Not sure if Twitter/X has stopped this working, but I can't seem to get it to display any Twitter feed.

In module description says that it works only with pro accounts, not with free accounts.

Why is it showing as a free module on the UT website then?

Sorry, I'm not understanding.

I think I need to explain it better:
When I refer to PRO accounts, they are X accounts (formerly Twitter), meaning the module only shows the feed of X accounts that pay a subscription to have their blue, gray, or gold check. This is not a limitation of the module, but of the X API. The module is and will always be free.

Now, that's also if Elon Musk doesn't limit or change how his API works. As he says in the module demo, this guy is crazy.

Ah OK, I understand perfectly.

I guessed it would be something to do with the way the API works at Twitter/X's end. Thanks for clarifying.

EDIT: Actually, I tried with PRO accounts on Twitter and even they won't display. Even Musk's own feed won't work with the module.
