WordTwit 2.4 Released
May 31 2010 • Written By Duane Storey • 50 Comments

We just pushed out a new version of WordTwit. Twitter has announced that they will be discontinuing their old API in June and will only support their new OAuth version going forward. So, we ripped out the old authentication system in WordTwit and upgraded to the OAuth version.

So if you upgrade to WordTwit 2.4, make sure you go to the administrational panel and reauthorize your account. Also, the signature method required for the new Twitter API (hmac-sha1) is only available in PHP5. So unfortunately at this time we’ll only be support PHP5 for WordTwit.

If you have any problems with WordTwit 2.4, please drop a comment in the support forums.

Update – version 2.4.4 is now in the repository, please make sure you are using the latest version

    Twitter 2.4.4 doesn’t use a user name and password. There should be a Twitter button that says “sign in to twitter”. If you click that it should take you to Twitter and let you authorize WordTwit using OAuth.

        You should contact your host. In 100% of the cases I’ve investigated, it’s always been that the IP address that the server is on has been blocked by Twitter. Usually if you ssh into your server and try

        curl -I http://api.twitter.com

        it will fail.

    If the link doesn’t take you to Twitter, that means for some reason the OAuth process isn’t working properly. What version of PHP are you running? Is safe_mode enabled on your site?

    I tested with 4 different twitter integration applications and all of tham are working well, and all of them have the new twitter login system… OAUTH… So I really think its something in 2.4.4 that is not right… :(

      Can I possibly debug on your server? I would need admin access and FTP access to the WordTwit directory.
