 * So, great plugin! I got it “working” … or so I think.
 * On my sidebar, I can see the widget, I can see the tweet details (time/date/name/
   source), and if I change the display format, I can even see the profile pic of
   the account.
 * But no matter what I do, I am unable to see the actual text of the tweet, regardless
   of the display format. Even a copy/paste shows nothing from the widget.
 * Clicking on the details takes me to the correct tweet, so I know it’s updating.
 * Kind of lost on where to go from here.

   WIP, don’t judge me)
 * Thanks!

 * 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/](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](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rotatingtweets.zip)?

 * 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?

 * 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.

 * Cracked it.
 * Not all servers support the [‘u’ at the end of the regular expression](http://php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php)
   used to spot hashtags.
 * Rotating Tweets now spots this and uses a version of the code without the ‘u’
   if it spots the problem.
