I have read the page about using Rotating tweets but I have to set up a twitter account for that

If I just want to display someone elses tweets I found this page

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-to-display-someones-twitter-tweets

<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>

<script>

new TWTR.Widget({

version: 2,

type: 'profile',

rpp: 4,

interval: 30000,

width: 250,

height: 300,

theme: {

shell: {

background: '#333333',

color: '#ffffff'

},

tweets: {

background: '#000000',

color: '#ffffff',

links: '#4aed05'

}

},

features: {

scrollbar: false,

loop: false,

live: false,

behavior: 'all'

}

}).render().setUser('twitteruser').start();

</script>

I failed to add it to a text widget 🙁

It used to work with Twitter API 1.0. These codes no longer work with Twitter API 1.1. You need to create a twitter application at http://dev.twitter.com and get Twitter API credentials to fetch tweets. I suggest you to use Twiget plugin.

Thanks Prasanna.

I just tried Twiget. It authenticates but circles around without fetching any tweets.

However Rotating Tweets widget does now work 🙂

Its a mystery to me!

But what I wanted to do was display other users tweets not mine.

I can put one account name instead of mine into the rotating tweet widget and it works!

I was hoping that if it was watching my twitter account it would display all the tweets from anyone I was following.

Is that possible? It might be a twitter issue
