The Future of WP to Twitter

TLDR: Continuing basic compatibility updates, ending support and feature development.

I’ll continue to make basic updates – security and compatibility with WP or PHP. However, I won’t be making any functionality updates moving forward.

But the Twitter API is too unpredictable and the documentation is not reliable at this point, so I’m not going to put a lot of work into that. As far as I can tell, everything still works at this point, but there is a significantly higher rate of App suspensions coming from Twitter and a higher rate of failures in API queries.

This means I’m spending more time on support but all I can tell people is that the problem is at Twitter and I have no more information than they do.

This puts me in an untenable position: I can’t provide good support, I don’t have confidence that the plugin will continue to work, and the support burden is increasing. I’m no longer comfortable selling licenses for the premium add-on, although I will continue to ship updates to that for security and compatibility issues, as well.

The next release will remove the support form and replace it with some basic suggestions for API errors and app suspensions.

This isn’t how I imagined this plugin would end; but that’s where we are.
