hey spacecandy,
In Settings > Twitter Widget, ‘Use Twitter API via HTTPS’ or ‘Use Twitter API via HTTP, and the link below ‘Clear Update Locks’ (replies ‘No locks to clear’).
My twitter account had ‘Always use HTTPS’ checked, but unchecking it makes no difference. I’ve tried setting ‘Number of seconds to wait for a response from Twitter ( default 2 )’ up to 10 seconds, no luck.
FWIW, I’ve tried using Twitter Tools, which requires that a Twitter App be set up with read/write permissions, and though I’ve gotten all the secrets and settings, and waited overnight, it can’t connect either!
I think this must be a local server issue – TWP works fine on my own site…
