 * You committed an updated that removed your widget from about 100+ projects that
   I have hosted for clients. I received an email that updates were rolling from
   Twitter to their website and couldn’t figure it out. The changing the names of
   your plugin widget coupled with 100+ projects set to automatically update caused
   a blank widget message to show on tons of sites. Can you fix this issue on your
   end?

 * Hi,
 * Plugin is re-written to support the new Twitter logic. You can display your Twitter
   timeline by using the Twitter username now.
 * Thanks

 * i like many others fully appreciate the updates to your plugin, but the renaming
   the widget I don’t think was needed. That renaming removed the widget from many
   projects that all use automatic updates for plugins, themes, and WP core. Automated
   updates are becoming more and more common. I’ve already gone through about 50
   projects so far and put the new widget in place at a cost to me, which is my 
   time. Clients don’t fully understand the underpinnings as it were of WordPress
   and can’t grasp why someone would just change up things. So I can’t just invoice
   them for that time to go in and replace the widget. I really don’t understand
   why such a rogue update was put out when you have so many active installs that
   are going to be effected. The update functions great and thank you for it, but
   I would think you could’ve updated the API and the layout of the widget without
   creating a new one.

 * Settings > Easy Twitter Feed Widget fails to display a field to add our Twitter
   username. We are required to add the widget to the sidebar, and re-configure.
   I must concur that having an update blow-out all previous settings is a pain 
   for just one website. What a task it must be tending to the same adjustment for
   multiple sites!

 * Hi [@tonybearblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonybearblog/),
 * You have no need to go to `Settings > Easy Twitter Feed Widget Settings` screen
   to enter your twitter username.
 * Please go to `Appearance > Widgets`.
    Drag `Twitter Timeline (Easy Twitter Feed
   Widget)` widget to the sidebar. Enter your `Twitter Username` Your are done.
 * Thanks

 * This is a huge problem for me. You HAVE to consider backwards compatibility. 
   All widgets on every site that have been created with this plugin are now gone.
   This is unreasonable.
