Widget Frozen

Hello cwerling,
follow the below steps-
1) Open the file ‘twitter-tweets_shortcode.php’ in plugin folder.
2) On line no. 59, replace overflow:hidden with overflow: scroll
3) Save the file.
For reference you can see here
Thanks

Ah! Very good! I tried the above, but it didn’t work. I figured out that it was because you were having me modify the shortcode file, while I was using the actual “Twitter Tweets” widget itself instead of putting the Shortcode in the “Text” widget. I switched to using the “Text” widget with the Shortcode in it, and the scrolling worked. Thank you!

Two things though:

1. Now there is an extra vertical and now also horizontal scroll bar around the widget in the sidebar. Please see my homepage at https://www.ChrisWerling.com again. The extra scroll bars serve no purpose as they don’t actually scroll, and look bad. Is there a setting that I can change by modifying a PlugIn file or elsewhere to get rid of these extra scroll bars?

2. Can I make the same change you suggested above (overflow:scroll) to another PlugIn file in order to be able to use the “Twitter Tweets” widget itself instead of “Text” with a shortcode? I tried changing the twitter-tweets.php file as it had the same “overflow:hidden” element in it, which I changed to “overflow:scroll”. I saved the file and tried again, but it still didn’t scroll.

Thank you!
Chris

Hello cwerling,
the extra scroll is coming because of the overflow:scroll;
Revert the changes you made, it will resolve your problem. Make overflow:hidden;
Thanks.

Hi, and thanks for the response.

However, reverting the changes will “freeze” the box once again though, so that the tweets can only be viewed, but not scrolled nor clicked on, correct? That was the initial problem I had, which was happily corrected by the overflow:scroll change.

I really like the way it works now. The only problem is the extra scrollbars – both vertical and horizontal. I figured this was probably because of a sizing problem, that could be fixed.

Hello cwerling,
revert the changes and as you mentioned you are using the plugin in ‘text’ widegt. Instead of this you can use the “Twiter Tweets” widget.
Using this way will resolve your problem…and let us know the results.
Thanks.

Yes, this did work. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! I appreciate your plugin and your help.
