  How can I embed a Twitter hashtag on a page?
  I found instructions on how to embed individual tweets, but when I try to embed the hashtag feed, it displays the link instead of embedding the tweets.
  Can you help?

  Thank you,
  Darima

  Hi Darima,

  The hashtag feeds use a script tag to embed the feed into your site. Script tags are blocked at WordPress.com for security reasons as explained here:

  I apologize, but it doesn’t look like this is possible!

  Hi,

  Thank you for a quick response.
  It’ll be great if there was a hashtag feed widget in this case.

  Hi Darima,

  This is actually already possible. I apologize for not including this originally. When you try to create a Twitter timeline widget, you have the option to create the widget based on a search as shown here:

  

  If you enter a specific hashtag, you can generate the look you’re going for. That embed link will have a widget ID that can be entered in our Twitter Timeline Widget as explained here:

  Let me know if you have any questions about putting that in place!
