WP to Twitter having issues with YOURLS

    Hello,

    WP to Twitter plugin is working, YOURLS short link set-up is also working, but for some reason I’m having issues making my YOURLS work with WP to Twitter plugin.

    I’ve linked my YOURLS to the plugin through API, but for some reason, it always showed some form of an error.

    For example, when I try to publish a post, WP to Twitter tweets but with the full URL. The plugin then shows this error:
    The query to the URL shortener API failed, and your URL was not shrunk. The full post URL was attached to your Tweet. Check with your URL shortening provider to see if there are any known issues.

    When I press “Test WP to Twitter” button on the plugin settings page, it shows this error:

    WP to Twitter was unable to contact your selected URL shortening service.
: Error code: YOURLS response is not an object

    How can I fix this?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for reporting! I have one other report of this issue, as well – it’s a problem introduced in 3.4.5, and I’m not yet totally sure what it is, but I’m currently investigating and will release an update as soon as I get it fixed.

    Hi @joedolson, thank you very much for your speedy response.

    When I first set-up my YOURLS maybe 3-5 days ago, the plugin is actually working, but the short url generation suddenly stopped.

    I set-up a new YOURLS, fixed the PHP Version issue, fixed my website’s SSL and used a previous version of the plugin, but all of it seems to be not working.

    Hoping for a solution to this soon,
    Thanks!

    New release (right now) should address this.
