Apparently, Twitter has changed their API process and now you have to fill out forms and explain why you need an API key. Then your answers get evaluated and you may get approved or rejected. This new process has started few months ago. So not many people know about it.
Well, I applied to get an API key but got rejected. I told twitter that I need API to use a WP Plugin where it posts my new articles on twitter automatically. But they rejected my application. So I started making a research on how else I can automated posting on Twitter when I write a new article and found nothing useful.
So right now there’s no WP plugin that doesn’t require a twitter api, to post things on twitter automatically. This is really frustrating as many people are using these services while I can not because my site is new and I don’t have a twitter API key.
So my question is;
Is there any plan to have a workaround this? or is there anyone making a plugin to overcome this problem so people can have this auto post feature back to their blogs again?
Thank you
]]>Hello,
Your plugin that I love because of its simplicity is only one error away of being able to be run without errors with PHP 7.
From the scan the problem to fix is the following :
– file : really-simple-twitter-feed-widget/really_simple_twitter_widget.php
– error : 28 | ERROR | Use of deprecated PHP4 style class constructor is not supported since PHP 7
Could you fix this one please ?
]]>Hi,
I get the following warning in this plugin:
Notice: Undefined index: name in wp-content/plugins/really-simple-twitter-feed-widget/really_simple_twitter_widget.php on line 598
I know that it’s not a big deal, but could you put an isset on those lines?
It’s a very useful plug, but it’s just a minor annoyance on my dev machine.
Thanks for a really simple and useful plugin.

Help? Thanks!

It didn’t affect the mobile site – and for some reason unknown to me I decided to press the same link there too to the same effect :-/

Any help would be appreciated as I’ve made quite a few changes since my last backup.
Many thanks (for an otherwise great plugin)!

]]>Hi,
With the advent of WordPress 4.3, the plugin is generating a deprecation warning.
This is because of an upcoming deprecation that will generate a warning in PHP7, and be well and truly taken out of PHP8. It’s a fairly simply fix as described in this post on the make.www.ads-software.com blog:
– In all classes in the plugin, rather than using constructor functions with the same name as the class (PHP4 method), name it __construct() (PHP5+ method)
– In classes extending WP_Widget, to initiate the widget with the WP_Widget classes constructor method, call parent::__constructor. (As opposed to calls like $this->WP_Widget, WP_Widget::WP_Widget or parent::WP_Widget)
Will the plugin be updated to fix this warning/future error?
Thanks.

Great widget! Exactly what I was looking for.
Was just wondering if it were possible to disable links on the hashtags only (and not the actual hyperlinks)?
Example tweet:

I want to maintain the hyperlinks on ****
but none for hashtags (^^^^

apologies if this has already been covered. I found some similar posts but they didn’t work.
I want to move the image and twitter feed so it lines up with the left of the widget (directly under the title).

If I could increase the space between the image and the text that would be amazing but not essential.
Thank you in advance.

]]>Hello!
I’m using the RSTF widget, but on a specific site, it’s not always showing the correct number of Tweets.
Here is the website in question: https://supremeentertainment.net
And the Twitter account displaying Tweets from: https://twitter.com/supreme_artists
I have it set to display 3 tweets, but sometimes it will only display 1 or 2 (currently set to 4 as this works, whereas 3 currently doesn’t).
When I change the number to 4, it shows them all without any issues.
I’ve cleared the cache, and also deleted all transients using a transient manager plugin.
I thought the problem might have been due to emoji support, but my client deleted the Tweet in question, but this didn’t resolve the issue.
We’ve now set the widget to display 4 tweets and all seems to be ok for now – but we would ideally like it to be set to 3.
Here’s the information from the debug log when it was set to 3 tweets:
RSTW Debug info enabled
RSTW Retrieving API rate limit
RSTW 174 of 180 API calls left, reset in 514s
RSTW Fetching 12 items from Twitter
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

]]>Looking for an answer for this but couldn’t find it.
I wanted to float the thumbnail left and have the tweet to the right without wrapping the text.
Because the tweet ($msg) wasn’t wrapped inside an element I couldnt seem to figure out a way to accomplish this with CSS.
I solved this by editing really_simply_twitter_widget.php at line 1093 to read….
$out .= '<p>' . $msg . '</p>';
I was then able to add this to my styles to get the layout I wanted
.really_simple_twitter_widget p { overflow: auto; }
.really_simple_twitter_widget img { float: left; margin: 0 10px 0 0; }
Obviously, editing the plugin itself isn’t the way to go so maybe this can be added to the plugin for next release?

]]>Have just been struggling with “Unable to get tweets” errors. It worked when getting data directly, would always fail from the cache.
NB – I re-issued the API auth codes just in case, but no change.
Using Transients Manager (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/transients-manager/) to look at the cache, I realised that the stored data was terminated just before there was an emoji. It didn’t have the rest of the data or even the enclosing brackets. I assume it is not being recognised as an array and throwing the error.
For me, changing the number of fetched tweets (and later adding another tweet) solved this issue temporarily. However, convincing the client that they cannot use emoji is going to be interesting.
Whiletrue: Any chance you can add emoji support or stop them breaking things?
