Won’t connect to Twitter. Plugin deleted.
]]>Getting “There was a problem connecting to Twitter” because Twitter API has changed. Is there any plans to fix this?
]]>Hello guys,
Α problem created suddenly with this error in my wordpress: “There was a problem connecting to Twitter”.
I have the latest version of wordpress (3.5.1) and latest version of 0.5.3 Blackbird Pie.
The method used is: Paste only the tweet link
for example: https://twitter.com/Feetadoration/status/344442855193997312
Can anyone help me please?
thanks

Undefined variable: profile_bg_tile_HTML

]]>This is a great plugin and I would like to use it within my post/page loop instead of the shortcode for every post.
Is there a PHP call available and how would I do this? Any examples?
What my goal is; I want to get the latest tweets (number of tweets or the last 3 months or every tweet) and show them on a page.
Thanx!

]]>I continue to get “There was a problem connecting to Twitter” errors.
This works:
[blackbirdpie id=”20″]
But when I use my own twitter ID this doesn’t work and gives the error:
[blackbirdpie id=”44824928″]

]]>Is there a way to safely delete this plugin while maintaining the URLs I’ve entered into the plugin?
For example. This is the code produced by BBP
[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/User/status/123456790″%5D
Would it be possible to remove everything from this code except the URL?

]]>Hi there,
I have a client who likes BBP so much that they’re in the habit of including dozens of tweets in any given WordPress post. Unfortunately this slows down the page dramatically, because BBP connects to twitter and regenerates each tweet on page load. The following code change changed page loading time from 15-30 seconds to 2-5 seconds.

]]>I haven’t been able to find a twitter plugin for wordpress which would display all the latest tweets from a user as attractively as this plugin.
Perhaps you could include this feature in your plugin?

]]>Sometime in the last day or two we can not “search” for a tweet then post it. We can search, see the post, but when we click on it nothing happens.
It worked in the past, we have had it add the short code.

]]>I am using the latest version of the plugin andinstead of shwoing me the tweet, it still shows the shortcode.
Any ideas. i took it off the blog post as it looks stupid, for now.
Thanks.

]]>Doesn’t work, update required.
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/twitter-blackbird-pie/
]]>I see that others have had a similar problem, however I am unsure how to resolve it. I love Blackbird Pie, as I think it adds a lot to my blog…however, I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to work….I’ve been using blackbird for months, but I believe it stopped working when I updated wordpress.
I’d appreciate any advice you could offer on how to resolve the issue.
Thank you!!

]]>Hi,
I find this plugin very useful (although I have to admit I had to hack it a bit, to clean so expensive and unnecessary queries). Thank you for that.
I’m rather stuck, though, on one point: the plugin doesn’t work when using apply_filters(‘the_content’ $content) – although other autoembeds (e.g. youtube) and shortcodes (eg [embed]) do work fine.
Any suggestion?
This is a very important issue for me, because we want to use this in conjunction with the live-blogging plugin.
Thanks,
Bira

]]>We’re using this plugin on a high traffic community site, and for the past few days our server has been crashing several times a day, locking up the CPU and maxing out the memory each time.
We’ve been racking our brains trying to find the cause and finally discovered over 3K queries being run on each page load. Over 2K of these were querying user meta data.
It turns out this plugin is returning all registered users on the site, looping through them and retrieving the meta data for each using a separate query for each and storing this on every page load, simply to check and see if there’s a stored twitter handle available for the post author of the current post in the loop.
While this might be no big deal on a site with less than 10 users (it’s still 9 more queries than necessary,) it turned out to be a total showstopper for us, with over 2K registered users to loop through.
For the time being we’ve simply commented out the loop that builds this “cache,” which seems to only prevent the &related= parameter from being added to the twitter action links that are added to the plugin output, and we have it as a very low priority to optimize this process. If we do get around to cleaning the code, we’ll be sure to send the code over to the plugin authors for review.
In the meantime if the plugin authors would like to have a look at this very serious bug, it’d be great to be able to restore full functionality of the plugin with no more than a plugin update on our part.
Thanks for your attention and remember, when writing a plugin, get_num_queries() is your friend!

]]>So I’ve been doing a few performance enhancements at work and stumbled upon an installation of this plugin in our blog. It was doing ~70 queries on any given page, 1 for every author of our blog. Awesome stuff.
Even placing the queries behind APC means that each fresh, un-cached page view will result in about 70 extra queries to our database. 70 queries that can be all done at once, en masse.
It appears that the problem function is BlackbirdPie->embed_head(). I’ve attached a single gist that fixes the issue for our use case. We don’t allow non-author users on our blog, so I didn’t need to verify that the user_id and twitter handle was attached to an editor etc., but if this is necessary, we can do this via a join, requiring still only a single query, as opposed to 1 per WordPress user.
Feel free to critique the code change itself, I look forward to getting some conversation going on this. I’m sure there are others out there who have this issue and don’t even know it ??

]]>I’m a UX designer, and very much like your plugin. I made some modififications to make this more UX friendly.
If you want users to actually click the “Retweet/Reply/Favorite” I would recommend you move it to the bottom right corner.
Since “Retweet” is the most common action, I would move this to the far right.
I would really like if you replicated twitter functionality and had the Retweet/Reply/Favorite fade in on mouse-over. This would drive some clicks.
Here is the modified version:

i hope it gets fixed – its the only twitter plugin on word press with twitter intents link
]]>With debug enabled, I get this notice:

]]>My site was functioning perfectly until I installed this plugin, and immediately used it for a single post. I came back several hours later to find literally hundreds of High-Memory Use notifications in my email box.
I’m set up to receive these notifications when the site experiences problems.
The email read:
WordPress memory usage exceeded 64 MB
WordPress peak memory usage: 69.3 MB
Number of database queries: 3406
I raised the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to 128 MB, but the email notifications kept coming non-stop. I deactivated the plug-in and they stopped.
Too bad, because it seems like a cool plug-in. I liked how it made my post look w/ Tweet image, but not worth the bad performance.
]]>I tried inputting Blackbird Pie into comments, but it does not seem to work. I know that WordPress.com has it enabled in comments. Any idea what I need to do to enable Blackbird Pie in comments?
BTW, I see this as an opportunity to revolutionize blogging.
]]>Hi there!
Plugin’s great, made a blog post about it and was planning to use it as well outside of post content.
That’s where I’m stuck, sorry if this is NooB, but:
how do I make BlackbirdPie get applied to (whatever) e.g. in function.php file having something like:
$string="[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/#!/teamaxura/status/59249099538571264"]";
$parsed_string = BlackbirdPie($string);
Aim is to be able to apply BlackbirdPie “outside” of the_content of a post.
First, thanks for reading this, second, thanks a lot for helping if you feel like!

]]>I just got around to trying this on my 3.1 BuddyPress site. Wow! I mean … Just. Wow.
I have to embed tweets a lot, due to the nature of what I’m blogging about, and this works not only as advertised, but it auto-resizes to fit my theme perfectly.
Thank you very much and keep up the good work. 5 stars!

]]>About a week ago the Blackbird Pie plugin stopped working on my wordpress install at https://midwasted.com. No tweet will show up in my published content, simple a message that “There was a problem connecting to Twitter.” I’d love some help with this, as I used to rely heavily on this plugin for my content.
]]>Since the latest update of BBP and 3.1.1, I was having some issues with my WP install. Specifically the visual editor was no longer showing up in the post/page editor, the Incoming Links widget on the dashboard stopped working, and the expanding/collapsing of the admins menus no longer worked.
I had to disable all my plugins, and reenabled until I identified BBP as the culprit. Don’t know what’s going on, but unfortunately I’ll need to keep it disabled until it works again.
Any ideas?
]]>After activating the plugin, the toolbar for the visual editor vanished. I know it is this plugin because I can activate/deactivate and turn the toolbar off and on.
]]>when upgrading the plugin on some of my blogs from 0.4.1.1 to 0.5, posts which included tweets gave me the dreaded white screen of doom/death.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I cannot for the life of me replicate the issue on my dev machine ??
]]>hey there,
I just saw a new update from WordPress.com in the Blackbird Pie
https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/sweeter-twitter-blackbird-pie/
Are you guys going to update the plugin also?
I guess it is the Web Intents:

Waiting for answer.
Thanks,
