[Plugin: News Bar] says "messages not found"

Hello,

I am also having the same problem. https://www.swarthmore.org.uk
Your plugin is great, but it’s recently stopped working. I presume it’s something to do with the way it communicates with Twitter. Perhaps Twitter have changed something.

If you would like any help exploring what is causing this problem, please email me (rikdeek atgmaildotcom). For the moment I will disable the plugin.

Thanks,
Kind regards,

I had the same problem but now its solved. ??

Go to Plugins>Editor and open the News bar code

Look for this line and change it to the following:

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

I hope that It helped.

`// Get tweets
$messages = fetch_rss( ‘https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=YOUR USERNAME’ );

EranBaruch, thanks, it works!

Anyone which is also broken, try this code.
1. Go to Plugins>Editor and open the News bar code
2. Choose file news-bar/includes/get-news.php
3. Find this

// Get tweets
$messages = fetch_rss( 'https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/' . $username . '.rss' );

Replace with this:

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