Someone who uses “register via Twitter” is registered successfully but is given a default (dummy) email address. The problem with this is the email containing their username/password is sent to the dummy address. Users cannot login in future via email and password as they will have no idea what their password will be as this is randomly generated. They will always have to use the Twitter login button to sign in.
Is there a way to grab their Twitter email address on registration? Just like the profile picture, username and name are grabbed from Twitter? Couldn’t email address be grabbed on registration too?
This will ensure valuable emails get sent to a valid address from the start.
]]>Once Twitter authenticates and redirects back to the ‘application’, I get an empty array ($userinfo), which results in:
An error occurred while trying to retrieve your Twitter username. Please try again.
Is this a result of Twitter’s API updates? If so, any plans to catch things up? If not, what’s going awry?
Thanks!
]]>How do I allow the user to change their email address? Right now there’s a default email address that gets put into place but it’s not correct. When I login via Twitter and then go to the member profile to change the email I do not have permission. It says that I do not have the correct password even though I am using the password that I login with via Twitter.
]]>there is a simple GET request to grab original sized avatars
https://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image?screen_name=$username&size=original
i swapped out all your image links and entered that …but for some reason its still grabbing the small images and using your links…what gives?

]]>look like author is using old code for user data
please replace get_usermeta().

I use the last version of WP et budypress
the registration with twitteraccount@twitter as new user account works fine, but with BP the published twitter account is twitteraccount@twitter and not twitteraccount

]]>I am experiencing a strange problem. A user of my site (BuddyPress) have an account whose user name is “auto_standingtwitter.” One day the options of “mentions” and “private messages” stopped working.
In a first analysis, I thought the problem was the “_”. Then I realized that it originally worked.
Analyzing the problem, I found the user changes his account name on Twitter. This caused something odd about BuddyPress:
– The user profile is kept the old name.
– But if I go into the WordPress settings (user section) the new name appears.
I guess that caused the error. My question is if you have any suggestions to solve this case where a user changes his name on Twitter.
Any additional information please ask me.
Thank you. Best regards!
]]>I’m using Twit Connect with Buddypress, all works great except after a twitter login the user is redirected to the WP profile page instead of the home page, say. Can I change this somewhere? Thank you!
]]>I’m scratching my head over this one. I can log in with no problems in Firefox 5. I can’t however log in via Safari 5. What’s even more strange is that if I register a new account with Safari 5, it registers, but I am never actually able to view the admin. It just keeps redirecting me back to the login screen again. I’m set to launch a site very soon with this feature – can anyone suggest any possible debug methods?

Many thanks for an awesome plugin,

A new user gets generated successfully with Twit Connect, however the user can’t login via Twitter. It keeps redicrecting to wp-login no matter how many times I try…
WordPress. 3.1
BuddyPress 1.2.8
does anyone know the code i could use in my theme to call the login button?
]]>Is there some reason using get_avatar( $id, 32) wouldn’t work? I see in the user profiles that the images have been pulled from Twitter but when I try to display them in the front-end I get the default grayed out avatar. The avatars work next to comments, just not in other places around my templates.
Ideas?
]]>Hello,
I’am using on WordPress 3.0.1. and BuddyPress 1.2.6 and it’s work normally to create an account, but, when I use to login, it say the “X” account already existe.
The users can’t use it to make login? They will need to use the login and password normal system?
thx
]]>I setup a new WordPress blog and installed this plugin again but the button does not display.
The text instructing them what to do displays but the button does not.
This is my third time installing this plugin. First two times everything worked fine but this one = no button.
Any ideas why the button would fail to display?
Thanks
]]>does the plugin try to connect the twitter profile with a local wordpress profile? if not does it then create a new wordpress profile?
