Problem retrieving data from Twitter

Is SSL switched on or off in your settings?

I’ve tried it on and off but neither work, I’m afraid.

I am running this on localhost but other twitter plugins pick up the tweets fine. They just don’t look as cool as yours.

Have you tried using the Core Control plug-in to see how the different transports work? It may be necessary to switch off cURL.

Alternatively, you can test commenting in line 1840:

add_filter('use_curl_transport', 'rotatingtweets_block_transport');

I have tried commenting line 1840 but still no joy.

I’ve installed the Core Control plug-in but I have to confess, I have no idea how to use it.

PS. I’ve also enabled/disabled cURL through php.ini with no change to the problem.

Go to /wp-admin/tools.php?page=core-control (or look for Core Control under the Tools menu) and enable HTTP Access Module 1.0.

Then click on the HTTP Access Module 1.0 link at the top of the page and test the various transport options.

Disable any of them that don’t work.

Then try the Rotating Tweets plug-in again.

All working now! Thanks so much for your time and fast replies! Great plug-in.

Hello. Have the same problem. Creating site on localhost. IF SSL to NO – “WordPress error code: http_request_failed – Resolving timed out after 3526 milliseconds”. If SSL to YES – Widget says “Problem retrieving data from Twitter”. Have trying different options – nothing. Have install Core Control – there is everything ok…
Debug didn’t show problem with this widget.
Help pleae. How i can fix it?

Sounds tricky. With debug switched on and SSL switched on, did you see some extra comments in HTML comments?

can’t understand. in what html comments? i see button “follow twitter” and numbers of followers from my account, but there are no tweets.

Please ‘view source’. You should see some comments in the code that explain what the problem is.

where i can see it?

Look for id="rotatingtweets on the page… the code should be just after that if WP_DEBUG is set.
