# Loses all settings

 *  Resolved [Rootside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rootside/)

 * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loses-all-settings/)
 * Testing this plugin on a fresh WordPress install:
    – everything untouched, default
   theme – WP_DEBUG turned on in wp-config.php
 * PHP Notices after saving the settings:
 * Notice: Undefined index: twitget_show_powered in /xxx/twitget.php on line 365
   
   Notice: Undefined index: twitget_use_custom in /xxx/twitget.php on line 370 Notice:
   Undefined index: twitget_before_tweets_html in /xxx/twitget.php on line 378 Notice:
   Undefined index: twitget_tweet_middle_html in /xxx/twitget.php on line 379 Notice:
   Undefined index: twitget_tweet_end_html in /xxx/twitget.php on line 380 Notice:
   Undefined index: twitget_after_tweets_html in /xxx/twitget.php on line 381 Notice:
   Undefined index: twitget_after_image_html in /xxx/twitget.php on line 382 Notice:
   Undefined index: twitget_before_profile_html in /xxx/twitget.php on line 383
 * Notice: Undefined index: show_relative_time in /xxx/twitget.php on line 545
 * Notice: Undefined index: title in /xxx/twitget.php on line 640 (on the Widgets
   admin page)
 * PHP notices are usually nothing to worry about, and the widget works at first.
   But when I then return to the settings page, all checkboxes are ticked, and ALL
   fields are populated with the same random, single character. Usually a or A, 
   sometimes an unsupported character.
 * And this breaks the widget, of course:
    Fatal error: Cannot use string offset
   as an array in /var/sites/t/twitget.antfarm.at/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
   twitget/twitget.php on line 208
 * I’ve deleted and re-installed the plugin a few times, but the behaviour remains
   the same: it happens every time, after I add the widget to a sidebar.
 * As bugs go, this is huge – I’ve never seen a plugin drop its settings like this.
   I hope you can find the problem.

 * Sorry about that. Could you download the latest version again and try again?

 * I’ve got the latest version (2.0?). Deleted and downloaded it several times, 
   about 1 hour ago.

 * Try again, I’ve just commited some minor modifications.
 * Tell me if the notices and the error still appear.

 * No, same thing (I’m getting fewer PHP notices, but I don’t know if that is because
   I’ve changed fewer settings).
 * But the version number is still 2.0, so apparently I’m not getting the latest
   version.

 * You’re installing from scratch, and the A’s appear in all your fields when you
   add the widget?

 * Yes – and the WordPress install is only a few hours old as well. No other plugins,
   nothing.
 * I checked via ftp if the plugin files are deleted, and re-installed. Same problem.

 * Please try 2.0.1.
 * I’ve installed a fresh version, added a widget and it worked.
 * I’ve also updated from a previous version and it also worked.

 * Could you tell me the exact steps you went through before the settings got filled
   with random characters? And your twitter account username?

 * Account is @antgriculture (Ant Farm)
    Test site is [http://twitget.antfarm.at](http://twitget.antfarm.at)
 * Exact steps:
 * 1. Install the plugin
    2. Add details: username (without the @), consumer key,
   consumer secret, access token access token secret) 3. Navigate to another page
   in admin, go back to Twitget settings: looks alright, settings still there 4.
   Add widget to sidebar, enter title (I tried different titles) 5. Check website:
   widget works 6. Go back (or reload) Twitget settings page: settings dropped, 
   all fields show single random character: A, a, <, or unsupported character

 * Rootside, I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue, but I’ve made some changes.
 * Please try the development version and report back – [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/twitget.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/twitget.zip)
 * If it still doesn’t work, please send me your keys (consumer, secret etc.) on
   email – you can get my contact info here – [http://bostjan.gets-it.net](http://bostjan.gets-it.net)
 * Cheers.

 * Thanks, but no thanks.
 * At the moment (Twitget 2.1), I can’t even log into the test site without deleting
   Twitget. “PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent
   by (output started at /xxx/twitget.php:194) in /xxx/wp-includes/pluggable.php”
 * Sorry, but it’s just too unreliable.
