Twitter OAuth Settings

Twitter now relies on OAuth security to control all third party access. For this theme to access your tweets, you will need to register it as an application with Twitter.

Fortunately this isn’t difficult to do, just follow the six steps below to get the settings you will need:

1. Goto https://dev.twitter.com/user/login?destination=home
2. Sign in with your Twitter sign in details
3. Click your avatar in the top right of the page to view the menu, then click My Applications
4. Click 'Create a new application' and fill in the application details: (the name has to be unique so you may want to use your website address for this)
5. Click the 'Create my access token' button (There is a slight delay at this point, so you may have to refresh the page before your access token appears)
6. You should now have your OAuth settings and access token, you will need to copy the following information:
   
   
   • Consumer Key
   • Consumer Secret
   • Access token
   • Access token secret
