Channel Widget for telegram

Description

What the plugin can do ?

As you know, Telegram has added the ability to display channel posts on the web using EMBED Code.

Based on this feature, I decided to build this plugin That allows you to display all your channel content in a beautiful widget
similar to the Telegram App easily, and by activating the post updater bot on your channel, you will automatically have
the most recent channel content in your site widget.

Note : You can display any channel’s post on your WordPress site when you enter last post link of a channel in the plugin’s Setting !
but if you need to Connect widget to your channel and automatically show all new posts of your channel on TGchannel widget ,
you should add @TGCH_BOT to your telegram channel as admin.
this bot will refresh widget posts when a new post published in telegram channel.

It works as described and very easy to configure Telegram connection. However, styling it is not easy - had to deactivate because couldn't make it fit into a sidebar.
