Widget doesn't get tweets.

    I’ve used this widget on other sites, so I know how to set it up. For some reason on this site I am currently working on, the widget works when I first set it up, but almost immediately after it stops getting tweets. I can see the title that says “Random Tweet”, however, the part where the tweet should be is blank.

    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, double checking all the settings and information including the API, API Secret, etc..

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, are you using some cache plugin?

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    No, I am not. The only plugins that are active are:

    Contact Form Integrated With Google Maps
    Page Links To
    Random Tweet Widget
    Slideshow
    WP Construction Mode
    WP RSS Aggregator
    WP RSS Aggregator – Excerpts and Thumbnails

    I actually deactivated everything to see if there was a conflict, and had the same problem. I had then deactivated Random Tweet Widget for awhile and then reactivated it, it worked for 1 tweet then when I refreshed it wouldn’t work anymore.

    I feel like it has something to do with the “Choose among how many tweets”… If I change the number it will work 1 time, then go blank when I refresh. I tried a bunch of different numbers for it, ranging from 1-200 and nothing helps.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I’ve got the same problem, but I have caching set up through .htaccess.

    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On

    ExpiresByType image/jpg “access 1 year”
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access 1 year”
    ExpiresByType image/gif “access 1 year”
    ExpiresByType image/png “access 1 year”
    ExpiresByType text/css “access 1 month”
    ExpiresByType application/pdf “access 1 month”
    ExpiresByType text/x-javascript “access 1 month”
    ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access 1 month”
    ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access 1 year”
    ExpiresDefault “access 7 days”
    </IfModule>
    ## EXPIRES CACHING ##

    I assume if I can shorten the default caching for the widget that will solve the problem, I just don’t know how to do that.

    Hopefully you can see the problem on the righthand bar at eigenmotion.ca… upon second load of the site you just get “- @eigenmotion, 1970/01/01” where a random Tweet should be.

    I’ve had the same problem with this plugin. It seems that when I update the widget settings, I can refresh my page and see the random tweet. However once I refresh again or go to a new page, the widget doesn’t show up.

    I’ve got next to no programming experience, so if anyone has figured out a simple solution to this issue, I’d love to hear it!
