[Plugin: Twitter Tools] Posting @replies when it shouldn’t

@replies are tweets that begin with @username. Is that what you are seeing included?

Yes. I’ve used Twitter Tools off and on since the first release. You might not remember me, but I sent you some potential mods for Twitter Tools a long while back! What I am seeing are replies of the form @x — see the front page here: https://washyourbowl.com/blog/ (I’ll leave one for you).

The exceedingly strange thing is that I looked in the DB options and see this:

| 414 | 0 | aktt_exclude_reply_tweets | 1 | yes |

So it is really odd! I was hoping there might be some known strangeness before I start delving in even deeper.

I tried enabling and disabling various other options (enabling sidebar tweets, wdiget, etc) and all acted normal. It’s just the @reply thing…

Also, when I run a query with the condition used in the code directly:

select * from wyb_ak_twitter where tw_text NOT LIKE '@%';'

I get the expected results!

And one more clue: when I use the widget, it DOES exclude the @replies — I’m starting to think some other plugin is conflicting here…

Thanks– looks like that did it… I was on the verge of figuring it out for myself!
