| | Hi Everyone, I installed twitter widget pro onto my blog and it was working just fine until yesterday when I noticed that my default message (Twitter is currently Over Capacity – please check back later or click the twitter link above (t) has been on display instead of my tweets  . When I login to twitter or click on my twitter button on my blog page it shows that twitter is not overcapicty ![Surprised]( "Surprised") ', '1');" src="/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-surprised.gif" alt="Surprised" /> or down in any way. I'm not sure why my tweets are no longer showing with twitter widget pro  . Please help me! Thanks  Buffy |

| | Unfortunately getting the "Could not connect to Twitter" error could be a lot of things: - 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.
