WP to Twitter

Do I have to have a Twitter.com account to use this plugin?

Yes, you need an account to use this plugin.

Do I have to have a Cli.gs account to use this plugin?

No, the Cli.gs account is entirely optional. Without a Cli.gs API, a "public" Clig will be generated. The redirect will work just fine, but you won't be able to access statistics on your Clig.

Twitter goes down a lot. What happens if it's not available?

If Twitter isn't available, you'll get a message telling you that there's been an error with your Twitter status update. The Tweet you were going to send will be saved in your post meta fields, so you can grab it and post it manually if you wish.

What if Cli.gs isn't available when I make my post?

If Cli.gs isn't available, your tweet will be sent using it's normal post permalink. You'll also get an error message letting you know that there was a problem contacting Cli.gs.

Why do my Twitter status updates show up labeled as "From WP to Twitter"?

Twitter.com allows API applications to register themselves with the service, so they can provide information about the source of your Tweet. WP to Twitter is a registered user agent with Twitter.com. The same effect is seen if you use any other registered Twitter client.

What if my server doesn't support the methods you use to contact these other sites?

Well, there isn't much I can do about that - but the plugin will check and see whether or not the needed methods work. If they don't, you will find a warning message on your settings page.

If I mark a blogroll link as private, will it be posted to Twitter?

No. They're private.

I can't see the settings page!

There’s an unresolved bug which effects some servers which causes the WP-to-Twitter settings page to fail. You can get around this problem by commenting out lines 191 - 256 in wp-to-twitter/wp-to-twitter-manager.php. (Version 1.4.0.)

Scheduled posting doesn't work. What's wrong?

Only posts which you scheduled or edited after installing the plugin will be Tweeted. Any future posts written before installing the plugin will be ignored by WP to Twitter.
