    Great plugin! But I’m having a problem and I’m not sure if it’s the plugin or Twitter (which I’m new to)… If there’s an apostrophe or a dash in the entry title Twitter just cuts off there and doesn’t include the link back to the site. So, for example, look at the two oldest Tweets here, both came from the plugin:
    http://tinyurl.com/le33oq
    The oldest one looks good and the second oldest just says “From Jerusaem” and then cuts off because there was a dash there. Does Twitter not allow these basic symbols? I think I’ve seen them in other people’s tweets…

    I too am having the issue where it double post’s blog postings to twitter. I do not have any other WP-plugins posting to twitter so I am not sure the cause. One thing I did notice is one posting shows the shortened url and the other post displays the post subject with a hyperlink to the post

    I love this tool but isn’t it supposed to put a link in the tweet back to my site? My twitter name is peter_butler and it inserts the new prefix and short headline but no link back. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it but no link. What am I missing?

    Love this plugin! Have used it for several days now, and am loving it so far. Fabrix, is there a way to not display the image in the feed before the tweet? If so, could you share how to do that? Thanks!

    I would like to know if it’s possible to change the source of new tweet? Current ‘wp-twitter’ could be changed to something else? F.ex. ‘my blog’?

    Would be nice to have Tweet post-tweet options or allow a space between the option and the beginning of the tweet. Hashtags and links don’t work because there’s no space.

    Altogether a fantastic plugin! Thanks.

    WP-Twitter is great, thank you. One suggestion: could an option be added to remove the picture icon from each different Tweet? Possibly replaced with a bullet styled list?

    Acredito que seja brasileiro (assim como eu) então escreverei em português mesmo. Primeiramente parabéns pelo plugin, era exatamente o que eu precisava (e ao menos não encontrei nenhum outro similar). O que quero pedir é a existência da possibilidade de desabilitar o twet automatico quando um post é atualizado, isso acaba incomodando os seguidores já que as vezes a alteração foi mínima, apenas uma formatação do texto, não tem porque twittar novamente. Abraços!

    I’ve been using this plugin since version 1.4.1 and have found it to be outstanding. I’m having a problem with the new version 2.0, in that it double posts my tweets. I’m using another WP > Twitter plugin to post my tweets and find it to be what I want. I can’t find an option to turn off your plugin’s posting of tweets when I make a new blog post. It’s irritating in the extreme because I have to go in and delete the extra tweets. I’ve gone back to 1.5 which didn’t have that functionality.

    Please give me an option to turn that off? Thank you.
