I’d like to add my voice to this. Same issue here.

You can use CSS to push the date to the top and move everything else down a bit.

The key would be to make sure that the date is kept in one single line (choose a short format and a small enough font size), so you know how far you have to push down the rest.

There are lots of resources and tutorials – a good way to start would be to search for ‘absolute and relative positioning’

Thanks, but no thanks.

At the moment (Twitget 2.1), I can’t even log into the test site without deleting Twitget. “PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /xxx/twitget.php:194) in /xxx/wp-includes/pluggable.php”

Sorry, but it’s just too unreliable.

PHP 5.3.10
WordPress 3.5.1
Twenty Twelve theme

Account is @antgriculture (Ant Farm)
Test site is https://twitget.antfarm.at

Exact steps:

1. Install the plugin
2. Add details: username (without the @), consumer key, consumer secret, access token access token secret)
3. Navigate to another page in admin, go back to Twitget settings: looks alright, settings still there
4. Add widget to sidebar, enter title (I tried different titles)
5. Check website: widget works
6. Go back (or reload) Twitget settings page: settings dropped, all fields show single random character: A, a, <, or unsupported character

Same issue with 2.0.1.

Yes – and the WordPress install is only a few hours old as well. No other plugins, nothing.

I checked via ftp if the plugin files are deleted, and re-installed. Same problem.

No, same thing (I’m getting fewer PHP notices, but I don’t know if that is because I’ve changed fewer settings).

But the version number is still 2.0, so apparently I’m not getting the latest version.

I’ve got the latest version (2.0?). Deleted and downloaded it several times, about 1 hour ago.

You can already set a custom title for the widget. Are you asking for another, second title for the stream?

Also, you can use CSS to display the custom widget title next to the profile image. If you’re not sure how, there are many HTML/CSS tutorials and forums that can tell you how it works. I suggest to search for ‘absolute and relative positioning’.

This is coming from the ‘Hide sending applications’ option in the settings. It should say ‘from Web’, or perhaps ‘from Tweetbot’ etc.

If it says ‘von &s’, it might mean that the Twitter app you’re using is identifying itself as ‘&s’, or (more likely) something is not working properly. I’m guessing it’s an error in the plugin’s translation files.

But you can select ‘Hide sending applications’ – that should make the whole string disappear, including the ‘von’.

I’m encountering this issue as well. The discussion on Twitter’s Dev pages suggests that it could be handled differently, and without any truncation.

Aaron, is this something you’re planning to look into?

Thanks

It’s not working because the follow button and the follower count are sitting in an iframe populated by Twitter. This section is basically a tiny website inside your website – the code isn’t coming from the plugin, it’s hosted on Twitter’s server. You can’t target it with CSS from your site, at least not directly.

The easiest option is to switch off the follow button altogether.

Displaying the follow button without the follower count would have to be managed via a setting in the plugin. Maybe that’s on the list for a future version – or it might be if enough people ask for it.

Cool, thanks for the update. I understand the nature of these things and I know that people are busy – I was merely wondering if this had slipped under the radar somehow.

In the meantime, good luck with the rest of 3.6

No comment at all?

Emoji is widely used on Twitter, I consider this a serious bug.
