OMG. I do not know how to embed the twitter timeline on a site

I'm getting realy old I think (almost 60).
I'm trying to embed the tweets from a company. The twitter name of that company is @mkbbbv.
I'm new to twitter (yes I know, I'm the only one in the world not using twitter) and a created an account just a couple of days ago.
Now I loged-in at twitter, search for tweets from that company, click 'more' and 'embed'.
I copied the code on a page and ....... Nothing. Only a link to the time-line on twitter. So I tryed to use 'Tweetmgr' module. I added the account name of the company, added the tag to a page and ....... Nothing. Trying to get it to work for some days now but I think I do mis something (Twitter Knowlegde). Please I need your advise and help.
How can I embed tweet from that company on their website.
TIA

You need a widget:

Another more complicated option giving a much more flexible layout is the module CGTweet which I use here in the footer:

I added this Twitter widget to the page where I want the twitter timelime :
Code: Select all
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/MKBBbv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by MKBBbv</a> <__script__ async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></__script>
Bij the only thing I see is a link "Tweets by MKBBbv"
I also tryed TweetMgr.
I added a source
But still, no tweets.
Can this be a JQuery problem ?
Please help

TweetMgr doesn't use jQuery, are you logged in to Twitter in the modules Admin page?

I think I'm loged-in. In my Twitter account I find this under the Application section :
When I open the Tweetmgr console and go to settings the Login button is always there althought I loged in before :
EDIT: image removed
Should I do some extra things on twitter maybe ?

Sorry Rolf. It's not working.
I added the script from twitter
Code: Select all
<__script__ async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></__script>
at the end of the template and I had the tweets on the site using the twiiter widget but it was impossible to style the tweet.
So I think I realy have to use tweetmgr but tweetmgr isn't showing any tweet on the website.
What do I need to do to get this to work. Please help ??

YES, I did it.
The problem was that I tryed to login via the Tweetmgr to Twitter using the Internet Explorer. After I opend Chrome, opend Tweetmgr, Logd in and everything workt.
Thanks all of you (Thanks Rolf) for the help.

I don't know much about Twitter and the authentication but I think I should mention that in your screenshot above you disclosed (at least a large part) of the 'secrets' to login to Twitter...

Thanks Velden. I was not aware of that. I hope I am able to remove those screenshots. I will ask the forum admin.
Thanks again.
