    I received an email response and am posting it here in the event that someone else runs into similar issues and the exchange could be beneficial to or resolve the problem for someone else.

    Hi Christopher,
    Greetings

    This is regarding the support you requested here
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/plugin-not-working-185?replies=18#post-5730290

    Your theme CSS is conflicting with Twitter Widget CSS, so you can add these below lines to your theme style.css or custom CSS option in theme

    [code]
    .fetched_tweets.light .tweets_avatar .tweet_data a {
    color: #0084b4 !important;
    }

    ul.light li.tweets_avatar .times a, ul.light li.tweets_avatar .wdtf-screen-name a, ul.light li.tweets_avatar .stats a {
    color: #999999 !important;

    }
    .footer-widget li:before, .widget li:before
    ul.fetched_tweets li:before {

    border-left-color: #fff !important;
    }
    [/code]

    Let us know if you need any help and please provide your feedback/comments.

    Thanks & Regards
    Team Vivacity

    My response:

    Thank you for your help.

    I tried adding the code both in my theme style.css and in my theme’s custom CSS option. (Not at the same time.)

    Both provided the same result which is that the only difference is that I can now see when the tweet was tweeted, but it did not change or resolve not being able to see any links.

    Any further help would be appreciated.

    Thank you again,
    Chris

    Good afternoon,
    I have installed the plug-in and added the widget, but am running into a strange issue. For some reason on the Light Widget Theme, all the twitter handles are invisible/white and can’t be seen.
    I like the plug-in, but can’t seem to figure out where or what to change so these show up. With the Dark Theme (which isn’t my preference) there is color contrast and the Twitter names and links are visible.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Widgets uploaded and updated…

    Small error with there being two “About” links, but all things considered.

    Again, Joni…
    Thank you.

    It worked!!!
    Part of my confusion is understanding, or confusing, when and where I log into or use the host control panel, versus WordPress.com control panel.

    That was major.
    I am going to give the themes and widgets a try now.

    Joni, again, thank you. I was so overwhelmed and frustrated and I appreciate you taking the time to help me. Thank you, thank you.
    If I need any more help with the theme or widgets, I may call on you again.

    Joni,
    Thank you! That has been the first thing I have read or done that makes sense. And I was able to do. Now that I have uploaded it, where or in what folder should I put the xml file?

    The second post made sense to me. At least enough for me to take a try at, after I take care of the first half.

    Thank you kindly for your experience, time and patience.

    Ok. Maybe I should clarify. Something just occurred to me.
    When you go to my domain, there is now a WordPress blog there.
    I just want to switch it/upload my old one. Not sure if I was clear about that. Hoping to keep the theme and widgets, but at the VERY least, the posts.

    Can anyone help me with this:


    Here’s where I am stuck
    :

    When you return to the main MySQL Account Maintenance screen, cPanel will list information about the database you just created. You should see the username you just added to the database (with ALL PRIVILEGES), as well as a few sample Connection Strings for you to use in Perl or PHP scripts to connect to the database. The PHP code will have the following format:

    $dbh = mysql_connect(“hostname”, “username”, “<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die (“message”);
    mysql_select_db(“databasename”);

    I don;t see any Connection Strings.

    And I believe I am in the CP, because that’s what it says I am in, and has all the controls, when I log into my host.

    I do believe I am at the correct cpanel.
    When I log in to my host, that’s where I see the cpanel and all options. So how do I distinguish the cpanel I should be using?

    So frustrating. A coworker can’t understand the problem I am having. It was simple for her.

    Justhost’s CSR was adamant about me needing to contact WordPress to have them give me the MySQL files.

    So far I have the host telling me one thing, which is contradictory to what real people are telling me, and keep getting referred to WP tutorials that are both confusing and don;t address the problem I am having. So it’s not even a matter of following the directions, it’s determining which one’s to follow before even trying to decipher them before even trying to implement them.
    Awesome.

    Wasn’t going for Gene’s bait.

    Joni,
    Thank you for the help.

    I am so beyond frustrated right now. I know people are trying to help, but there’s bits and pieces of info and some of it applies and some doesn’t and it’s all written so I can’t even begin to understand what I have done or need to do.

    Uhm…. no Connection Strings.

    It would positively not be possible for this to be more maddening or frustrating.

    Again, thank you Whooami.
    I got the distinct impression the agent wasn’t from this country. That does not mean he is not familiar or versed with WordPress, but I got the impression something was getting lost in translation.

    I will give this a try tonight and report back the results.

    Whooami,
    Thank you for the response.

    You login to your wordpress.com blog and then navigate to Manage –> Export. From there, you can export your posts and whatnot.

    When I asked the CS Agent at my host company, he said it wasn’t an XML file I needed but the MySQL.

    I will try the installation, but looking it over, I get lost at where it says:

    Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.

    Secret key?
