 * Twitter requires everybody to use a new version of their API, and they will turn
   off the old one. This means that all Twitter widgets, including Jetpack’s, will
   have to use authentication.

 * Sounds like you pasted the shortcode into the ‘Visual’ view. Switch to the ‘Text’
   view (the tab at the top right corner of the main content field of your page/
   post) and try again.

 * You add the callback URL at [https://dev.twitter.com/apps](https://dev.twitter.com/apps)
 * The app you have to create at dev.twitter.com is a permanent thing, you can go
   back and add or edit details.

 * Further testing:
 * I have set up another test site using a different plugin. It works the same way(
   API 1.1, app via dev.twitter.com etc.), displays the same feed, and is set to
   the same parameters. It handles Emoji characters as expected, i.e. displays them
   on Safari/Mac, other browsers show an empty character:
 * [http://twp.antfarm.at](http://twp.antfarm.at) (Twitter Widget Pro)
    [http://rstfw.antfarm.at](http://rstfw.antfarm.at)(
   alternative)
 * Same story on Windows 7: browsers treat Emoji the way they do on Twitter and 
   via the feed, but Twitter Widget Pro displays “No Tweets Available”.
 * This is to further show that the issue is with Twitter Widget Pro, and not with
   the feed that is coming from the Twitter API. I don’t know the ins and outs of
   handling a feed that contains these characters, but it would be great to get 
   some kind of statement on this.
 * Unfortunately I can’t offer any help beyond testing – juggling character sets
   in JSON feeds is not really my field of expertise.

 * Just to confirm:
 * I have kept an eye on it the last few days – the issue is completely reproducible.
   It’s also consistent with what I first described a week or so ago – it’s just
   that the problem isn’t the age of a tweet as I first thought, but it seems to
   be the content.
 * I tested with several characters from different sets: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji)
 * Probably also worth noting: some people use Emoji in their username. [https://twitter.com/LizVeniz/status/312760372182523905](https://twitter.com/LizVeniz/status/312760372182523905)

 * I have – I tested it with several different Emoji characters.
    Example: [https://twitter.com/Rootside/status/312599644007976960](https://twitter.com/Rootside/status/312599644007976960)
 * …and it seems to take down the whole output of Twitter Widget Pro: as soon as
   I posted it, I got ‘No Tweets Available’ on [http://twp.antfarm.at](http://twp.antfarm.at)
   
   Without the Emoji-tweet, the output is fine.
 * To be precise: this googly eyes character works (on Twitter) in Tweetbot for 
   Mac, Tweetbot for iOS, and in Safari/Mac. Chrome/Mac displays a rectangle (ie
   the symbol for an unsupported character), and Firefox/Mac shows the character
   in the title bar, but a blank space inside the tweet content.
 * However, this is somewhat besides the point, because the problem is not really
   the display of the character itself, but that the whole output in Twitter Widget
   Pro seems to choke on it.
 * I don’t mind if unsupported characters aren’t being displayed – I wouldn’t even
   mind if the whole tweet gets passed over – but the ‘No Tweets Available’ for 
   the whole batch if just one of them contains an unsupported character, that’s
   pretty bad, I think.
 * Is there anything that can be done?

 * Update:
 * The widget – or the API – seems to choke on Emoji characters. I deleted a tweet
   containing Emoji, and the widget works as expected. When I add it again, I see“
   No tweets available”. Will keep an eye on it.
 * Aaron, any comments on that?

 * I agree: you can’t tell people to keep tweeting or else their site will go weird
   😉
 * And I second the thoughts about the plugin in general: it’s fantastic when it
   works – exactly what I’ve been looking for.
 * As for the issue itself, I’m happy to see someone else can reproduce what I’m
   seeing – perhaps Aaron can shed some light, or use this information to investigate.

 * toddswardenski:
 * I had a quick look – your client’s last tweet is from 6 March. On my test site,
   the widget also seems to choke on tweets from 6 March or older (as of today).
   It suggests a certain pattern.
 * (edit: I see you’re testing, and the newer tweets are showing on the site. I 
   wonder if you can recreate the behaviour that I am seeing: do all the tweets 
   disappear if you set the number of items to include an older tweet?)
 * It’s difficult to test, because if my guess is right and tweets that are “too
   old” take down the whole output, then people who tweet 3 times a day or more 
   will never run into this behaviour, even if they display the full 20 items.
 * Aaron – I’d be happy to give you access to my test site [http://twp.antfarm.at](http://twp.antfarm.at)
   if that helps at all.
