Hi there. We have been using the widget for 4 years. It is one of my favorite widgets so far and on all our 12 websites. However I noticed with the recent Firefox update 76.0.1 (64 bit) that it is not showing up anymore. The widget works fine with Chrome. Please have a look thanks.

There are no options to adjust anything in the feed: text size, etc. using CSS doesn’t work. Text size is very small. Basic, not much else.

The padding of this widget is defined in a CSS-file outside of WP and set to 10px. I want to be able to change this. Therefor only 4* in stead of 5*. It’s been 4 weeks since I have asked for some suggestions on this matter. No answer. Because of this issue (and because design matters!) I need to look for another widget. Bummer.

The idea is very good. The plugin is easy to use. However it doesn’t really display your timeline on the blog, it only displays a link so users can find you on Twitter. And it’s opened in the same tab.
