 * Done everything. Connected, but getting this error message when creating a post:
   “
   401 Unauthorized: Authentication credentials were missing or incorrect.”
 * Besides, I can’t find this setting on Twitter apps:
    “Application Type should
   be set on Browser”

 * Yesssss. Succeeded!!!
 * It’s important to set the Application Type Access to “Read and Write” and only**
   AFTER THAT** we have to request a token.
    The token’s access level inherits the
   App’s access level. I had to delete my app and create a new one because revoking
   the app in Twitter was in vain. It didn’t “release” the token in my app. Now 
   it works flawlessly. I’m going to use it with bit.ly.

 * Thanks for noting that – I’ll add that detail to the instructions in the plug-
   in.

 * Thanks Hunor and Joe: I encountered this same problem when trying out the plugin,
   and was very relieved to see that there was a simple fix.
 * This is an excellent plugin, incidentally: I regret staying on WordTwit for so
   long.

 * In the twitter app settings. This is not set inside the plugin, only at twitter.
