Future of this plugin re: New API charges

It’s still working for me, despite not having paid anything yet – although not entirely clear why…!

I have formally applied to be a developer, and that’s possibly enough…

Hi Martin,

One by one, all the sites that I have this plugin installed on are getting the error message ‘Please update?your settings for Rotating Tweets. Currently Rotating Tweets cannot authenticate you with Twitter using the details you have given.‘ or similar, and I can’t set it up on new sites.

This plugin, like other similar ones, isn’t compatible with the new API payment tiers is it (i.e. you can’t use it for free any more with any API keys)?

I have changed a couple of sites to use the Premium Smash Balloon Twitter plugin, which does work but it’s also way overkill for what I need it for.

Can you let us know what the status and future plans are for the plugin? Any intention to launch a Premium version, like the Smash Balloon one, which presumably shares an API key between a whole bunch of sites?

At least then we know whether to remove the plugin or to wait for a future update.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I’m going to bite the bullet and sign-up for a $100/month developer subscription to get this working with v2 of the API.

Whether and how that will work to enable wider deployment will be one of the things I try to discover. It may be that an individual developer or website owner needs their own subscription.

Hello,

I’m also getting the “‘Please update your settings for Rotating Tweets. Currently Rotating Tweets cannot authenticate you with Twitter using the details you have given.” message. Do we have an update on the situation please?

Thanks!
