 * Hello,
    I am in the process of editing a wordpress site I did not create. There
   is a Twitter follow button located on the home page but I cant seem to find the
   code anywhere in the theme. I would liked to replace the button with a different
   one, Please help!

 * its usually a plugin so it should be in the plugin folder. or best way to search
   for any part of code is to use firebug in firefox or chrome.

   folder and it was not there…

 * Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Thirteen theme with **
   all** plugins deactivated?

   function.php file it must or usually there depending on theme structure.

 * Hi Melissa
    It’s a ‘widget’, but it’s a twitter widget, not a WordPress widget.
 * In your footer.php/sidebar.php there will be some code that looks like this:
 *     ```
       <a href="https://twitter.com/EvergreenPandO" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false">Follow @EvergreenPandO</a>
       <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script>
       ```
   
 * The JavaScript renders the normal `<a>` anchor link into a Twitter Follow button
   once the page has finished loading.
 * Just remove or edit that as appropriate.

 * I found the code thank you! Should I just remove and put another code in its 
   place?

 * Okay I tried to download a Twitter Widget (mini Feed) and it is not showing up
   on the page. I think the way the Theme is coded the sidebar is not showing up
   for some reason when I add things to it.

 * `get_sidebar();`
