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

    We moved the WordTwit stylesheet to the main CSS to minimize stylesheet calls, and recommend an option in admin setup to do so, instead of manually editing it out each time there is an upgrade to WordTwit. This is a super plugin and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot for the hard work.

    You’re welcome, glad you like it! Which stylesheet are you referring to, the admin stylesheet or the user one?

      The user stylesheet. It is the one that loads by itself under normal circumstances during pageload. It’s just one less server call as we minify. Thanks.

      Did you try the ‘Reset Settings’ button beside the save button in the WordTwit admin?

    I also have a problem with the new version of this plugin.
    I updated the WordTwit-plugin, but now I can’t see the view of all plugins.
    When I delete the folder “WordTwit” via ftp, everything is fine again.
    When I disactivate the plugin “Twitter Widget Pro”, I can activate “WordTwit”.
    But both activated at the same time is not possible.
    What do I have to do?

    The 2.4.4 is broken, it have an error. In line 39 you have to change:
    This line: require_once( ‘include/oauth.php’ );
    for this line: require_once( ‘include/twitterOAuth.php’ );

    twitterOAuth.php isn’t in the include directory. The real file is oauth.php, so I’m not sure why you need to do that. Sounds like you should remove WordTwit completely and reinstall – those files don’t match what you should have.

      Hi Duane,

      Line 39:
      require_once( ‘include/oauth.php’ );
      should be:
      require_once( ‘include/OAuth.php’ );

      There is a file in the include directory named “OAuth.php” and on case-sensitive systems (unix), PHP will throw an error.

      Just so you know. Thanks.

    I’m facing the same problem as Gustavo is. After I clicked the “sign in to twitter” button, the page was refreshed and nothing else happened.

    Any suggestions on how to fix.

      It sounds like you’re using an old version of WordPress. Do you know what version it is?

      The Widget API was added in 2.8, so that’s why you’re having problems. You should probably download the previous version of WordTwit you were using and use that until you upgrade your WordPress installation.

    Any chance of adding functionality to the Tweet message posting text to include say the posts [tags] or [categories] as well as [link] and [title]?

    And thanks for the plug-in…
