  My twitter timeline widget is not diplaying my tweets. I’ve done everything that’s been pointed out in the configuration, but sofar I’ve not been able to get it working. Do I need to install something else to get it working?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I dragged the “Twitter Timeline Widget” to the primary widget area. I went on Twitter to grab the widget ID (not sure if that is safe to post publically) and clicked save.
  Oh, and I changed the height from 400 px to 600 px.

  I didn’t see any code I had to put in. Where do I need to put in the code and what code should it be?

  The necessary JavaScript isn’t loading with the Jetpack Twitter timeline widget. If I add the following to my page the widget starts to work:

  <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?’http’:’https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+”://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js”;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,”script”,”twitter-wjs”);</script>

  Follow these instructions http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-timeline-widget/ You need a special shortcode for WordPress.com.

  I followed those instructions but my problem isn’t with the shortcode in a post but with the twitter timeline widget from jetpack.

  Your site is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. frouk.net Is Hosted by Tom Denkers trading as Denkers-ICT. You must get support on the WordPress>ORG forums. The two are completely separate.

  May I suggest looking for an answer to your question here first? http://jetpack.me/support/ If you do not find one then the Jetpack forum is at WordPress.org http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.org, click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post there.

  Hi Guys,

  I’ve also managed to enter the shortcode but my timeline is not updating as and when I post new tweets.
  Details here to compare:

  Any ideas?

  Thanks,
