from manually embedding, PHP manipulation to Twitter Card Plugin for WordPress.

I do not know whether the email confirmation is special for me or it is normal process (somewhat like Google Verified Authorship). But definitely I can show you the way how to open up the way to get Twitter Card thing for your website. Unless you actually have Twitter Card, it is obvious that second part of this guide on Twitter Card Embed Options in WordPress is useless; at least for you for now. From searching it appears it is also kind of manual checking dependent but definitely not as tight as getting that Google Verified Authorship email.

Now, there are two ways to embed. First is my age old per page cheat set. Go to my Twitter profile (you can go to anyone’s who has such an approved account if you have some anger on me), you will see that clicking the more link there can be two options (I have controlled it, so publicly there is only one option), like embedding a Tweet, I can grab the code from the particular tweet by clicking more option and copy pasting the code. This time, this is not a screenshot, it is fully interactive :
