Hello,

You need to add correct data to these fields https://prnt.sc/rtbc80

Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new and log in, if necessary
Enter your Application Name, Description and your website address. You can leave the callback URL empty.
Accept the TOS, and solve the CAPTCHA.
Submit the form by clicking the Create your Twitter Application
Copy the consumer key (API key) and consumer secret from the screen into your application
Create Your Access Token for OAuth
Twitter-OAuth-Settings

After creating your Twitter Application, you have to give the access to your Twitter Account to use this Application. To do this, click the Create my Access Token.

Get the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Acess token, Access Token Secret
Twitter-OAuth-Access-tokens

In order to access the Twitter, that is to get recent tweets and twitter followers count, you need the four keys such as Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Acess token, Access Token Secret.

Theme-Options-page

To get all these keys, click the OAuth Tool tab in your Twitter Application and copy those keys and paste in our Theme Options page. That’s it. Now Your Twitter counter will get the followers count and display them in your widget.

Hello,

Customer Key and Customer Secret are required also. Generate them into your account then add into fields of the widget.
