WP to Twitter does extremely minimal writing to the database, so I'm pretty surprised to hear that you're having problems with your database in relation to the plugin. </p> <p>The only database writes WP to Twitter does are it's own settings and a few items of post meta data on each post.</p> <p>So, if you're experiencing a large bulk of database writes from the plugin, I'd really like to know more. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/333803#post-1287960 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:44:10 +0000 csigncsign 1287960@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Bad plugin, makes your database really huge!</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-to-twitter/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-to-twitter/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/324687#post-1273306 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:51:17 +0000 garethooper 1273306@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Plugin still does this with 1.5.2 </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/316391#post-1266016 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:19:07 +0000 andr87 1266016@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It's in the custom tweet text and it only happened with bit.ly service.

// wp-to-twitter.php; Line 231</code></p> <p>Some of jd_truncate_tweet() arguments like the title string for example are generated by jd_twit() that already perform urlencode() on them:</p> <p>for example:<br /> <code>$thisposttitle = urlencode( stripcslashes( strip_tags( $_POST[&#39;post_title&#39;] ) ) ); // wp-to-twitter.php; Line 354</code></p> <p>utf8 hebrew chars regards as special chars which the function urlencode() replace by percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits.</p> <p>For example: the char א replaced by: %D7%90</p> <p>Therefor mb_strlen( $post_sentence ) doesn't returns the actual sentence length but the encoded one.</p> <p>As said this miscalcuation causing (for example) omitting of the post title and I believe other problems as well.</p> <p><strong>Bug Fix:</strong><br /> Replacing <code>mb_strlen( $post_sentence )</code> with <code>mb_strlen( urldecode( $post_sentence ) )</code>:</p> <p><strong>Original:</strong><br /> <pre><code>$str_length = mb_strlen( $post_sentence );

I just realized that I've submitted my query in the wrong place, regarding the wrong plug-in. I was asking about TweetThis, and I see that this thread is for a different plug-in. </p> <p>My apologies. I'm off to investigate replacing TweetThis with WP to Twitter. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/319590#post-1252902 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:17:24 +0000 quisp 1252902@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I installed this plug-in because it seemed so much simpler than TwitterTools. The "tweet this" function seems to be working just fine, but the auto-tweet of all new posts to my twitter feed is not working, and that function is more important to me. I think I have all the settings correct, and just this morning I re-named the tt-config-sample.php to tt-config.php (d'oh!), but it is still not working. What else should I be checking?</p> <p>Thanks! I really do appreciate all the work that goes into developing and maintaining WP and its plug-ins. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/319590#post-1247027 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:05:57 +0000 johnbatdorff 1247027@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Joe,</p> <p>I'll add the url code to the custom tweet and see how that works.

The only way to add the URL to a Tweet is to incorporate the shortcode - either in your custom tweet or in your Tweet default text. </p> <p>It used to be that if you had the option 'add URL to Tweet' checked, the URL would automatically be appended to the custom Tweet, but this has been changed in the latest version. </p> <p>I'm not sure where you're getting the parenthesis - I followed the link from your Twitter account and I don't see it showing up. ? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/319590#post-1244554 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 03:13:18 +0000 johnbatdorff 1244554@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Another odd thing...and it's probably at my end...I'm not sure.</p> <p>I checked the tweet that was sent.
