    The shortcode won’t display images if tweet is longer than 115 characters. I’ve tried using the tweet_length and url_length variable, but neither of those will work. Here is the website URL: https://www.potomacpathways.org/. The feed is in the right column under News.

    Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

    Seth,

    Many thanks for highlighting this. What’s your shortcode? Have you set a tweet_length variable? What happens if you remove it?

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    My shortcode looks like this [rotatingtweets screen_name='potomacpathways' show_media='1']. I’m displaying it in the template with PHP.

    I’ve tried tweet_link but it only works when it is set to something less than 115.

    It is currently removed.

    Thanks for your help!

    You’ve found a new Twitter feature!

    It turns out that this issue is a consequence of the new longer Tweet that’s being introduced.

    There’s a new Tweet JSON format coming which should fix the problem and, with a bit of coding, allow Rotating Tweets to show the longer Tweets.

    Currently the information isn’t being sent through by Twitter: the Tweets are currently being truncated by Twitter – not by Rotating Tweets.

    Twitter’s announcement is here – although they don’t appear to have announced the time when this will be implemented yet.

    This is a more interesting problem than I expected. The Twitter API is sending back a new Tweet format! The truncated value is a new one on me!

    I need to investigate some more…

    Aha! There’s a new Tweet JSON format coming which should fix this. Twitter’s announcement is here – although there doesn’t appear to be a time for this yet.

    Currently Rotating Tweets is displaying everything that Twitter is sending through – e.g.
