Ray Walker I have the same problem. Newest version of wp and no other plugins activated. All the twitter. Api key info set correctly as well... Blog posts do not go to twitter! Bummed! Help please!
Renee Dog I also have the same problem. Posting to Twitter from Wordpress simply fails with no error.
I'm using the latest version of Wordpress (3.2.1) and Studiopress (Galileo 1.7.1). The manual "update tweets" button also fails to do anything.
According to this, "just not working" can be fixed by making sure your server time is correct: http://wphelpcenter.com/plugins/twitter-tools/#faq_b4535f7abf87acd79004dc37c9d7f684
Personally I have no control over the server time so this does not help me much :/
Renee Dog Checked server time anyway, within 1 second of each other. So that's not the issue.
Renee Dog Ha! Figured it out. It was my bad.
After you create your application with the Twitter api, DO NOT immediately create your access token. Instead, go to "settings" and change the application to "read and write." If you skip this step, the default is "read only" and you will not be able to post anything to Twitter. You can see if this is your problem by going to your application and seeing if it says "Access level read only" under "Your access token."
To fix this, you have to delete the whole application from the Twitter API since you can't delete and recreate access keys. Create a new application, this time making sure you set the application to "read and write" in the settings tab before creating the access key. Then in the wordpress you'll need to go to the plug-in and disconnect from Twitter. Then you'll need to reenter the new information from your new application.
If that doesn't work then you might want to check your server time. If it is >5 minutes different from Twitter's system time it won't work until you fix your server time.
Tony Zeoli @renee_dog,
I almost did as you suggested. Instead of deleting the app from the Twitter Developer Center, I noticed my access token was read only. I simply clicked "Recreate my access token" to generate a new one, and that changed me to Read and Write from Read only.
