Yes, unchecking that setting is not recommended. CSP - content security policy - is on by default for very good reasons. If you need to whitelist some scripts that would normally be flagged by CSP, you can add them to the `content_security_policy_script_src` setting on your site and they would then work without issue. You can read

Doesn’t that setting come unchecked by default?

No, that setting has been on by default for a while now.

Is it possible to change background color of twitter time line to match with the forum background ?

Not easily because it’s in an iFrame so you can’t just add CSS but there are various suggestions on stackexchange, but not sure which work, for example
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40674291/styling-a-twitter-feed-css-wont-target-timeline-tweet-text](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40674291/styling-a-twitter-feed-css-wont-target-timeline-tweet-text).
Because of lazy loading (sorry if this isn’t the correct term) on discourse, I think any js solution will require
```plaintext
```

Hi,
After installing twiiter sidebar to production we are having issues with Dashboard cannot load “Signups” or any individual report it just keeps loading never loads. Discourse version is 2.4.1 recently upgraded. When I remove Twitter side bar component it works fine. Any ideas why this would happen ?
Thanks

Do you have content security policy enabled? I have it working with these settings
I’m running 2.5.0.beta2. No idea what it could have to do with reports but I can generate all the reports on my sites

I have the same settings as you for security policy. When I remove Twitter Sidebar reports start working for some reason.

Sorry, I really have no idea how to go about troubleshooting something involving a conflict with site reports

The error is **TypeError: document.getElementById(…) is null**
Apparently the `#sidebar` div is not inserted on every page?
It can be fixed by properly checking if the element is not `null`.
```
api.onPageChange(() => {
if (Discourse.User.current() !== null){
var sb = document.getElementById("sidebar")
if (sb) {
sb.style.display = "block";
}
}
});
api.onPageChange(() => {
var is_iPad = navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null;
if(is_iPad) {
var sb = document.getElementById("sidebar")
if (sb) {
sb.style.display = "none";
}
}
});
```

Is there any one, who can help me to embedd Twitter feed, like they have on the sidebar?

I fully support this idea. Has anyone tried with success to get rid of twitter addiction from their community ?
