  Hello fellow wordpress users,

  I have just installed the twitter widget on my wordpress blog today. I put in my twitter username and the address as it said on the instructions, but when I go to the main page of my blog I see this error message where my tweets should be!!!!!!

  Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page.

  I don’t know what I am doing wrong, can you guys help me? Thanks.

  Hi there!

  Twitter may be experiencing a temporary issue. If not, this guide should be helpful:

  

  Make sure you are putting just your twitter username into the widget and not the full http://twitter.com URL.

  That would be the problem then. :) You either have to set it to public or not use the Twitter widget.
