WordPress Plugin Wordtwit Add Twitter Account Not Working (Setup Instructions)

If you’ve recently upgraded Wordtwit, you’ll notice some changes which are specifically to address the old Twitter API being deprecated. You will need to create a Twitter Application for Wordtwit to be able to add a Twitter account.

The developer has provided some instructions on how to correctly create a Twitter application for Wordtwit:Creating a custom application for WordTwit

Make sure that you set the callback URL to your websites URL, which is what I had skipped and caused the “Add Account” button under Twitter accounts to not function at all.

 

 

Forget TwitterUpdater Use WordTwit!

Alright, I was stumbling around looking for some things and found this wonderful plugin called WordTwit

This plugin is awesome! Not only is it really clean and done well, but it has multiple URL Shortening services. No Bit.ly login support at the moment. However there is one great thing about it that I love. The fact that each post has this little box under tags, that tells you whether the post has been tweet’d or not.

Now that’s really awesome. I love this plugin!

Twitter App for Facebook is Broken! But Twitter Support is Non-Existant!

I have had time to blog that much, but since I’ve got some time today. I thought I might talk about how I’ve stumbled upon my own issues with Twitter. I’ve talked to https://twitter.com/fabbrunette about her issues with her password reset problems and Twitters phone verification not working at all. And then the on going issue of actually trying to get help without a login.

But lets cover my problems, because its all about me today. Ha.

The problem, I can’t add the Twitter application to my Facebook account. I know, I know, applications are the suck. But I thought I would have my twitter followers and facebook friends enjoy the comfort of my ramblings equally. Instead of favouring one platform, I can get the attention of my IRL (In Real Life) friends and my Twitter “followers”.

When I try to add the application, it asks for my login. I input my login and then am greeted with a “Wrong username or password”. So I decided to be smart about it, and use my email address, same outcome. So I change my password, same outcome. So I create a new Twitter account to see if that works. First try, same outcome, second try it works.

I don’t understand. Like seriously, I know I might sound a little annoying and bitchy, but it gets better.

So who do I talk to about this issue? Well Twitter of course, so I decided to click the “Help” and see what I might get out of this. To my surprise there is already a topic on the issue.

It might not be the issue im experiencing exactly, but its the right topic. But the comments are closed, so what to do now?
