  Hi there

  I’m afraid the sidebar in your theme is only 150px wide, and the twitter widget needs 180px to display correctly.

  I’ve included links to a couple other themes below that have sidebars wide enough for the widget, but have a similar feel to your current theme.

  Sorry I don’t have better news.

  Thanks for getting back to me and thanks for the advice. I will just take the feed off as I want to stick with the theme for now.

  Would you know how to just add the Twitter icon and twitter handle to encourage followers, rather than the widget feed instead?

  Thank you,
  Zoe

  Sure! The instructions below walk you through how to add a follow button using a text widget.

  Let me know if you have any questions about that!
