The X widget is available to use on any Sidebar, Widget Area or Widget shortcode. The X widget comes in 3 styles, the X Preconfigured Style (Deprecated), X Style, and the Avada Style. Each style has it’s own setup instructions and options. Continue reading below to learn more about the X widget and the available styles.

X Preconfigured Style – This style is deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming version update.. This style will only work if you’ve already created an X widget using X’s old Widgets Configurator.

X Style – This style will only import your tweets. You have to set the different options found under this style to customize your X widget.

Avada Style – This is the classic Avada style. It requires you to create a new app via http://apps.twitter.com/. You will then be requested to enter a few Keys and Access Tokens.

This style was specifically for Twitter’s old Widgets Configurator page. It’s now been replaced with the Twitter Publish page. For the time being, you can continue using this style, if you’ve already created a widget using Twitter’s old Widgets Configurator page.
