New Twitter Timeline Widget won't work!

icelma86 · 2012-09-30T22:05:28.000Z

I have been having the same problem you have for days and still haven’t got an answer from Twitter! But I checked your link and I see you get the same link everyone is getting, but you also have the @twitterapi’s widget embedded and working.

Do you use an online web editor to build your website or do you use Dreamweaver? I don’t know coding so I use WIX.com. I thought I got this problem because of it, but if you also have this problem it has to be something else!

I wonder if we could have the old widget builder back while the new widget builder code gets sorted? For the most part, when I directly embed the new code into a website (Serendipity platform), all code but the link gets stripped out. When I use Dreamweaver to embed the code, I get a blank display.

twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate will not be valid until 04/09/2012 08:00 PM. The current time is 11/19/2011 05:57 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

I also wonder if there is, in the new twitterstream tool, a way to restrict the number of tweets on display and to remove the scrollbar? I also only have a width capacity (sidebar) of 280px.

I have the same problem, I tried in windows and displays all good, chrome, ie, safari, firefox, mac but especially on Chrome and Safari and Firefox does not display correctly the widget, only Opera, is a rare problem, or anyone has any idea how to fix this?

Does someone on Twitter actually want to answer the question. I think everyone would appreciate at least a ‘Yes, were fixing it and expect it to be ready …’

Hello all,

I too loved the old way to post tweets on my site. I was/am rather backward in that I used an RSS feed to display my tweets. Since you changed the rules my tweets don’t show anymore and like most others all I see is the link to ‘Tweets by @CRInvestor.’. I created a test page on my hosted server to figure out how to work with your code: http://www.therationalinvestor.ca/test_101312.php. Considering it is the only code on the page (and should be very simple), it should work and yet I get nothing…

Tweets by @CRInvestor

So what is a person to do here? I can’t use a page full of errors that doesn’t work. Do I abandon Twitter?? Is that what you want us to do??

Thanks for any help,

brian

Twitter widget - ‘Create New’ - ‘Something is technically wrong’

been like that since last night.

Found out from the Blogger help that I shouldn’t be using third party widgets to show tweets on my blog, but they were working OK last week. The hoops I’ve had to jump through to find this stuff out, the Help on these things is useless!

So frustrated with the Timeline widget for my website. Using wix, embed the twitter timeline html and all I get is a link to nowhere with “Tweets by 22element22”. Cannot, for the life of me, figure it out.

galaxinaAZ · 2012-10-18T22:47:15.000Z

I took the exact same steps. This should at least work using localhost, but it does not. It seems response from the developer has gone cold too. Seriously?

pcd2k · 2012-10-20T03:15:56.000Z

Apparently Twitter has changed its ‘timeline URL’ and therefore the Timeline URL’s we have in our widgets cause the plug in not to function correctly. As for a fix, I’m still searching!

mrheadrick · 2012-10-20T10:01:45.000Z

You need to add www.therationalinvestor.ca to the list of the Widget’s domains. Going to http://therationalinvestor.ca/test_101312.php without the “www” shows your twitter widget just fine.

Here’s how I solved this issue. This should work for a lot of the people here.

I discovered that there is a recent change in blogger that complicates matters even further. Blogger has started redirecting users to country specific domains. For example if I live in India I will be redirected to address.blogspot.in rather than address.blogspot.com. This means that you need to type in 'address.blogpspot.in" and “www.address.blogspot.in” as well into the URL field for the widget to appear on the redirected country specific site.

There are two solutions to this. One is to go through the list of countries in which blogger has implemented country specific redirects and add all those URLs to the list. This is quite tedious as all the URLs don’t exist yet. The widget won’t accept URLs that don’t exist.

The other solution is to copy and paste the code below between the < head> and < /head> tags in your blogger template.

The code will prevent the redirection to the country specific sites and force everyone to view the “.com” version of the blog.

I have the same problem trying to embed the html tweeter timeline widget in wix.
All I get is “tweets by @username”.
I tried every possible combination of domain name, with and without "www."
Qu’est ce que c’est que ce bordel?
Tweeter guys, is there and ETA for a fix?
I hope you won’t retire the old widget before the new one gets sorted !

Looked at your URL just now. I see a working timeline (tweets by twitterapi) and a non working timeline (tweets by mbierm).

theo_wdfb · 2012-10-27T17:19:11.000Z

Used the Twitter timeline widget myself today and it works just fine.

theo_wdfb · 2012-10-27T17:26:13.000Z

The link you provide here is for an image. You should insert the real URL to your website

cranstongivesin · 2012-10-27T18:24:28.000Z

Unfortunately not working for me either.

pcd2k · 2012-10-29T03:29:35.000Z

I suddenly saw the light and went to my twitter settings page, clicked on widgets, then clicked Create New Widget. Copied the Code and installed into my blog. The only question I have now is; Should I remove rational_ash’s code that I earlier installed, or not worry about it?
