Hi. Can you tell me how to add a “nofollow” attribute to the link? I tried adding it in line 104 but it cause a fatal error! Maybe I put it in the wrong place? Great plugin – Thanks

Not an error, I suppose. I just wanted to make the indicator on the home page be more informative.

I’d Like there to be no title when I display tweets on my page. I have left the text boxes blank, but “Twitter Updates” still shows up. How do I remove this? Also, How do I change the size/style/color of the fonts? Thanks!

When placed in the sidebar this widget does not display tweets.

Instead it shows the error message:
Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wickett-twitter-widget/

I’ve had this issue since day one of using this plugin, everything is up to date.

I’ve looked through the code and found where this is being controlled but can find no way to make the links appear on the same line as normal text. It’s also creating a break immediately after the @ for twitter users (obviously as they’re names are also links)

The website is here:

Any advice is much appreciated. I dont want to change plugins as I like this in all other aspects

Oddly, it works fine on my local server, then gives me this error from the live server. Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page.

I’ve refreshed many times, and I’ve deactivated and re-activated, shut down other plugins.

Hello,

Is there a way to call this widget via shortcode in posts? Otherwise love this plugin, super easy and works great. Thanks.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wickett-twitter-widget/

For some reason there is no space in between tweets, they are coming up right on top of each other on the right side of my site. I don’t see any settings or options to fix this and getting frustrated. Can be found here:

https://www.stupidlittleblog.com/wp/

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

i installed this plugin and did the widgets etc, it does not work.

Hello,

I want to use this plugin. But how can i change the plugin background color?

Thx

Now that the Wicket Twitter Widget is included with the Jetpack will this plugin continue to be updated. There was a new Jetpack just released with Twitter Widget updates but I don’t see anything here.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wickett-twitter-widget/

Shows Error… no tweets.

This plugin has been extremely broken for a long time. I believe it’s not anything to do with WordPress, and more to do with the plugin.

The caching mechanism doesn’t work. The plugin is broken if you need to use a caching plugin to not bombard twitter with API calls.

Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page.

Can I manually call this in my sidebar.php?

Downloaded Jetpack and am using this twitter widget with comicpress 2.9.x. In the sidebar, it lists my tweets but not the ones earlier today. There’s no bullet to indicate a new tweet, just one long paragraph.

the site is– https://quantumgumbo.com

The site is still a work in progress, want to tweak a few things and upload a few finished comics.

I got this error message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Wickett_Twitter_Widget in (location) /wp-content/plugins/wickett-twitter-widget.php on line 273

Hi, I just installed this plugin and set it to show the 5 most recent tweets. However, instead it’s just showing one tweet and splitting it into 5 lines. The line breaks come before links, and because of the way my theme is set up, the links have bullets appearing in front of them.

I’ve tried looking at the code for the plugin but can’t find the problem. Can someone please help? My site is https://sapac.org/blog. Here’s the code:

I want to remove the link from the title and create a separate custom text link below the tweets instead. Is this possible?

It’s a shame private Twitter accounts aren’t supported.

Hi all this is really nice and working full functional plugin for wordpress as I have made it work at my website

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wickett-twitter-widget/

I have installed and activated this plugin, but in Appearance + Available Widgets the widget does not appear…

Any thoughts?

Best Regards,

Martin

The following error shows up now I have upgraded to 3.0.3 – the correct username etc is in place, so not sure why it’s doing it.

“Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page.”

Any help would be greatly appreciated ??

As in topic. Started within the last day or so. Did something possibly change at twitter?
