(Tweet Old Post) Impossible to save changes, kicked out to the login page

I have exactly the same problem. Downloaded today from wp serching plugin tool and latest version of Wp.

Thanks if anybody knows. If any data missing just ask.

I am looking for a solution to this as well. I have the plugin on 3 blogs. It works on one of them, but not the other two.

All three have identical hosting and themes. There are some different plugins and settings on all three, but I have gone through all the options I can think of and have not been able to figure out why it doesn’t work on the two when it does work on one of them.

It is very strange.

By the way, here is a list of plugins that the two websites that cannot run Tweet Old post have in common, which the one website that can run the plugin does not have installed:

FD Feedburner Plugin by John Watson
Redirection by John Godley
Tabber Widget by iThemes
TentBlogger Simple Top Commenters
TentBlogger Simple Top Posts
Weasel’s HTML Bios by Andy Moore

Do either of you have any of these six plugins installed? If so, maybe we have found our culprit.

It is not a plugin causing this in my case. I disabled all plugins, and the Tweet Old Post plugin still doesn’t work.

So now I will start comparing settings between my three sites to see what might be causing this.

I have the same issue on a couple of sites.

When I try to reauthorise I get kicked back to admin dashboard.

When I try to make any changes to settings I get kicked back to login page ( so I can’t enable logging ).

Any help very welcome!

Scottmliddell,

So it works on some sites, and not on others?

Only have it on two sites and both have exactly the same behaviour.

I don’t know if it matters, but I found out from my Host today that they have allow_url_include turned OFF, and this sometimes hinders some WordPress plugins and other WordPress automated features. They have it turned off for security reasons.

Does anyone know if Tweet Old Post requires the use of allow_url_include?

any updates on this issue. I have the same problem on some of my web sites. I also had my host admin change the “allow_url_include” and no change. I am using WP 3.3 and Tweet old Post – 3.27

I’ve seen the posts detailing that Google Analytics for WordPress seeems to cause this behavior and that disabling it will allow the plugin to work. However, I don’t use that plugin. I have it working on one site, not on another, and I’ve disabled all plugins unique to the site that doesn’t work, so it can’t be a plugin conflict in all cases. Anyone else found any other hints?

I think what I am going to do is try some of the older versions, and if I find one that works, look at the code to find out what changed and what might be causing the problem.

If anyone gets one of these older versions to work, can you post it here for teh rest of us?

Ok… I’m crossing my fingers, but I think I figured it out.

I have several blogs. This plugin only works on one of them. The only difference between the various blogs is that they all use the “www” prefix in their URL except for one…the one that runs this plugin.

In inspecting the code, I discovered that the plugin is using the non-www URL for the plugin. So… I went and edited this file:

/tweet-old-post/top-admin.php

and found the following lines of code:

<h2>' . __('Tweet old post by - ', 'TweetOldPost') . ' <a href="https://www.ajaymatharu.com">Ajay Matharu</a></h2>
				<form id="top_opt" name="top_TweetOldPost" action="' . top_currentPageURL() . '" method="post">
					<input type="hidden" name="top_opt_action" value="top_opt_update_settings" />

and then changed this part:

action="' . top_currentPageURL() . '"

to this:

action="https://www.EXAMPLEURL.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=TweetOldPost"

You would, of course, put your actual URL where it says and of course, if you have wordpress installed in a directory like /blog/ or /wordpress/ you would have to add that to the URL.

It now lets me save changes without dumping me out. Now I will monitor it to see if it actually sends proper tweets.

I am sure there is probably a way to use a WordPress function to call the proper URL rather than pasting it in this way, but I will try to this for now.

Thanks, that actually allows me to save changes, but I’m still getting the redirect to login when I try to authorize with Twitter. I assume this same sort of error is taking place, but in a different place. Anyone know where that function gets called?

AMAZING. After 3 months of hope Jeremyers1 found the solution. Everything works for me now. Thanks a lot dude.

I am glad it works. It is working for me now too.

I am not sure what might be holding up mikemac29 still. I am assuming you deleted the plugin and then reinstalled and reactivated it?
