  I have added the Twitter widget and followed the instructions, creating the widget ID from Twitter, but no matter how many times I try it, my tweets do not appear. The widget appears, but with no tweets. What am I doing wrong?

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

  Hello there!

  Could you please give me your Widget ID? I don’t see it in your widget currently. Please make sure you’ve followed these instructions to attain your ID:

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  Aha, that’s what I was doing wrong! I was using the code generated by Twitter (which it says copy and paste!) instead of the number in the url. I didn’t read the instructions properly, terrible! Thanks for your help, it’s working now.

  Hey there,

  That is a really common error, so no worries at all!
  In fact, I’m quite glad it was such an easy adjustment :)

  Wishing you the best!
