Hello hello!

Thank you for your enquiry.

Currently, plugin does not allow server cron to be easily setup, but I am sure we can find a work around… =)

The function that cron runs is available in TW_Cron class and is called ‘tweet_task’. I believe if you created a PHP file that has these two lines of code inside, it would work without any issues!

define( 'DOING_WP_CRON', true );
TW_Cron()->tweet_task();

Let me know if it works. I am really curious!

Should you have any other concerns, please open a new support ticket. I am marking this ticket as resolved due to long inactivity.

Thank you.

Oh I see what you mean.

There is no bulk tweeting at the minute. One time in the schedule equals one sent tweet. For example if you have only 8:00 AM as your tweeting time for each day, the plugin will send 7 tweets per week (1 per day at 8 AM).

Does that make sense?

Thank you for your suggestions. These are fantastic.

I am not sure we will be able to support custom shortening such as your own domain. However, if we add the Bit.ly support to Tweet Wheel you will be able to setup your own domain in your Bit.ly account and use that within Tweet Wheel. A small workaround, but as a reward for using Bit.ly you get pretty amazing analytics.

3. Last (and feel free to remove this as its ALMOST off topic), please remove the need for {{URL}} to be mandatory in a tweet template. That way, I could manually add my (or any) shorturl if I wish ??

I know for a fact we cannot do this. The reason it’s there is to prevent people from abusing the plugin. I would really love to believe in everyone’s good intentions, but I know for a fact there are users that would schedule random tweets not related to any post at all. It could result in Twitter banning Tweet Wheel app.

Another reason is to prevent people from complaining that a URL to their post wasn’t automatically appended to a tweet, which one would assume. Some may think that URL is being added automatically when a tweet is pushed to Twitter, which is incorrect.

There must be a validation. I am sorry.

However, if we introduce Bit.ly, bullet point number three will become irrelevant because you will use your own domain via them!

Hi there!

Twitter has introduced a few types of cards and we would like to address all of them at once:

1. Photo Card (which you meant)
2. Gallery Card (up to 4 photos)
3. Video / Audio card (should your post be a video or an audio podcast)

There are other Twitter cards such as Summary Card, but not sure if we will support this.

If you read the plugin description (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tweet-wheel/) at the bottom is our road map. It is a bit outdated, but Twitter Cards are top priority.

Hi there!

Yes, this is a fantastic idea and I have already thought about introducing this feature in next releases. Also I would like to add an option to from which custom post type to import those.

Incidentally, when you schedule posts to be tweeted, how far apart are they? A minute between each? Two minutes? A formula like “number of posts / 60 minutes = a tweet every “n” minute?

Not sure I follow your query here. Posts are being tweeted as per the schedule in Settings > Schedule. Therefore the interval between each tweet depends on the time set yourself.

Fantastic!

Are there any particular shortening services you would like to see within the plugin?

Hi Su,

Thanks for your feedback.

See my comments below:

* On the edit screen for a custom post type, it duplicated the publish/update button, for some reason.

It’s not necessarily our plugin on it’s own. Basically, due to required validation on tweet templates form fields, our plugin must hide a genuine public/update button and replace it with it’s own to hook in some validation rules. This is just WordPress’ lack of flexbility on this front.

Therefore my suspicion is that you already have another plugin doing the same trick (i.e. adding it’s own publish/update button) hence you see two of them: one is Tweet Wheel’s another one is someone else’s plugin, while the genuine one stay hidden.

Try on a clean WP installation and you won’t see duplicated button.

* On edit screens for (blog) posts and a CPT, it caused the main Text content box to always expand to the full height of all contained text.

Tweet Wheel has no impact on content box. This is default WordPress’ behaviour. Try deactivating the plugin and you will notice that editor’s content box works the same way.

Hope this clarifies issues ??

Hi there!

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. I will be happy to assist you all the way.

I understand the ‘Authorize’ button is not showing up and in it’s place you face this nasty error?

It seems like there is some snafu in regards to options plugin holds. Would you mind completely deleting the plugin and reinstalling it? It will make sure all the old settings are wiped out and new are reinstated.

Please let me know if it helps.

Hi!

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Can you make sure your hosting supports PHP 5.2 or above, please? it looks like your PHP version enabled on your server is too old.

Let me know ??

Hi there!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very glad you like the plugin! ??

Shortening URLs is on our road map. We would normally integrate Bit.ly API into the plugin, so it’s self-sufficient and doesn’t require any third party add-ons. We also don’t want users to be limited to just bit.ly, some may want to use other service providers. Hence, we want to take a little bit more time on this ??

Thank you for the suggestion. If you have some more, please direct them to us!

All the best

Hi Bart,

Posts are tweeted in the order from the top to the bottom i.e. next tweeted post will be the one at the top of the queue.

Once the very first post has been tweeted, you will see “recently tweeted” above the queue, which will indicate what has been sent purely for your information.

Enjoy!

Hope this helps ??
