Hmm, an empty timeline. That's weird

RunSpired · 2012-09-15T19:24:20.000Z

I get the same thing although not for my account. I was configuring the widget for a friend’s website, their twitter handle is @TRILLCITYKINGS

Many other twitter handles work just fine, just not theirs.

@ChristianRep the width is set to expand to fill the html container it is in. If you want to control with width just wrap the widget in another html element with a controlled width.

To add to this discussion, @ifbyphonestatus has been wanting to use the widget on their website for customers. We’ve waited for a week to see if the bugs were fixed but I still get “Hmm…, an empty timeline” If you could let us know if it’s being looked at and when we could get it fixed.

This type of error was a bug. It should be fixed for all now.

I had the same problem until I changed the page to .php and now it works. I think it should of been made clear in the instructions.

I am STILL not able to get the timelines to work. I have to say I’m rather puzzled. Here’s my example:

I’d greatly appreciate any guidance. It can’t be that there is still a bug in the twitter widgets after all this time so I’m sure it must be something on my end.

Has anyone figured this out. I’m trying to put this widget on a friends site using search word that has been tweeted multiple times but we get the same message in the configure search widget utility:

“Hmm, an empty timeline. That’s weird.”

For example, I can insert my name and all kinds of stuff pops up. So why is it not working for the word we are looking for that is out there? Help need!

Hmm, an empty timeline. That’s weird.

In twitter account: click on the gear in at top right
Edit profile -> select “Widgets” (on left)
on Widgets page select “Create new”

Under Options: Username, uncheck “No replies”

the Hmm… went away for me

(I sent out two test tweets to myself before I did this which replaced the "Hmmm… under “Tweets” once I unchecked. There are also discussions on how to create a timeline in Twitter… google it

CPMcontractsltd · 2013-01-16T21:47:04.000Z

@wordflow - took your advice and it worked what I deselected “No replies”, Thanks!!

RioMetroAlerts · 2013-01-17T17:06:22.000Z

Is there any chance Twitter can change the empty timeline message string to something a little less “weird” and a little more classy? Like - “No Tweets posted at this time.” or similar.

while I try to make a widget from a hastag search (#twitterpoeet, in language: nl ) the timeline stays empty untillI I uncheck the safe-mode! Why is that? But unchecking leads not to a widget that shows that timeline in my website.
If I make en widget from the timeline of the user @Rederijkersverb then such a problem doesn’t occur

twbuis · 2013-03-09T11:45:04.000Z

#twitterpoeet gives’ Hmm an emty timeline thats weird’
We want to make a twitter contest on that hashtag so being able to embed it is important.
Can safemode be set-off and how?

twbuis · 2013-03-03T09:16:34.000Z

no also words not giving typewarnings, so they must be in a dictionary give an empty timeline
for example #gedichtenmaker

zanadew4MJ · 2013-03-03T13:05:33.000Z

Why would I want an empty timeline?

zanadew4MJ · 2013-03-03T13:38:18.000Z

I really don’t know what I’m doing with all this–will probably screw up something or everything—Its kinda over my head at this point—So ‘new’ to Twitteer !!!

zanadew4MJ · 2013-03-03T13:54:07.000Z

This is all really over my head as a newbee to Twitter—maybe I shouldn’t mess around with anything right now !!! ???

Woodies21 · 2013-03-21T14:29:00.000Z

CodyParnell1 · 2013-07-17T23:24:47.000Z

Its still happening to me

G3z · 2015-10-09T10:15:24.016Z

this is still happening to me with hashtag #followtim

andypiper · 2015-10-09T11:24:42.928Z

G3z:

hashtag #followtim

The most recent Tweet with that hashtag appears to have been September 18, which is beyond the 7 day window for search used by the widget.
