Trying desperately and failing to add a twitter feed into the (preferrably) footer of my forum but I just can't seem to get it to work. Can I have a dumbed down explanation please? lol

I've got the twitter code but inserting it into my forum is proving a right pain! I need help!

It doesn't appear to be working? I followed as closely as possible too!

On your twitter widget - did you add the Id numbers where is says ADD YOUR ID NUMBERS HERE -  
On your widget you should see a set of ID numbers  data-widget-id=      just copy the set of numbers and then add those numbers
Where it says bold  ADD YOUR WIDGET ID NUMBERS HERE

<br /><center> <center><a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/twitterapi" data-widget-id="ADD YOUR WIDGET ID NUMBERS HERE" data-theme="light" data-link-color="#2682a9" data-related="twitterapi,twitter" data-chrome="nofooter noborders noheader noscrollbar transparent" data-aria-polite="assertive" data-tweet-limit="1" width="850" height="120" lang="EN"></a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script></center></center><br /></div></div></center><br />


You could try adding it headers or footers...

The forum URL link you posted alerted my avast antivirus saying it blocked malware 
 not sure if it a typo but  clicking on more info  it show http address as hxxp  on the 2nd screenshot

[thrillerchild]

As I said I definitely tried that as I have a very basic understanding of html. I'm not sure if it's the location of the advanced sheet page I placed the code or not

Aaaahhh... I see what I did with that link I spelt proboards wrong!

londonlionspride.proboards.com should work

Yes OK NOW I didn't get any warning from avast - weird how a typo can trigger the malware alert

Anyway's all seems clear:) Regrading the code did try it again adding the set of data id numbers number
From your twitter widget..

I'm having no problems with it -  my test board to view how it looks

Go twitter.com when logged into your account
Go settings - Click On Widgets - Then on your widget click on EDIT -
and you will see the source code of your twitter widget -
on that code you will see a line
that shows = data-widget-id="A SET OF NUMBERS WILL SHOW HERE"
Copy those set of numbers -
And then paste those numbers on the code below where it says ADD NUMBERS HERE

Be sure to remove the text ADD NUMBERS HERE then add your data id numbers between " "

<center><div class="container">
<div class="title-bar"><center><h2>Our Latest Tweet</h2></center></div>
<div class="content">
<br /><center> <center><a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/twitterapi" data-widget-id="ADD NUMBERS HERE" data-theme="light" data-link-color="#2682a9" data-related="twitterapi,twitter" data-chrome="nofooter noborders noheader noscrollbar transparent" data-aria-polite="assertive" data-tweet-limit="1" width="850" height="120" lang="EN"></a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script></center>
</center><br /></div></div></center><br />

Finally done it. For some reason the code had a spelling mistake. Can't believe I didn't spot it earlier. Thank you for all your help and patience!
