Tweet count, username link incorrect

    Hi

    http://cavistons.com/news-and-events

    That’s the page I use your plugin on.

    As you can see it is only showing 4 tweets when I set it to show 5.

    Also, the username link is wrong. It takes the Twitter Profile name (Cavistons Food Emp.) to be the username, when it should be @cavistons. Thus, the link leads to a twitter page not found. I put cavistons as the username in the shortcode parameters.

    Could this be because I told the twitter feed not to load the latest version of bootstrap? I had to do that because it was distorting my site.

    Appreciate any help.

    In the plugin’s options page, under Caching and performance, turn on “Force Tweet Count”. This will make Twitter return the right tweet count (this is needed since Twitter treats the count as an “up to” number). Note that if you turn this on, it is preferred that you turn on the caching as well.

    About the user name, you are absolutely right. This is an error that will be fixed in the next version (thank you for pointing it out). If you don’t want to wait, just change line 47 in view/StaticTweetsView.class.php to:

    'screen_name' => $tweet->getScreenName(),

    And that’ll fix it for ya!

    Thanks very much! that fixed both issues for me.

    One more thing: the ‘Show media’ button won’t work for me. Nothing happens when I click it. Is there a fix for that too?

    It appears that your theme, or perhaps one of your plugins, is automatically adding <p> tags to the widget area, which interferes with the “Show Media” button’s behavior. It also alters the appearance of the widget (notice that the the user/screen names are not leveled with the avatar as they should be). Try disabling other plugins or changing themes to see if that helps.

    Let me know if found the cause for that issue.

    I was using the shortcode instead of the widget.

    I switched to using the widget and everything works fine 🙂
