    Widget is randomly bombing and displaying serialized data rather than the correct HTML display data.

    HTML being produced:

    <aside id="latest_tweets_widget-2" class="widget widget_latest_tweets_widget">
    <h3>Latest Tweets</h3>
    <div class="latest-tweets">
        a:3:{i:0;s:1077:"
        <p class="tweet-text">Boom! ... It's <a class="twitter-hashtag" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BeyondTangyTangerine&src=hash" target="_blank">#BeyondTangyTangerine</a> time! </p>
    </div>
</aside>

    Specific Tweet that is breaking the Widget:

    After posing another Tweet, the HTML output looks like this:

    <aside id="latest_tweets_widget-2" class="widget widget_latest_tweets_widget">
    <h3>Latest Tweets</h3>
    <div class="latest-tweets">
        a:3:{i:0;s:286:"
        <p class="tweet-text">yikes!!! <a href="http://fb.me/1Ji63Jek5" target="_blank">fb.me/1Ji63Jek5</a></p>
        <p class="tweet-details"><a href="http://twitter.com/youngevity/status/375332486429282304" target="_blank"><time datetime="Wed Sep 04 19:00:12 +0000 2013">2 minutes ago</time></a></p>
        ";i:1;s:1077:"
        <p class="tweet-text">Boom! ... It's <a class="twitter-hashtag" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BeyondTangyTangerine&src=hash" target="_blank">#BeyondTangyTangerine</a> time! </p>
    </div>
</aside>

    I can’t reproduce this error, I’m afraid. Including that exact same tweet.

    My plugin uses WordPress’s built-in “transient” cache and does no serializing or deserializing of tweet data itself.

    It’s possible that WordPress is being it’s usual clever self and deciding for you that the serialized string is actually not a serialized string, so not deserializing it. If I could reproduce the error I’d start by debugging the maybe_unserialize function, but I’m afraid I can’t. Perhaps someone else on this forum can.

    If you had APC installed, this would be used instead of WordPress caching, so my suggestion would be to install APC if you can.
