I don't see a Twitter Feed container. I see Welcome, Staff, Shoutbox, ADNews Updates, Affiliates, Credits, Recent Threads.

Where is the Twitter Feed in the SideBar that it should be above?

The ADNews Updates is the twitter feed. On the board, the Recent Threads container is at the bottom. I want it above the twitter feed

You're sure when you go into your left sidebar redux settings, you see the Recent Threads container moved to above the Twitter Feed? If so, you'll need to go to Brian's Sidebar Redux help thread and ask him what's up. If you dragged and dropped it to that position and it's not showing as such on the board, there is a problem. He'll be able to help. As you can see, mine isn't at the bottom. It's in the location where I dragged and dropped it to in my sidebar.

Yes, I do. I just checked. In my admin panel the recent threads container is above the twitter feed. It's weird that the board won't recognize it. I'll ask Brian what's up then. Thanks for your help.

Just to be sure, mackenzieh, you have given them both the same ID name and put that name in the ID position in both plugins? That's the only reason I can think of why it's not working. It's not recognizing the ID. You must have it in both places as I posted upthread.

If it is placed on both plugins, then yes, there is a problem and I'm sure Brian will get it sorted.

As ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥ has mentioned, it appears that in the 'Container ID' option, you have 'sidebarr-left', that will place the Recent Threads cell at the bottom of the Sidebar Redux cell.

If you have added a <div> elswhere in the Sidebar Redux plugin where you'd like the Recent Threads to be displayed, you need to give that <div> a unique ID, and then put that ID in the Container ID option in this plugin.

Hope all that makes sense.

In the recent tread plug in I gave the id of "sidebarr-left" then in the sidebar redux plugin, gave this for the id: sidebarr-left

& this for the code in the content box: <div id="recently_updated_threads"></div>
It's still at the bottom.

Here's what my board looks like: artistic-designs.proboards.com/



I have tried everything possible to get the recent threads to be displayed where I want it, but nothing is working. Recent Threads is still located at the bottom. I tried moving it in my admin panel and that still didn't work.

They must have the same name. The ID "sidebarr-left" you gave Todge's plugin only works to get it to the bottom of Brian's sidebar. In Todge's and Brian's do this, name the cell side-recent_threads or something else to your liking. But they must match.

Once they both have the same name, that will change the position to where you want it.

I fixed it. I think it was the ID that was the problem. Took me a while. Thanks for your help

No problem.  Glad it's sorted.

It was the only thing that made sense. The two IDs had to match so they could in essence "communicate" with one another.

"Sidebarr-left" did what it was suppose to. It located it to Brian's sidebar at the bottom. To move it, you had to make the change I posted.

In the Recent Threads settings where it asks "Would you like to display recently updated threads, or only recently CREATED threads?" Is there a way to have an option in the dropdown menu for "Both"?  Another question, the thread number and the board number have to line up and match for the threads to appear, right? 

I finally got it to work.

"All updated threads" includes created threads, so it does do both. I made sure by creating a thread to test it out ~ and it appeared in the sidebar. So the functionality to do both is already there.

I don't quite understand your second question. I've selected "Thread by user in board" and all updates from all boards from all users appear in the container.

In the About tab of the Recently Updated Threads plugin, it says: Recently Updated Threads Sidebar

Choose any boards you's like this to be displayed on. Select a board
. Is selecting boards required or is that just an option?

I left that blank. In the Recent Threads tab I selected "Thread by User in Board" and every updated thread from any of my boards is showing.

If you leave that option blank, the Recent Threads cell will only appear on the Home page, and the ancillary pages if you have selected that option.

If you'd like the Recently Updated Threads to appear on the board and category pages then you can select which boards you want it to appear, or select 'All' to have it displayed forum wide.
