Hi there,
I've just upgraded from a working plugin to the new version. However, it no longer works. The version I have now is 2.1.3. In my sidebar, where it always worked, I now have text saying that Twitter is not working. :(
WordPress Version 2.8.6
PHP Version 5.2.8
Any idea why this could be happening?
Thank you

Unfortunately, there could be a few things that could cause this.
- It could be a slow connection from your host to Twitter. The solution for this is to increase the number of seconds to wait for a response from Twitter (default is 2). Unfortunately, if you do this then if it's slow your page will load slowly too.
- You could be bordering on your maximum number of requests per hour with Twitter. If this is the case you'll need to cut back on access to the account through other methods. The widget only uses 12 requests per hour, but if you also use something like tweetdeck, seesmic desktop, mobile twitter apps, etc they all use requests as well.
- Twitter could be having problems. You can't do anything about this, but it generally fixes itself if you just give it time.
- There could be a routing problem between your server and Twitter (and not between you and Twitter). Again, you can't do anything about this, but it resolves in time.
If these don't work, please post a link to your site.

Many thanks for getting back to me.
It seems to be working ok now. I don't think it was to do with maximum requests as I haven't been on Twitter at all since yesterday. Anyway, main thing is it's now working fine. :-)
Thanks again.
