I seem to be having the same problem: “you need to authorize you Twitter accounts”.
username & password for twitter are correct, have the latest version of Twitter Widget Pro. I did not adjust any of the settings, this message suddenly appeared. Same response is given: “Could not recognize the response from Twitter”, when I type in the username & password again. At the affected site the twitter widget keeps on saying “loading tweets”.
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, any suggestions anybody?
thanks in advance!
Same problem here too. Glad I’m not alone. Eager to find a solution.
check out the other posts in the support page, seems that lots of people have sort-of the same problem. @ team of Twitter Widget Pro: please read your support page or fix this!
dear wordpress support!
please tell your colleagues at twitter to fix their troublesome widget-problem!
There is no “wordpress support”. Only this free, volunteer-staffed forum.
Hey, I’ve solved the problem with the help of this step by step-instruction:

For some reason I got space (blank) at the start of my consumer key and consumer secret when copying & pasting them into my WordPress screen. Don’t know, but maybe you should have a look there, too.
Will not let me authorize either, I get this message from Twitter:
The request token for this page is invalid. It may have already been used, or expired because it is too old. Please go back to the site or application that sent you here and try again; it was probably just a mistake.
Suggest using: Really Simple Twitter Feed Widget.
It just works!
I had the same problem. I solved it by placing a *VALID* Callback URL (just use your site URL) when creating the app in Twitter.
Good luck!
