All of my sites are hosted on the same dedicated server if that’s what you’re asking.

Twitter must be displaying different options for different accounts or different browsers. “Connections” is omitted from the nav bar on my screen. I tried with Mac FF and Safari and it does not display. The other six options are there; connections is not.

I reduced my password to exactly six alphabetic characters and it worked. I then changed it to 7,8,9 and more characters and that error message returned. Furthermore, it would give the error if there was a single special character (!@#$…) or a number in the password! Even if the password was again reduced to six characters. Definitely a bug that needs to be worked out with TT.

So to recap, the solution that allowed me to use Twitter Tools was to use a 6-letter lowercase alphabetic password.

This plugin doesn’t work. It’s going on 3 hrs now. I tried every suggestion in this forum, even created a new twitter account and fresh installation of wordpress. It continues to give this error:

Sorry, login failed. Error message from Twitter: This method requires authentication.

Furthermore, to quote the The HollywoodSouth Blog about the “Connections Tab”, there is nowhere in any of my twitter account to access such a tab. Login>Settings>Connections does not exist. Yes, I can login and goto Settings, but there is nothing about “Connections”.

AAHHH! I couldn’t figure out why there were all these posts about pregnancy and baby crap appearing in my twitter account and then a little google search shows this plugin is nothing more than a spam injector. The developer even has an account at BlackHatWorld (repeat BLACK-HAT-WORLD!) where he announces this!

Is there any reason this thing hasn’t been pulled from the WordPress repository? Even though the user has the “option” to disable the spam posts, it continues to post them anyway!

That’s what I was worried about. Unfortunately, they have to be hierarchical and I’ve been unable to find a plugin to get around this. ??

Thank you for that. I will try the “page” route.
