## FAQ

#### Why am I receiving Twitter API limit exceeded messages?

This is most often due to write permissions. Please ensure write permission have
been applied to the folder the cache files are to be created in.

The default for this is /wp-content/uploads/

wpTwit will create a sub-directory called twitter to store the cache files required
for this plugin.
