I’ve tried adding the twitter timeline plug-in, however I am having some trouble with this. The plug-in shows up in the plug-in manager, and below the code I have in template.

{exp:twitter_timeline}
<div class="tweet">
        {name}
</div>
{/exp:twitter_timeline}

I started with more settings however I slimmed it down to that to test, and still nothing. Also, as suggested, I enabled template debugging, and below is all the info I get for the problem:

(0.193244 / 9.46MB) Calling Class/Method: Twitter_timeline/
(0.193420 / 9.46MB) -> Class Called: Twitter_timeline
(0.193473 / 9.46MB) Using ‘public’ Twitter Timeline
(0.196277 / 9.46MB) Twitter Timeline Retrieved From Cache.
(0.204071 / 9.53MB) Twitter Timeline error: Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour.

Hi durg,

Have you added the screen_name parameter to it?

Try the default code from the docs as a test

{exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="EllisLab"}
<div class="tweet">
    <div class="date">{created_at format="%m-%d %g:%i"}</div>
    <div class="author">
        <div class="icon">
            {profile_image_url}
        </div>
        {name}
    </div>
    <div class="status">{text}</div>
</div>
{/exp:twitter_timeline}

It looks like you came up against a rate limit for the Twitter API which leads me to believe your change is not working as expected so make sure permissions on your system/expressionengine/cache folder is set to 777
