Twitter has released a new version of its public timeline widget to improve performance and safety. These changes have influenced the way you can insert the widget to your Webnode site. From now on, you cannot insert the widget from Webnode’s CMS editor and the already inserted widget is no longer functional. But don’t despair, follow this tutorial and enjoy the new advantages!
