From just the blog page?

[Emanuel]

go in blog->module settings->show advanced settings and in the "side" box remove the {TWITTER} and {FLICKER}

go in blog->module settings->show advanced settings and in the "side" box remove the {TWITTER} and {FLICKER}

I still can't find any of that. And there is no show advanced settings in the backend for me.

**Of course after I posted this I found it!**

i also have a problem with this.

i have removed the {TWITTER} and {FLICKER} on the list. ive also removed all data from the boxes yet they still show on the website,..

only reason i want to remove the twitter feed is because it is not updating with my feed when i insert the rss.

any advice??

Twitter and flicker are updated every hour or depends of the settings you have in each widget. A fast way to clear the cache its to go in upload/blog/ and delete all .rss files.

Alright it took me a while, but I finally found out the easiest and simplest way to change the twitter feeds on the right hand side of your website! Just follow these steps below ONE at a time and you'll be tweeting very easily with your own Twitter account instead of the default one:

Be patient and follow these steps:

1.) Login to your administrator account. (backend)

2.) Click on the "BLOG" menu.

3.) Then under the "Module Settings" window which is the main blog menu page, click on the "edit" button on the right hand side.

4.) Scroll half way down the page and under the section "Advanced Settings" click on the little checkbox for the "show advanced settings".

5.) Once in here, scroll down to "Twitter Settings" and change the "RSS Link" to your own twitter RSS link. (If you need to find out your own Twitter RSS link, go into your Twitter account and visit your actual Twitter Feed Page and on the Bottom ride side of the page, there will be RSS Icon and it will say "RSS feed of username's tweets". Just right click and copy the shortcut to the link, or click on that link and then copy the link in your address bar. That is your Twitter RSS Feed!)

6.) P.S. You can change the amount of Twitter Feeds it shows, default says 5, also you can even scroll down to the Flickr settings and do the same thing for your Flickr RSS Feed.

That was very easy now wasn't it!

Maybe Oxylus, can you add this detail to your readme, or help files? Typically Twitter Feeds are not tied into blogs, but that is just my experience.

If you need more help, let me know, I'd be glad to lend a hand!
