Hi, hoping someone can help. I am trying to paste in our Twitter feed widget HTML into a standard page and have followed the instructions I found but it doesnt appear to be showing up as a feed, just a link to Twitter? any ideas please?

I can add it in as a skyscraper to the side but didnt really want it there as you can't posistion it.

Thanks

i.e. <![CDATA[[ ]] "Character data" is added which can be confusing.

This doesn't seem to stop the Twitter script from running though.

Absolutely right Hmmm... but something else had fundamentally altered in the process, which had caused the issue (most likely inherent in the format in which it was stored- Word, perhaps?). A clean copy resolved the problem though.

Should be fixed for you now.

I think the code got pasted in with some odd "formatting" attached, as when I replaced it with a clean copy it worked instantly (as it should!)

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I'm guessing your post is regarding an InstantPro website.

There have been issues with this script in the past but all seems fine at the moment.

Here's my Twitter page.
I've also just tried putting the Twitter widget script onto a test page and it's still working fine.

Are you looking at a live/saved page?
The InstantPro editor view will only show the link you mention - you need to view the page normally in a browser to see the actual Twitter stream.
