    Not sure what’s happened here. The HTML to trigger the button isn’t showing on your page.

    Are you using a widget or a shortcode? And, if a widget, are you saving after selecting the option you want? Which option is meant to be showing?

    In theory, if the JavaScript isn’t working, a basic text link should appear – so I’m surprised neither is currently happening.

    Hey!!
    I tried every option available! Right now the last one ‘Show button only’ is selected. And yes I definitely pressed the save button after each change. I am using a widget.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is what I see on screen:
    Show follow button?

    None
    Show name and number of followers
    Show name only
    Show followers only
    Show button only —- this option is currently selected

    I think I might have the answer.

    What type of widget is it? If it’s a search widget, it currently blocks showing the ‘follow’ button since it doesn’t know who to follow.

    I’ll see if I can find a solution.

    Otherwise, what you could do in the mean time is add a text widget that says:

    <div class='rtw_follow follow-button'><a href='https://twitter.com/tantrumjas' class='twitter-follow-button' data-show-count="false" data-show-screen-name="false" title='Follow @tantrumjas' data-lang='en'>Follow @tantrumjas</a></div>

    Hey!! You are spot on!! I am using search!! Thank you ??

    I will wait for a solution ?? This is not urgent!!

    Thank you so much for getting back to me personally!! Really happy that you like the music! ??

    p.s. I realised that I can’t put that line of code in the widget! Dumb ideas of mine – Sorry!!

    Can you put the line in a separate text widget immediately after the first widget?

    Alternatively, I’m going to test commenting out line 83 of the plug-in (which you can try if you want):

    //				$newargs['screen_name'] = '';

    You will then need to set the widget as a ‘user timeline’ widget – input the right account name and hit save – and then switch back to being a ‘search’ widget to get the result you want and hit save again.
