    I’m trying to archive my tweets in WordPress and display recent ones in my sidebar. I’ve installed the Twitter Tools plugin, configured it, and added its widget to my sidebar. Twitter Tools is creating blog posts for each of my tweets, so I know it is authorized by Twitter successully. However, the sidebar widget just displays “No tweets available at the moment.”

    I’ve tried the procedure described here to uninstall and reinstall Twitter Tools to no avail.

    I’m also using the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin to exclude the tweet posts from my feed and homepage. I’m worried that might be the problem but others seem to be using this setup successfully. Any ideas?

    No, the problem is this functionality of the plugin is now broken as a result of Twitter’s move to OAuth. I have been trying to get info to see if there are any plans to have it fixed but it doesn’t seem likely now.

    As it stands now, it is only possible to sends tweet notications of new posts, but as far as the sidebar widget and other features go, you’re SOL. Although I am starting a new thread to see if anyone else had the same problem but if they were able to resolve it on their own.

    I kept digging on this because the widget is working fine on the plugin author Alex King’s blog and I found that the Twitter Tools widget depends on a table called wp_ak_twitter. I didn’t have this table, probably because my WordPress database user doesn’t have create table privileges. I create the table by hand and now the widget is working.
