I tried this out in the past and will see if I can reactivate it.
I’ve got this working in the development version if you use version 2 of the JavaScript on the settings page.
You can only do it with a shortcode and need something like:
[rotatingtweets screen_name='mpntod' show_meta_pager=1]
If you want to customise the blob, the default is show_meta_pager_blob='<span>•</span>' but you can change it to something else.
To change the colour of the basic blob, you will need some CSS along the lines of:
.rtw_pager span {
color: inherit;
}
The CSS to change the color of the highlighted blob is along the lines of:
.rtw_pager .cycle-pager-active {
color: #DDD;
}
When I change the JavaScript to version 2, it stops sliding and changing tweets
Sounds like something else might be happening with your set-up – since nothing has changed with version 2 of the script.
What’s your theme and what other plug-ins do you have? Does something appear in the console saying what the problem might be?

Heres the URL:

I am using the theme Florence, and have 9 other plugins: BackupBuddy, TinyMCE widget, Contact Form 7, Cyclone Slider 2, Instagram Slider Edit, Menu Social Icons, Page Builder, Pinterest RSS Widget, and WP Popup Plugin
There are no said problems, I will keep it on version 2 for the next few hours.
Thanks!
It seems to be rotating just fine on version 2 currently.
Is it only if you add show_meta_pager=1 to the shortcode that things break?
I cleaned up my plugins and version 2 works, but the show_meta_pager=1 is not adding anything
I appear not to have uploaded the latest version! I will try to do that in the next couple of hours…
I had uploaded it, but it wasn’t showing earlier.
The latest version is at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rotatingtweets.zip – please let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

hmm okay i uploaded that new version but it still isn’t working… do you see anything wrong with this code?
[rotatingtweets screen_name="LisaNickerson" exclude_replies ='1' tweet_count='7' timeout='8000' rotation_type='scrollLeft' show_meta_pager=1 show_meta_pager_blob='<span>•</span>' show_meta_timestamp = '0' show_meta_via = '0' show_meta_screen_name = '0']
Shortcodes sometimes have problems if there are spaces in them…
Try:
[rotatingtweets screen_name="LisaNickerson" exclude_replies='1' tweet_count='7' timeout='8000' rotation_type='scrollLeft' show_meta_pager=1 show_meta_pager_blob='<span>•</span>' show_meta_timestamp='0' show_meta_via = '0' show_meta_screen_name = '0']

This now works with version 1 and version 2 of the JavaScript in the development version.
For the shortcode, try
[rotatingtweets screen_name="LisaNickerson" exclude_replies=1 tweet_count=7 timeout=8000 rotation_type='scrollLeft' show_meta_pager=1 show_meta_timestamp=0 show_meta_via=0 show_meta_screen_name=0]
