    Hello!

    Twitter is indeed removing their API which provides URL share counts. Unfortunately, the SMT plugin relies on that API and when Twitter disables it there will be no way to count Twitter shares with this plugin. Nobody knows when Twitter will disable the API, but supposedly it will happen sometime in October.

    I haven’t heard of an alternative option to find out the number of Twitter shares, but if anyone knows of a way to do so please let me know so that this plugin can be updated! Otherwise Twitter will have to be removed from the SMT plugin =(

    Here is some more information from SharedCount, a similar service that also relies on this Twitter API: https://www.sharedcount.com/notes/twitter_api_shutdown.php
