Twitter button, link inactive
-
A WordPress Support post (http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter-follow-button/) says that:
I can simply copy and paste this short-code [twitter-follow screen_name='wordpressdotcom'] into a text widget, then it will ‘Display a Follow Button and a link to your Twitter page.’
Of course, I changed the word ‘wordpressdotcom’ with my twitter name ‘danielberhane’
Yet, as you can see on my blog(http://danielberhane.wordpress.com/) the Twitter button and link is inactive or not being properly displayed.
Am I missing something here?
Thanx.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
I see the follow button at the bottom of your Twitter feed. Have you tried clearing your cache?
-
I put the text widget on the left sidebar below the recent posts list.
My twitter name is ‘daniel_berhane’ – so I am not wrong on that regard.

No.
I am referring to the the widget on the right side.
The left column is not displayed in single posts.
And I don’t want to put the Tweet feed on the right side.So, somebody please take a look at the right side column twitter button and tell me why it is inactive?
Thanx. -
What widget did you use for that? It looks like a poorly-configured text widget.
Also, you’ll want to reduce the amount of information on your blog page. It took forever to load for me, and I’m on a really excellent connection.

I put this code – [twitter-follow screen_name='daniel_berhane'] (without the brackets) in the text widget.
That is what suggested by this post – http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter-follow-button/But It doesn’t work. I couldn’t figure it out why.
********With regard to the Homepage of my blog, I don’t know how to reduce it.
On the Settings > Reading > Blog page and Syndication feed: I set both at 10.
But that didn’t change anything on the front page except that it reduced the number of posts on the author page(which is giving me another headache) -
I don’t use shortcodes much, but the couple I have used have had brackets. Try reinserting the brackets and see if that works.

I had the same trouble, copied exactly (with the modification for my Twitter Handle) and got a dead link. I asked on Twitter, and three of the four people who checked had the same issue.
