  I can’t get my widget to work, I’m having problems after copying and pasting my code to display a ‘list’ from Twitter. Everytime I click publish, it just gives me a link to the list rather than displaying it on the page.

  This is the code from Twitter that I copy and paste…
  Tweets from @TheGradian/crewe-alexandra-players
  <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js”;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,”script”,”twitter-wjs”);</script>

  This is the code that appears when I paste it… Someone told me it’s stripping the script out?
  Tweets from @TheGradian/crewe-alexandra-players
  <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js”;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,”script”,”twitter-wjs”);</script>

  I’d be grateful if anyone could help as it’s for my University dissertation!

  Cheers.

  Hi there – the code you’re trying to paste in includes JavaScript, which can’t be used on WordPress.com. More info here.

  You could try the Twitter widget instead:
