This is how you create a simple Twitter sidebar widget that shows your last few tweets (I hate that word) from your Twitter account in three simple steps. It was actually really simple. I was initially looking for a plugin, but figured out I didn’t need one.
Step 1:
Sign in and create a new widget https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/new.
Note: Manage your Twitter widgets via https://twitter.com/settings/widgets.
Change any settings you’d like (I changed the theme from Light to Dark) and click Create widget.
Step 2:
Copy the code.
Step 3:
Browse to your WordPress widgets section and add a Text box to your Primary Sidebar, or anywhere you’d like to display the Twitter Timeline, and paste the Twitter widget code there.
Click save and you should have a nice simple Twitter Timeline right in your website to help drive social traffic to your Twitter page.
