I’ve used this widget on other sites, so I know how to set it up. For some reason on this site I am currently working on, the widget works when I first set it up, but almost immediately after it stops getting tweets. I can see the title that says “Random Tweet”, however, the part where the tweet should be is blank. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, double checking all the settings and information including the API, API Secret, etc.. Any help would be appreciated. https://wordpress.org/plugins/random-tweet-widget/ Hi, are you using some cache plugin? Thanks for the quick reply! No, I am not. The only plugins that are active are: Contact Form Integrated With Google Maps Page Links To Random Tweet Widget Slideshow WP Construction Mode WP RSS Aggregator WP RSS Aggregator – Excerpts and Thumbnails I actually deactivated everything to see if there was a conflict, and had the same problem. I had then deactivated Random Tweet Widget for awhile and then reactivated it, it worked for 1 tweet then when I refreshed it wouldn’t work anymore. I feel like it has something to do with the “Choose among how many tweets”… If I change the number it will work 1 time, then go blank when I refresh. I tried a bunch of different numbers for it, ranging from 1-200 and nothing helps. Anyone have any suggestions? I’ve got the same problem, but I have caching set up through .htaccess. <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg “access 1 year” ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access 1 year” ExpiresByType image/gif “access 1 year” ExpiresByType image/png “access 1 year” ExpiresByType text/css “access 1 month” ExpiresByType application/pdf “access 1 month” ExpiresByType text/x-javascript “access 1 month” ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access 1 month” ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access 1 year” ExpiresDefault “access 7 days” </IfModule> ## EXPIRES CACHING ## I assume if I can shorten the default caching for the widget that will solve the problem, I just don’t know how to do that. Hopefully you can see the problem on the righthand bar at eigenmotion.ca… upon second load of the site you just get “- @eigenmotion , 1970/01/01” where a random Tweet should be. I’ve had the same problem with this plugin. It seems that when I update the widget settings, I can refresh my page and see the random tweet. However once I refresh again or go to a new page, the widget doesn’t show up. I’ve got next to no programming experience, so if anyone has figured out a simple solution to this issue, I’d love to hear it!
