Embed a Twitter profile, not a timeline

Question

I have been looking for a solution for embedding Twitter user profiles, but have come up empty so far. What I'm looking for is something similar to how Twitter pops up a nice profile overview when you click a username on twitter.com. I took a screencap of my profile so you can see below what I'm talking about.

I don't have any need for the user timeline or anything like that, just the user info, the cover photo background would be nice as well as a link to follow the person. I took a look through Twitters embed code builder but there didn't seem to be anything that really fit the bill. I am using Wordpress so a plugin solution could be viable, but if it's just a code embed that is fine as well.

Answer 1

Here is an implementation for the button, this require some work to add the profile picture and the background picture
