    I currently use v3.7.0 of the plugin which stopped auto posted our tweets to Twitter and will update now to to rebranded version of the plugin.

    Is there any extra steps we need to do to make it work again?

    Thanks

    When you install the update, it’ll show an admin notice directing you to add a bearer token, with instructions on what to do on the connection screen.

    It worked fine without the bearer token but we don’t manually send out tweets from the WordPress plugin. We just let it auto-post on publish.

    Is that as expected?

    I wouldn’t expect it to work without the bearer token; it shouldn’t.

    Well it worked yesterday.

    The only thing I did was update the plugin from WP Admin and noticed that an article was posted automatically to Twitter/X.

    I’m looking at my notes back when I set this up for this plugin (before the rebrand, it’s when I recorded all of the keys/etc to input into the plugin). I see a bearer token in my notepad but it’s not entered in the WP Admin Panel.

    Is it the same Bearer Token?

    How can I confirm it’s the v2 endpoint?

    Which endpoint is being used is controlled by the plugin. All posting to Twitter uses the v2 endpoint. I have no way of knowing whether the bearer token you saved originally is the same as the one you would use now, but it would only have changed if you went into your developer account at Twitter and generated a new one.

    So there was never anything to do on Twitter’s side (I’ve only set things up once and left it as is)? It was only the plugin that needed updating for it to work when it had stopped working before the plugin rebrand?

    Do I still need to enter the bearer token if it works? The plugin still has no bearer token entered via WP Admin Panel. Another post was published automatically today on Twitter so the plugin is working without it.

    Just wondering if there’s anything I need to do on Twitter’s side for v2. Or if I absolutely need to enter the bearer token (I guess I should enter it regardless?).

    I ended up entering the old bearer token. Let’s see if it still works.

    This is what my Twitter Dev dashboard looks like:

    I assume this is OK or do I need to re-create something?
