Critical Update
As of update 1.5 the plugin has been completely rewritten and is based on Twitters new oAuth API 1.1.
Recently the plugin quite working, but this was due to Twitter no longer allowing any unsecured calls to their API. Now, in order to display your tweets on your website you have to setup a personal twitter application using Twitters new oAuth API 1.1. You can login using your twitter account credentials here dev.twitter.com. You will be required to create the applications and the plugin will need the following to work correctly;
- Consumer Key
- Consumer Secret
- Access Token
- Token Secret
You can use the same Authorization strings for several widgets and multiple website.
If you have any problems with getting the new plugin to work please check that CURL and OPENSSL extensions are turned on in your PHP environment.

Once you have installed the twitter widget you will need to click on appearance then click on widgets and you will find the twitter widget there. You can then simply drag the twitter widget over and drop it into the location you want it to show on your website. Then click the little arrow and the twitter widget will have a drop down menu which will allow you to change and add options you wish to display.
