Tried deauthorizing the plug-in, but no option now to reauthorize? This error appears on the settings page:

Unable to obtain authorization URL from Twitter.
Please make sure your server time is accurate or adjust the OAuth Time Offset below.
If problem persists, visit the support forums and report your problem

Have tried deleting the plug-in and reinstalling completely, making sure entire wordtwit folder is deleted from plug-ins directory. Plug-in now completely broken.

I also continue to have this issue. Not fixed in 2.9.2

Ugh. So it’s a Facebook problem? That’s too bad, as then it’s unfixable. I was really enjoying the automatic creation of a thumbnail, title and excerpt with two clicks from my blog posts.

Thanks for the help. Great plugin!

BTW this is definitely an issue with the 3.0.2 upgrade, as when I deleted that version and went back to 3.0.1, it all worked fine again. I am using WP 2.7.

I am having this same issue. Oddly it started with the two most recent posts in my blog, but is working okay on older posts. ???

Something must be different with the two most recent posts on my blog with respect to the Sociable plug in. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I loved the simplicity of this plug in for Facebook.

I have the same problem. I was instructed to delete/comment out that same line in config.php because the upgrade to 6.5 had all the apostrophes in my blog changed to bizarre characters like a€?

However now some apostrophes and é are being replaced by ? question mark symbols. ot all of them nor in every post, but frequently enough in the older 950+ posts on my blog that to attempt to change them all will take many, many hours.

Does no one here have any idea what the problem is?

Thanks anyway, but I figured it out myself.

For anyone with a similar issue, you cannot name the folder that your theme resides in with multiple words using spaces. I had named the folder “MAD Blog Theme” and that would not work. When I changed it to “MADBlogTheme” is was right as rain.

Oh, and the original theme designers apparently have bigger fish to fry than having time to help me out with this issue.

Ask and ye shall receive, or wait long enough and you may figure it out for yourself.

I discovered after much experimentation that using “most used” as the method of listing link categories in the “Add New Link” or “Edit Link” admin areas resulted in the link created/edited always defaulting to “Other Links” no matter what was selected or how many times I tried to change it. By instead selecting “All Categories” as my list method, that problem disappeared and any catagory selected would stick.

Thanks for the help, art4mad!

You’re welcome, art4mad! Happy blogging!

You are welcome, but in my case it HAD to have been placed there by something in the WP 2.6 update. Just before I updated I copied my entire blog, every directory and file, to my computer. After upgrading I starting having the problem. Looking back at my pre-upgrade files there was no index.php in my /plugins directory. Unless one of the plugins I had previously added the index.php when they were reactivated somehow i do not know where that file came from. I know I did not add it myself, although I DID at an index.php file into the wp-content folder because there was now one in that folder in 2.6.

Go figure. Thanks for the security tip.

Fix:

Remove the file index.php from your wp-content/plugins folder. Once done the correct link URL appears on the dashboard and the content appears when they are used. I am not sure why there is an index.php file in the plugins folder in 2.6… it is empty except for a comment and was not there when I checked my 2.5 backup files.

I have the same problem after upgrading to 2.6. I also deactivated all plugins but no dice. Cleared cache and cookies. Nope. I then deleted and reinstalled WP-admin from scratch. Nada.

I never noticed the exact URL path for the “Dashboard” links before but they appear to be broken. mine is just like sys2074 describes, i.e. “…/wp-admin/admin.php?page=index.php” and this yields the correct header and footer, but no “Right Now” or widget content. A direct link to “…/wp-admin/” or “…/wp-admin/index.php” brings up the full dashboard.

I had my host server admin bypass mod_security rules for my account and now it all works. In my case that was definitely the culprit. It sucks to have to deactivate security features just to use WP 2.5, so I hope WP comes up with it’s own solution in an update.

Can you elaborate on the (.htaccess Auth…) part of your response? How does .htaccess create protection to your wordpress directory? My .htaccess file in my website root directory is blank.

I always replace all the folders except the wp-config. In fact, I always delete all the files first, then upload the fresh ones just to be sure there is no overwriting problems. Glad to hear that fixed you issues but I am still unable to upload images. Obviously there are many issues producing a similar eror here.
