Step 2: Adding Twitter social plugins to the website.
- From the navigation bar on the top select Plugins>Widget Twitter.
- On the upper right hand of the screen click on the Add New button.
2.3 Adding a Timeline Box
2.3.1 Choose a timeline source. Choose the timeline source from the provided 4 options.
User Timeline. You can choose to create a timeline based on public data of a specific user. The header of the timeline will display a follow button to follow the user, while the footer will allow sending a message to the user without leaving the page.
Favorites. You can create a timeline based on the favorite tweets of a specific user.
List. You can create a timeline based on a list of specific users. The header of the timeline will include the list name, its description, as well as the screen name of the user, who created the list.
Search. You can create a timeline based on a certain hashtag. The timeline will display the search results based on it. The hashtag will be displayed on the header of the timeline, while the footer will allow contributing to the list making a tweet with the hashtag. The list of the search results can be refined to the safe mode, avoiding the display of certain results.
2.3.2 Title. Specify a title for the plugin for identifying the plugin in the back-end.
2.3.3 Published. Choose whether to publish the plugin or not.

2.3.7 Tweet Limit. Specify the number of tweets to be displayed with the timeline. This option will remove the sidebar and cannot be used with defined height.
