Wrong number of tweets with "Hide @replies" option set

  • Hi!
    There is a minor bug with number of tweets displayed when “Hide @replies” option set.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Reply to someone’s tweet, so your @reply is your latest tweet.
    2. Set “How many items would you like to display?” to 3 (for example).
    3. Set “Hide @replies” to True (checkbox is checked).
    4. Refresh plugin output: you will see 2 tweets, but not 3.

    Probably this is because you have requested 3 tweets, and then removed @replies from them, resulting in only 2 tweets available to show. But actually as a user, I wanted to see my 3 latest tweets, with no @replies among them.

    Next problem occurs if you will have number of @replies equal to items to display setting. Nothing will be shown in this case and someone who has lots of replies, but uses the same settings as I did, might think your plugin is not functional at all.

    Anyway, thank you for amazing plugin. It helps me a lot.

  • Hi Zahhar.

    Made an account to respond to this as the developer looks inactive after 2 months of no response.

    I had this exact issue but I’ve fixed it after debugging through the code.

    Edit file: wp-twitter-widget.php

    Find the string ‘public function display’. Once you’ve found it, replace the whole method with what I’ve pasted in this pastebin:
    https://pastebin.com/md9ZSTWB

    It will do the count properly this time even if ‘hide @replies’ is enabled.

    This is a fix for Twitter Widget Pro V2.8.0.

    Hope it helps and works ??
