  Hello, I used to have the Twitter Jetpack widget on my website and it worked, but for some reason it is no longer working. I am trying to follow the directions to get it working again (from this site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-timeline-widget/#twitter-username); however, the pictures are telling me to go to the “Widget Settings” where I enter in the Widget ID. I don’t see this view of the settings anywhere, and there is also no place for me to enter in this ID. It is only allowing me to enter in a “Twitter Username,” which doesn’t seem to be the same thing and is not allowing the widget to show up on my site. I’ve found how to get the ID itself from Twitter, but I can’t find where to put that ID in WordPress. Do you know where I could find this view of the settings?

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

  There are two WordPress.com widgets dealing with Twitter accounts. The Twitter Widget , which bears the note

  Please switch to the ‘Twitter Timeline’ widget. This widget will be going away in the future and the new widget allows for more customization.

  asks for a Username, the Twitter Timeline Widget asks for a Widget ID.

  Thanks for the help and the quick reply. This link went to another account that for some reason I have (not my regular website). But then I realized that the Jetpack itself wasn’t updated, and that did the trick! Thanks again!
