How do I connect my twitter account to the last tweets box ? I tried to replace the twitter ID with my own ID but it didn’t work. Thank you

Hi, please do the steps below;

Shortcode:

[latest_tweets count="" id=""]

count=”1″ … Default 1.

id=”388393979672150017″ … HOW TO CREATE A VALID ID TO USE:

– Go to http://www.twitter.com and sign in as normal, go to your settings page.
– Go to “Widgets” on the left hand side.
– Create a new widget for “user timeline”.
– Feel free to check “exclude replies” if you don’t want replies in results.
– Now go back to settings page, and then go back to widgets page, you should see the widget you just created. Click edit.
– Now look at the URL in your web browser, you will see a long number like this: 388393979672150017
– Copy it and paste to the id field.

Example:

[latest_tweets id="388393979672150017"]

Thank you so much, I think you should but this in the documentation to make it easier for every one to know how they should connect their twitter. Thanks again

You are welcome.

Where does the shortcode get added? I also am unable to display my tweets.

Hi, add the shortcode to your content.

Thanks

But how does that work in the footer widget?

@emily_summey

you can only add it to page content, there is no footer widget location in this theme.
