Notice that the Twitter widget feed on your website broke? Twitter deprecated the old API and you need a new widget. Here’s how to fix it.<\/p>\n

Twitter Widget Fix: Most Sites<\/h2>\n

\"Example<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to your Twitter account.<\/li>\n
  2. Visit the Widgets<\/a> section under the account Settings<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the Create New<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
  4. Under Configuration<\/strong> tailor the widget to your preferred look. Do not worry that you cannot define the width at this time. I recommend unchecking the “Auto-expand photos” and leaving the “Exclude replies” box checked. I do not believe that users want to see your replies, and the expanded photos will take up most of the feed. Feel free to experiment with these settings.<\/li>\n
  5. Click the Create Widget<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
  6. Copy the text located below the Preview<\/strong> on the right. For us, the text looks like the following:
    \n
    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrandBuilderCo\" data-widget-id=\"347058359255588866\">Tweets by @BrandBuilderCo<\/a>
    \n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+\":\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");<\/script>
