Ok, I pretty much just Googled the RSS issue with Twitter and figured it out. Twitter changed their link to the RSS feed. You just need to change one line of code and the plugin will work fine.

Go to your plugins folder > news-bar > includes > get-news.php

Go to line #50, it should look like this:

$messages = fetch_rss( ‘https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/’ . $username . ‘.rss’ );

You want to change it to this:

$messages = fetch_rss( ‘https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=’ . $username );

New Twitter link and remove the “.rss” at the end. Here is the link to the dev forum where I found this:

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/faq#11716

”

soadeathdealer – thank you for your input. I tried the code as you put it however it still says messages not found. I tried it with the .rss in and without it.

Can I ask what do you mean by ‘New Twitter Link’ (sorry a little confused)

BTW I also tried this:

https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=twitterapi (and changed twitterapi to the name I needed it to be) as per the page you linked to from Twitter Dev – still nada.

Also finding issues with the news feed also.

Okay so this is my work around

Change [username] to your username and display it in News Bar as a RSS Feed (it displays all tweets and retweets and mentions – best I can do)

EDIT:

AND even better: https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=username – put that in the parr on News Bar where you would put your RSS Feed instead of Twitter name – change username to your twitter username and it works – by jingo it blooming well works!
