Twitter Widget Issues

   Hello,

   My twitter widget often says "No Public Twitter Messages", despite the fact that I am a regular user and there are several public tweets available.

   It does work sometimes, but seems to fail more than it works. Wondering if there is any rhyme or reason to this, and some way to resolve this? I am considering getting an alternative plugin which will surface my tweets, but appreciate the styling of the one which matches my theme.

   Any suggestions?

   Hello Dbennett,

   I'm not really sure what could be going on. Sometimes twitter just messes up or is over capacity.

   I'm not sure if this will work but we can try it..

   First create a backup of your theme folder and then open up /wp-content/themes/infocus/lib/functions/twitter.php and on line 57 you should see this..

   $messages = fetch_rss('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$usernames.'.rss');

   Let's go ahead and change it like this..

   add_option('twitter-cache');
   $messages = fetch_rss('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$usernames.'.rss');
   if (is_wp_error($messages))
   {
   	$messages = get_option('twitter-cache');
   }
   else { update_option('twitter-cache', $messages); }

   If that does not work or if there is weird side effects then go ahead and copy over your backup.

   I am also having this issue since the wp upgrade. So far nothing has helped. :(

   Hello guys,

   We can also try increasing the cache time as Webtreats suggested in this thread, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/twitter-problem?replies=7#post-15977.

   Let's go ahead and continue in that thread.
