Comments on: Make A Custom Twitter Widget Without A Plugin

Twitter basically changed the url for their feeds. Granted everything else was still working, I had assumed this might’ve been the case.

——
Instead of using the URL provided in the tutorial above: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=3

…You will want to use the URL I’m proving that follows:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=USERNAME&include_rts=true&count=3&callback=twitterCallback2

The “count” is now located in the midst of the url instead of at the end, along with the username.

Enjoy.

Just wanted to note that the 2nd line of code of Javascript no longer works. For anyone implementing this, please make sure you replace the 2nd line of code with the following:

Leland, you may want to update your post to reflect this.

Dear Leland,

Do know why the twitter feed app which you posted on your website is not functioning anymore. even on your own website is doesn’t work.

I hope to hear from you.

Most kind regards,

André van Wijngaarden

This method no longer works?

I see it’s also giving this website the same issue in your footer widget.

Any updates?

For some reason this has stopped working on my blog. Any ideas why?

I had to switch to a jquery widget for the rest of my site but that doesn’t work in wordpress

Does this still work? I only have the “twitter feed loading” bit coming up. If not, have you got another way?

I was using this method on a few client sites. It recently broke across the board. looks like it’s not working in the footer here (themelab.com) as well.

Ahhh! Anyone have a solution?
