    I have tried to install the Twitter feed and followed your instructions, 
   nothing appears if I try to use it as a widget or shortcode. I get the error –{“
   errors”:[{“code”:32,”message”:”Could not authenticate you.”}]} and I can’t find
   out why gagowen

 * Hi gagowen1,
 * Hmm, interesting. Are you sure you have generated all required Twitter Keys for
   your application and also generated a token? There should be 4 entries in all
   to input on the first settings page.
 * If so, is there anything in the debug logs (On the latest version of the plugin,
   click on the logs and then View Debug Log).
 * Thanks,
 * Dan.

 * I’m having this exact same problem. I have triple checked all the access keys
   and they’re correct. Nothing very useful in my logs:

 * Hi tljohnson,
 * Firstly, I would suggest removing the oauth keys from your above post – these
   should be kept confidential if possible 🙂
 * Could you please try the following and let me know if this resolves the issue:
 * 1. Open up the file wp-content/plugins/digicution-simple-twitter-feed/includes/
   dt-display.php
 * 2. On Lines 31 – 34, manually enter your Access Details here – ie:
 * $dt_twitter_oauth_access_token=’ACCESS TOKEN HERE’;
    $dt_twitter_oauth_access_token_secret
   =’ACCESS TOKEN SECRET HERE’; $dt_twitter_consumer_key=’CONSUMER KEY HERE’; $dt_twitter_consumer_secret
   ==’CONSUMER SECRET HERE’;
 * 3. Save the file and force an update on the plugin.
 * This will help me ascertain whether it is actually the encryption I’ve used that
   is the problem or whether there is something else causing the authentication 
   error.
 * Thanks,
 * Dan.

 * Hi, Dan…
 * Running v1.4.4 on WP v4.3.1, and I’m having the same problem. Nothings shows 
   up at all, whether I use the widget or shortcode in a text widget.
 * [andersonandpetty.com](http://andersonandpetty.com/)
 * I have tried regenerating and re-entering all 4 codes and forcing an update, 
   but still nothing shows.
 * I have also followed your steps above for the dt-display.php, but no change.
 * Any ideas what might be going on?
 * Thanks…

 * Hi Mowse,
 * Yes, this plugin has now been discontinued as I simply haven’t the time to support
   it. There are many other Twitter plugins in the directory that are able to perform
   the same functionality as this one 🙂
 * Thanks,
 * Dan.

 * Thank you, Dan, for your reply. Good luck to you.
 * This is a great plugin, though…If you find the time to update it, is there a 
   way to find out?

 * Hi Mowse,
 * No probs, I’ve had a few people request it’s continuation but I’m not sure yet
   as to whether I’ll be able to take the time to get it back up and running. I 
   may have some time in December to take a look at it but it needs a massive overhaul
   to bring it in line with new Twitter specs and my spare time will depend on work!
   If there is anyone out there willing to take on the project, the files are all
   GPL licensed so they are more than welcome to pick it up and branch it off 🙂
 * Cheers,
 * Dan.
