  There is some sort of bug going on with the Twitter Timeline Widget. Whenever I try to edit the Width to 0 or leave the field blank and I hit save, it reverts it to 225 for some reason. This doesn’t happen when I change the Height. It’s messed up how the Twitter feed looks on my site as you can see here.

  Any idea why this is happening and a fix for it? This is the first time I’ve encountered the problem after setting up the Widget a few months ago. It was fine until I tried to change the dimensions yesterday.

  Hi quarterdisorder,

  The Twitter Timeline widget is working properly, and you should be able to change the width. You cannot, however, leave the width blank or set it to 0 since a width is necessary for the widget to function.

  It looks like you can set it to 1, but the minimum default width will be ~177px (from my own testing). Narrower than that and it’s going to look pretty strange.

  Why would you want to set the width to zero?
