Announcement: Versions of Social before 2.7 will stop working on Jan 15th

Alex, thanks, but couldn’t you have temporarily put a notice on that URL (apparently sopresto.mailchimp.com) telling us what the trouble was?

I had to log in here (www.ads-software.com forums) to figure out what was wrong; I thought your service was just not working any more.

In the Social plugin, clicking on the “Sign in with” links to try to fix things, all I was seeing was a popup browser window with

“Address Not Found

sopresto.mailchimp.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.”

I would guess a lot of your users wouldn’t have bothered going further. (After all this is a pretty niche service for people like me who don’t like staying logged in to social networks. ?? )

Anyway, that aside, I love the plugin and have been using it for months, so thank you for the service.

Things I did to try to let people know:

– released a new version on Dec. 21 that included a loud callout in the upgrade notice
– blogged about it
– tweeted about it
– tweeted about it
– posted it to our Facebook page
– blogged about it again
– tweeted about it again
– tweeted about it again
– posted it to our Facebook page again
– posted this announcement thread here

I’ve sent MailChimp a note, maybe they can get something up on that URL as well.

+1

wp-3.5.1 + social-2.7 + tt-3.0.3 doesn’t work for me. Tweets not being fetched. Could it be a firewall issue? Which port does need to be open?

thank you,

I added debug log for php (and ‘touched’ php error log file in ‘/tmp/php_errors.log’ and finally it started to show in social debuf log file:

and I can see the tweets on the page. No idea about the real cause.
I’m very sorry for the false call…

Alex-
I appreciate the product, but it’s still not working. Have you been able to figure out what the issue is? I’m happy to give you logs/details/whatever to help you figure it out.
