[Plugin: Tweetbacks] Missing Tweetbacks

  • I’ve been running this plugin since the first WP.com release and to the extent it’s working it’s fantastic! Unfortunately there are a lot of tweets that I’m noticing even just in my own twitter stream that are not being “found” by the plugin and imported as comments.

    I have left the importer set to run every 15 minutes and I’m seeing no errors (where would I find them – is there a log?) and I am seeing some tweets imported … but there’s tweets which I think should be imported which aren’t. These can be seen in the regular twitter search function so they aren’t hidden or otherwise protected.

    The website is https://atmac.org/

    One example:
    https://twitter.com/museumfreak/statuses/1122663735
    Currently 23 hours old, references the page https://atmac.org/accessible-irc-clients/ without any URL shortening service but the tweetback hasn’t been picked up.

    Upon searching, I just realised that other examples mostly are of the form of shortened versions of https://OriginalPostURL?more_stuff_here. Is there any way I could set the plugin to look for these, given that the more_stuff_here is already known? It’s just the string “?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitter” I use for Google Analytics tracking of twitter stuff.

    Thanks for your help.

  • guess i agree – gave it a try the last couple of days but it seems that doesn’t even fetch main shorteners as tr.im or bit.ly. too sad ??

    Hey Joost – people are losing interest here! Any plans to improve the plugin? No point having over a million downloads if people are uninstalling ??

    i woo have problems with this plugins. no tweetbacks at all!

    FWIW I’ve finally given up and installed BackType Connect instead. It has the major disadvantage that most of the code runs on a separate server but on the plus side it actually works.

    :/

    I have had 33 tweets (32 owly) on a post and one have showed up (tinyurl.com).

    Joost, I’m going to uninstall.
