    Updated Twitter API has killed our feed

    I knew it was coming, and had experimented with different Twitter code to try to head off the inevitable. I didn't get very far.

    Anyway on June 11th the changes meant the feed on our home page - embedded in a fragment - stopped working.

    This is what you have to use for the new widget code:
    Code:
    <a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt="true" href="https://twitter.com/MyTwitterUsernamee" data-widget-id="series of digits">Tweets by @snorestore</a>
<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>
    But even with !!< >!! the timeline won't display. All you get is "Tweets by @snorestore"

    Please can someone help?

    The [0] outputs in HTML as <Actinic:Variable Name = '0'/> because of a SellerDeck bug, add spaces around the 0 see: here. Also widgets.js gets output with acatalog/ because of a bug, write the .js as %2Ejs see: here.

      is it the code that isn't working at all, or embedding it in a fragment that's causing the trouble?

      if I use the widget thingy https://twitter.com/settings/widgets and then just paste that into an index.html it seems to work fine

        It's putting it into a fragment, then. I will try Louise's suggested changes and see how far I get. Thanks, both.

            I struggled with this too. I had to put the code below in the header of the page.

            Code:
            <!-- Twitter code <head> section START -->
<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%2Ejs";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
</script>
<!-- Twitter code <head> section END -->
            1. I had to put a space either side of the 0, [ 0 ]
            2. Also changed '.js' to %2Ejs


            Then put the other code in a fragment, worked well.

            Thanks
