Twitter follower not working any more

Hi,

Twitter now blocks the call made by the plugin, so we now have to call the twitter API.

I made the following changes and it works :
file /wp-content/themes/author/includes/widgets/social.php (l. 39)
Remove :

$url = "http://twitter.com/users/show/".$twitter_user;
$response = @file_get_contents( $url );
$t_profile = new SimpleXMLElement ( $response );
$twitter_count = intval( $t_profile->followers_count );

Add

$response = twitter_api_get('users/show', ['screen_name' => $twitter_user] );
$twitter_count = (int) $response['followers_count'];
