# HashTags Functionality

 * I have the on [my blog](http://www.faithandhealthconnection.org/blog/) in the
   lower right footer area.
 * I would think that Clicking on any hashtag, would result in a window opening 
   that shows other tweets by people using the same hashtag, but it does not.
 * If you click on #Affirmation, it brings up [this page on Twitter](http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23Affirmation).
 * Whereas, within my Twitter account, when I click on the same hashtag in the same
   tweet, I receive [this correct page](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Affirmation&src=hash).
 * Is there something in the plugin that needs to be corrected?
 * Thanks!

 * I am having the same problem. I just went into the wp-twitter-pro.php file and
   changed Line #742 to
 * ‘href’ => ‘[https://twitter.com/search?q=&#8217](https://twitter.com/search?q=&#8217);.
   urlencode( $matches[2] ),
 * It may be wrong, but it worked. (I’m a definite noob to PHP.)

 * i went into the file from FTP — changed that line… loaded it back to the folder…
   and it caused mu whole site not to function. Wierd!
 * I deleted the Plugin and reinstalled it…. back to square one. ;-(

 * Good catch. It seems that Twitter has changed from using search.twitter.com/search
   to just twitter.com/search for hashtag urls. I have updated the URL and it will
   be included in the next release. If you want to try out the development version
   with this change included, you can download it here: [https://github.com/OpenRange/twitter-widget-pro/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/OpenRange/twitter-widget-pro/archive/master.zip)

 * Thanks Aaron. Well done! I have put just the php file of the development version
   into the plugin folder and the hash tag search is working now. Appreciate your
   responsiveness.

 * The new version that I just released (2.5.2) includes this fix. Thanks for catching
   the problem and reporting it.
