phenomblue

b-summers, have you tried manually navigating to https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/phenomblue.rss (replacing phenomblue with your twitter username) to see if the API call works?

Thanks leonelcamara-iam, that was very helpful! You forgot to update $message[‘pubdate’] to $message->get_date() though so it was throwing an error if the $update flag was enabled. Here’s a version with that fix:

function twitter_messages($username = '', $num = 1, $list = false, $update = true, $linked  = '#', $hyperlinks = true, $twitter_users = true, $encode_utf8 = false) {

	global $twitter_options;
	include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

	$rss= fetch_feed('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/'.$username.'.rss');

	if ($list) echo '<ul class="twitter">';

	if ($username == '') {
		if ($list) echo '<li>';
		echo 'RSS not configured';
		if ($list) echo '</li>';
	} else {
			if ( is_wp_error($rss) ) {
						if ($list) echo '<li>';
						echo 'No public Twitter messages';
						if ($list) echo '</li>';
			} else {
				$messages = $rss->get_items(0, $num);

				foreach ($messages as $message ) {
					$msg = " ".substr(strstr($message->get_description(),': '), 2, strlen($message->get_description()))." ";

					if($encode_utf8) {
						$msg = utf8_encode($msg);
					}
					$link = $message->get_permalink();
					if ($list)
						echo '<li class="twitter-item">';
					elseif ($num != 1)
						echo '<p class="twitter-message">';
		          	if ($hyperlinks) {
		          		$msg = hyperlinks($msg);
		          	}
		          	if ($twitter_users)  {
		          		$msg = twitter_users($msg);
		          	}
					if ($linked != '' || $linked != false) {
			            if($linked == 'all')  {
			            	$msg = '<a href="'.$link.'" class="twitter-link">'.$msg.'</a>';  // Puts a link to the status of each tweet
			            } else {
			            	$msg = $msg . '<a href="'.$link.'" class="twitter-link">'.$linked.'</a>'; // Puts a link to the status of each tweet
			            }
		          	}
		        	echo $msg;

		        	if($update) {
		        	    $time = strtotime($message->get_date());
		        	    if ( ( abs( time() - $time) ) < 86400 ) {
		        	        $h_time = sprintf( __('%s ago'), human_time_diff( $time ) );
		        		}
		        	    else {
		        	        $h_time = date(__('Y/m/d'), $time);
		        	    }

		        	    echo sprintf( __('%s', 'twitter-for-wordpress'),' <br/><span class="twitter-timestamp"><abbr title="' . date(__('Y/m/d H:i:s'), $time) . '">' . $h_time . '</abbr></span>' );
		        	}
					if ($list) echo '</li>';
					elseif ($num != 1) echo '</p>';
				} /* end foreach*/
			} /* close else */
		}
		if ($list) echo '</ul>';
	}
