Doesnt work for me, im using WorldStar theme by themzee.
i have filled in every field.
how does it not work? it just blank, not only that, if i put any other widget under “twitter profile widget” they all disapear. In other words if i put this widget at the top, it will automatically crash/hide every other widget under it.
i would still like to use it as it looks very cool. please help me if you can, i will change my rating from 1 start to 5 if it works.
