 * I created the twitter app for my account and was able to get the consumer key
   and token information. I plugged that into the twidget settings. I selected the
   twitter-api-php library option. I tried the oAuth one as well with same results.
   I then plugged in the following code into the footer.php file where I want to
   the twitter to show up:
 * <img class=”alignleft” src=”{$profile_image}”>
    [@{$user_twitter_name}](https://www.twitter.com/{$user_twitter_name})
 * {$user_description}
    <ul class=”pages”> {$tweets_start}
    - {$tweet_text}
      {$tweet_time}
    - {$tweets_end}
    - But I’m not getting anything back. Am I missing domething here? Do I need 
      some more code? New to php so I apologize if I’m missing osmething easy.
    - Thanks!

 * I did plug in the following and it did work, but it brought back the account 
   description that I don’t want to show. I only want to show the name and last 
   tweet.
 * <?php show_recent_tweets(); ?>

 * Figured it out. I customized the code in the Twidget Settings box. I was doing
   that in the footer.php file. Thanks.

 * If outside a post, page, you must use the php function to show the data – show_recent_tweets()
   which you’ve already pointed out.
 * Cheers.
