I have the same question. Although the plugin appears to be working with WP 4.1 I’m not confident everything works as it should and this is the nicest plugin over here.
Also, an url shorthening option would be awesome … to leave the space for a higher number of words to be shared. And coupled with that another setting to specify the number of words the plugin can pick from the shared text. I’m always in the situation to select a text bigger than the number of the tweet available caracters.
Hi @mzdesign, what problems are you experiencing with 4.1?
@ckubs What do you think might not be working as it should? I can look into any issues.
Concerning the URL shortening feature, this is something I am not planning on adding, since Twitter already shortens URLs, and already has a feature in place for helping users shorten tweets that are too long. However, since this is an open source project, I will accept pull requests for those features here: https://github.com/josiahsprague/quotable-wp/
Here you can see what happen at the Quotable plugin with the 4.1 version of WordPress

When you select a portion of text to share works everything except the @ who remain empty (the test was done here – http://www.hypnosistrainingacademy.com)
@mzdesign Have you installed WordPress SEO and defined a Twitter account for your site? The @ tag won’t work without that.
@josiah Sprague I thought, not being marked as WP 4.1 compatible, the plugin is not compatible with it and some tweaks have to be made here and there. Well, I guess they aren’t and the plugin works.
About the pull request, I’m not to familiar with them as I’m not much a developer. I want to ask you something, though. I don’t knoiw if it’s good or bad, but, what file I need to edit to at least change the picked URL from mywebsite(dot)com/my-article-url to WP short url, mywebsite(dot)com/?p=123, the ID version of it?
And, how can I disable the plugin complettely from showing on my pages? I don’t really need it on pages and it has a small conflict or something with my theme style. It works ok on both articles and pages but on pages it generates a gap under my footer and it may not be that big of an issue but it drives me nuts. Disabling it from the post edit screen it just makes it not active on pages but is not complettely removed and the gap is still there.
@ckubs Changing the URL from mywebsite(dot)com/my-article-url to mywebsite(dot)com/?p=123 won’t fit any more text into the tweet, since Twitter automatically shortens all URLs.
If you want to disable the plugin on a page, edit that page, and find the “Quotable” section on the page editor, and check the boxes to disable the plugin for that page.
I don’t know what could be causing the gap. It could be a CSS conflict with the theme, or it may not be related to the plugin at all. If you give me a link to the website that you have the plugin installed on, I can take a look for you. Otherwise, try to inspect the CSS, and see if your theme has any styles that are being applied to the #quotable-toolbar element.
