 * Hi, actually i am trying to configure the widget and when i save the data the
   Title and Twitter name fields goes blank and doesn’t work. The configuration 
   page has no errors with the consumer keys and token keys.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Problem solved, changed PHP version from 7.0.5 to 5.6.2 and it worked.

 * Thank you for letting me know!
 * There’s a small section of the code which uses indirect variables and I think
   that might be causing the problems (as per the [PHP 7 incompatibility list](http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php)).
 * If you’d rather use PHP 7.0.5, I’d be happy to upload a development version for
   you to test.

 * Hi Tod, thanks for your help!, yes sure, i can try with a development version.
 * Thanks again.

 * I’ve uploaded a development version which should fix the problem.
 * It also includes a test of selective refreshing when previewing the site, although
   there are a few situations where this breaks and rotation doesn’t restart after
   updating the options.

 * Have you had a chance to test it yet? And, if so, did it work?

 * Hi Martin – I just tried that development version with a PHP 7.0.7 and was able
   to get the settings to save correctly.

 * Howdy, I wanted to chime in that I had the same exact issue (PHP7 compatibility),
   and the new dev version of the plugin worked for me. Thanks!
