      Hello,

      Well, sorry, but as far as I know, using Puppeteer on DreamHost’s shared hosting is not possible, if I know correctly, they allow only NodeJS installation, but not also Puppeteer installation. I might be wrong on this, because of this I suggest you contact DreamHost support and confirm this.

      If they are not allowing installation of Puppeteer, I can suggest Digital Ocean VPS as an alternative, they have 6$/month plans which work great with WordPress and also support Puppeteer installation, as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRUDcSOe724

      If you sign up using this link, you will also get 200$ bonus as a sign-up gift, which will allow to test their services for a while, for free: https://bit.ly/digitalocean-hosting-phantomjs

      I hope this info helps.

      Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.

      Thank you for your prompt responde, Szabi. I am afraid I will could not use your plugin because I cant afford even for  6$/month for my project 🙁

      I am also trying to scrapping Twitter Trends:
      https://twitter.com/explore/tabs/trending

      Does it also needs Puppeteer?

      Yes, unfortunately Twitter also requires a headless browser for correct scraping.

      As an alternative for Twitter scraping, I can suggest you check the Twitomatic plugin, it uses the official Twitter API for importing, it does not need a headless browser, please check it here: https://1.envato.market/twitomatic

      Regards.
