That’s very odd. There’s no text in the HTML so something is going very wrong here.
Has anyone edited the plug-in?
What does lines 1386-1387 show? It should be something like:
# This is the original Rotating Tweets display routine
$result .= "\n\t\t<p class='rtw_main'>$main_text</p>";
I’ve tested your account at http://www.martintod.org.uk/blog/ and it seems to work!

No edits there. I did install the widget from within WP, rather than uploading a zip. Nothing else has been changed, aside form a few widget settings, which I made multiple changes to with no effect.
At least I know I’m not completely crazy. 🙂
I even went as far as to try different templates, and moving it out of the sidebar to other parts of the site, and it had no effect.
It’s very odd.
What I don’t understand is why that would be the only element of the content that gets dropped!
Can you try the latest development version?
The new version had no effect, and is still currently running on the site if you want to have a look. No changes, all defaults. I used the same twitter app and OAuth codes as before.
Just as a test, I tried another widget for the feed, and it shows up correctly. I just wanted to verify that my APIs were working properly. It doesn’t rotate as I would like, so I’d prefer to use the rotating widget, but at least I know it works.
I’ve thrown a nuclear option into the code in the development version.
Can you give it a try?
Sure thing, just use the previous link again?
I’ll give it a shot once I get home.
Thanks for the outstanding support! Not easy to find good service anymore.
Just got the new version installed, and it appears to be working perfectly!
I’ll throw some new tweets up later and make sure it updates properly, but at this very second, I couldn’t be more pleased.
Excellent. I’ve done an updated development version with a LOT of diagnostics in it that should help us fix the root problem.
Can you have a go with it? When you’ve installed it, please let me know and I’ll go and have a look at the HTML to see if I can see what the problem is.
Martin,
I have installed the most recent dev version and it is currently running on the site. I have also removed/deactivated all the other twitter plugins so there would not be any confusion.
Let me know if there is anything else I can to to help find the root cause!
Many thanks. It’s still a very odd problem.
I’ve created another development version which I’ve uploaded – and should properly solve the problem (making links work etc.).
Do you mind giving it a go?
Martin
Just loaded it, it’s live now.
That’s great! We’re closing in!
Can you upload the latest development version? This has a fix that should make your links work properly.
Done and done!
Links appear to be working at the moment.
Cracked it.
Not all servers support the ‘u’ at the end of the regular expression used to spot hashtags.
Rotating Tweets now spots this and uses a version of the code without the ‘u’ if it spots the problem.
