 * For about 20h from now plugin is not working. There is no tweets published and
   in settings page is info:
 * “Not able to validate access to account, Twitter is currently unavailable. Try
   checking again in a couple of minutes.”
 * What is wrong?

 * Ok it is.
 * I have just change all api-URLs tp https and now it’s working.
 * Workaround till an update is comming:
 * edit the wp-twitter/modules/p1/oauth-twitter.php file an add an s to the http(
   s):// URLS:
 * define( ….. ‘[https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token&#8217](https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token&#8217););
   
   define( ….. ‘[https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token&#8217](https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token&#8217););
   define( ….. ‘[https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize&#8217](https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize&#8217););
   define( ….. ‘[https://twitter.com/&#8217](https://twitter.com/&#8217); );
 * And
 * $url = ‘[https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json&#8217](https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json&#8217);;
 * in the update function.

 * Sadly not working on version 3.5.1 as the whole of the authentication box is 
   missing from the settings page.
 * The error shown is:
    ‘Not able to validate access to account, Twitter is currently
   unavailable. Try checking again in a couple of minutes.’
