      Looking forward to your update!

      when you will use the standard OAuth ?

      • http://webmais.com/author/fabrix/ Fabrix

        Soon, the plugin will have to be completely rewritten

    Could it be that there are some problems when (( WP Twitter )) tries to login at Twitter???

    Several sites of mine that use (( WP Twitter )) appear to have stopped working with WordPress 3.0.1.

    Do you have plans to repair the plugin? Or is it officially dead now?

    Hi

    My WP Twitter has stopped working, I check the options and it states 'Sorry, the credentials you have supplied are invalid. Please re-enter them again.' They are correct, I can login to twitter.

    I believe this is something to do with the Twitter authentication connection only allowing services to use it, not just use the username and password?

    Is there an update, I am using another twitter post old posts and this updated with this and works.

    Please let me know.

    Thanks

    Try using curl for the url shortener request, it works on most hosting servers.

    file_get_contents wasn't working for me, curl fixed it.

    All of a sudden this plugin is posting my Blog Article Titles to Twitter without the The TinyUrl. I checked with my Host server and cURL is enabled. What could be the glitch?

      I switched ((( WP-Twitter ))) to a different redirect url in the control panel. Now, in twitter when one clicks on the link in the Twitter Tweet, it does redirect to my WP Blog, but it says that the page is blank. How can I fic this so it directs to the Home page of the Blog >?

    Love the plugin and I'm using it to tweet my posts, but is there any way to set it up so that a link is given in the tweet?
