Site broken after update to latest version

sorry just a quick follow up, when it first loads it might look ok, then going to another page or refreshing seems to break it:

thanks

The problem is that the <div class="tweetsect"> doesn’t appear to be closing (i.e. there’s a missing </div> – but I can’t work out why the plug-in would have done it!

Are you using a widget or a shortcode? And which “Display format” or official_format do you use? If you’re using a shortcode, can you post it here?

Martin

hi Martin and thanks for coming back to me

Yes that’s what I thought about the div not clasing, but it all seems fine in the code and was working before the update. Its not in a widget, I have it coded straight into the template:

<div class=”tweetsect”>
<h3>TWEET, TWEET</h3>
<?php echo do_shortcode( “[rotatingtweets screen_name=’caseyavenue’ official_format=’1′ links_in_new_window=’1′ rotation_type=’scrollUp’ speed=’3000′ timeout=’6000′ url_length=’12’]” ) ?>
</div>

weird eh?

If you have any thoughts please let me know

Just copied your code into my site and it worked fine – so equally baffled!

I’ll switch off WP_DEBUG and see if that makes a difference.

Are you using W3TC caching?

Martin

certainly strange.. no I’m not using W3TC caching plugin.

I’ll go through the whole removing plugins routine, see if something else is causing a conflict. I’ll let u know if I have any joy..

thanks
Gary

A thought. Do all your divs close properly if you temporarily remove the <?php echo do_shortcode (); ?> section?

If yes, what are the settings on the Rotating Tweets settings page? I’ll try replicating every last bit of your set-up!

Hi Gary,

Just looked at your site and it all seems to be working now. Did you find a fix in Rotating Tweets or was it something else?

Best wishes,

Martin

Hi Martin,
I too, am having the same trouble. I’m not an expert or a programmer. I look after a website (www.mmcedmonton.com) and so far it has been pretty good. I hit the update button yesterday. So I updated WordPress to 4.1 and I also updated your plug-in Rotating Tweets to the latest version.
I made sure that all the keys are correct. The plug-in doesn’t come up with an error. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. I have to keep hitting the refresh to get it to work.
I wish I could go backwards and keep what I had before I updated. All pages on the website show the tweets except for 2. I’m using a widget which I downloaded from WordPress.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Garth

Hi Garth,

Which version were you using before?

You can go back to the earlier version by downloading it from https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/rotatingtweets/developers/, unzipping it and uploading it to the right directory.

I’ve never seen this ’empty tweet’ problem before. It might be because of all the emoji in your tweets. Unfortunately, while Twitter supports emoji, WordPress doesn’t (at least by default) – and if people have an old set up with their database, emoji can be very problematic. It also might be something weird with the caching. The latest version switches to removing emoji by default (although that also doesn’t appear to be happening properly). I’ve switched the development version at https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/rotatingtweets.zip back to the old setting. It might be worth trying and seeing if it solves the problem.

Hi Martin,

I tried your suggestion and I am back up and running. I was using version 1.7.2 , I reloaded that version and it is back 100%.

Thanks for your help!!!

Garth

Hi Martin,

I seem to be having issues with your plugin and emoji characters in tweets. I am using Version 1.7.5 and WP 4.1. The Twitter feed works (actually shows the emoji characters on some pages in I.E. and Firefox and rotates correctly), and then the feed brakes on all other pages. I noticed in one of your post above you mentioned that emoji can be very problematic, and to try using an earlier version such as version 1.7.2 as garthkr did. I will try that going forward, but please let me know of any other alternative solutions with your current Version 1.7.5.

I’ve put in a new development version that may address this.

Does this work for you?

The latest update should fix this.

Your update did fix the problem with the Twitter Feed. I appreciate your quick response to this issue. Many Thanks, Mark

Hi Martin,

I just uploaded and tried your new update and it works on my site too!!
Thanks for all your help!! I really appreciate it.
