Where are the Tweet for Download Shortcodes

[Pamela]

Hi,

Can you tell me where to find the shortcodes and/or instructions on how to use this plug-in?

I found the info on how to set up a twitter app for it but the link on the plug in pages does not go to to a page that explains how to use it. It actually just takes me to the Tips and Tricks home page. I searched from there and can’t find it. It’s probably staring right at me!

Hi Pam, Please see this documentation which has the usage instruction:

Thanks!

So I’ve spent a couple of hours before resorting to writing again.

I am getting this error message…

There was an error connecting to twitter, probably a consumer key/secret issue.

Of course, I checked and re-checked and deleted and started over. I’ve studied the instructions, etc.,

I realize you can’t see all of my settings and my twitter app but I thought you may have dealt with this error over and over.

Thank you, Pam

Hi Pam, This usually happens if something when wrong with the APP creation. Please make sure you have correctly configured a callback URL in the twitter app. Do the following:

i) Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps click on your application

ii) Click the Settings tab

iii) Enter your website URL in the WebSite field.

For example: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/

iv) Enter your website URL in the Callback URL field

v) Hit the “Update this Twitter Application’s settings” button to save.

Hi Ruhul,

Thanks for the response. I did that, just added the www. Seems I get the same no matter a www prefix or not.

I also changed the web site in my twitter account to the site in question, booksbypam.com.

I have a static page at the root, the home page. I just now created that (using your great instructions for a custom page template to make sure that wasn’t an issue.

Of course, the consumer key and secret were copied an pasted.

Thinking of deleting it and starting over but I have already done that once to no avail.

When copying and pasting text, make sure no invisible characters or whitespace went along for the ride; especially trailing spaces.

Hi wzp,

I did find hitchhikers. I was excited to find them but got the same error when I deleted them. Refreshed browser, gave it time, etc., No cigar.

Nice spotting though!

Hi Pam, Looks like your server is having some difficulty with the twitter API code. We applied the tweaks mentioned in the following pages and that worked.
