Error with twitter count / how do I add Twitter add to my home page
-
Hello,
I wanted to add Twitter add to my home page and sub-pages
I went to my “About” page and clicked edit.
I inserted [twitter-follow screen_name='namawinelake' show_count='yes' text_color='00ccff']
at the top
I viewed the About page and it just says “Following namawinelake”. There is no count of Twitter followers – about 1,200
Also how do I add Twitter connect and number of followers to my home page?
Many thanks

I can see the follow button on your About page and I see “1,201 followers” when I check right now. Can you please try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache?
-
Thank you!
Clearing all internet settings (history, cookies etc) and then reloading the page worked and I can now see my followers.
Can you help with the second part of my question: how do you add twitter follow, count to my home page?
Thanks again

You should be able to add the shortcode in the exact same way. For example, you could put it in a text widget in the sidebar.

Again, thank you.
I have added the widget Twitter which includes a follow function. I am very happy with that.
One last thing, is there any way to add number of Twitter followers to the widget sidebar.
Thanks again!

Sorry about that, I found that the Twitter widget follow button option as well as the shortcode option currently don’t display the count in the sidebar.

Okay, I’ve found that the button and count really should display in the sidebar, but I can’t get it to work! I’m looking for more info.

Thanks very much for taking the time to investigate putting the count on the sidebar widget. WIll keep my eyes peeled for any updates.
