Jetpack Twitter legacy widget and Twitter block widget

    The legacy Jetpack Twitter widget doesn’t scroll tweets like it used to before block widgets were added. It just shows

      My Tweets

    as a clickable link in black typeface. I have to click this link to go to my Twitter account. My readers cannot scroll through my Tweets on my homepage.

    I have searched for answers for this problem and haven’t found any. What do I do to solve this problem?

    And I cannot find a Twitter Block widget. Is there one?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello @sharenmcarthurgmailcom,

    The legacy widget is not available anymore, unless:

    – You already have it installed on your site, in which case it remains available and active on your site. I can see the Twitter widget in your footer that allows scrolling tweets.
    – You use the Classic Widgets plugin to disable the block-based widget editor and go back to old widgets.

    Instead of that legacy widget, you should now be able to use the Core Twitter block.

    Hope that answers your question!

    Hi there,

    It has been more than one week since we have heard from you, so I’m marking this topic as resolved.

    But if you have any further questions or need some more help, you’re welcome to reply here or open another thread.

    I do remember typing the questions below. I must have sent the reply elsewhere in the forum or into the universe…Or I may not have hit submit…

    In my reply to the “universe,” I stated that I don’t want to embed a single tweet URL like it says in Twitter Embed, which is where I was sent when I clicked your Core Twitter Block link. I wanted to know where in the Twitter Embed are the directions to show scrolling tweets similar to what I now have with Legacy Twitter widget. So, in other words, I want all of my tweet to scroll. I really can’t figure that out in the directions for Twitter Embed.

    Thanks for getting back with me, and thanks for helping me to understand.

    I have discovered new problems with my Twitter legacy feed on my mobile website.

    My Twitter feed shows up on my mobile website as: My Tweets.

    When I click My Tweets, I get this error @493822617250328576 in bold typeface. Underneath this long string of numbers is the same long string of numbers in very light typeface.

    Then underneath that is: Something went wrong (in bold typeface). Try again (in light typeface).

    What would greatly help, also, is someone explaining to me how I can get the new Twitter feed. As I have stated several times in previous support requests, the information I found in Twitter Embed does not tell me how to make a scrolling Twitter feed for my website.

    Thank you for fixing my Twitter feed.
