Twitter Widget Issue
-
-
I changed over a few days ago. Since then I can’t see my tweets on my Mac Pro using either Firefox, Safari or Chrome… all latest versions. All I see is the text “My Tweets”
I have asked some of my readers if they can see it working properly, about 50% can and the other 50% can only see “My Tweets” or blank space.

@simonpbarlow – before I posted this 3 of my friends checked and it only showed My Tweets. Once I put in the just the ID# only I saw the twitter widget pop in, and my friends saw it too.

thisgirlg33kischic – I’ve put only the ID# number in… some people can see the tweets, others, like myself can’t.
I can see the tweets if I look at the blog on my wife’s Macbook… but I can’t see them on my Mac Pro.

@simonpbarlow – Just to tell you, I can see your tweets perfectly. Have you refreshed the page? Hope you sort it out – I’m sure you will.

I think where you went wrong was to follow the instructions for embedding, where you have to use the entire shortcode. The instructions are on the same page as the widget instructions, and in fact comes first, so I understand how you could have got mixed up. -

It could be caused by a browser extension on your computer. It happened to me as well and it turned out Avast Antivirus’s browser extension was blocking it. Deactivate any browser extensions/add-ons and see if the widget becomes visible. Then add your extensions back one by one to find out which one is causing the problem. That could be the problem in the case of your readers who don’t see it as well.For the record, I can see it just fine.

Hi josephinecorcoran
Thanks, some people can see them some can’t.I’ve done a browser refresh and cleared browsing data on all three browsers I use. Also removed AdBlock to check that wasn’t causing any issues too.

Hi kokkieh
Don’t use Avast – on a mac. I have disabled all the browser add-in’s and extensions without much success.At the end of the day its annoying but not a show stopper.

Hi everyone, thanks for the feedback! I’m going to look at reorganizing the information on that support page to clarify which instructions are for the widget and which instructions are for embedding your Twitter timeline on a post or page. :)
Simon, do you have Javascript enabled in your browser? That’s a common reason why your Twitter timeline won’t show up on your computer when others are able to see it.

@kokkieh – It’s what I do! :) I just made those changes I mentioned, if you want to take a look: Twitter Timeline Widget
