    I embedded my personal twitter account on the side bar. It can show the number of posts but I can’t scroll up and down. Please tell me how to do it. Thank you.

    Hello @lindayeung,

    Hmm, I’m having the same issue on a test site where the Twitter widget strips the height attribute – which would create the vertical scrollbars.

    This may be a bug. I’m tagging a mod so they can take a look. Someone will get back to you shortly. :)

    Hi there,

    To have a scroll bar appear and older tweets load automatically you need to set a height for the widget, in pixels, and leave the number of tweets blank.

    If you specify a number of tweets to display, only the most recent tweets up to that number will be visible, and you won’t see the option to scroll down to earlier tweets. In that case setting a height won’t make any difference – specifying a number of tweets overrides the height setting.

    Thanks @kokkieh!

    I didn’t realize the # of tweets would override the height setting, but that makes sense. Good to know!
