# Cannot use/authenticate Twitter

 * Hey, hope you can help. I’ve been using Tweet Old Post for a while now, but since
   the upgrade it just won’t work right. Authenticating my Twitter account is impossible
   as the page goes grey and the wait wheel appears, and this is all that happens.
 * I have managed to authenticate Facebook, and this works, but Twitter is very 
   important to my strategy.
 * I’ve attempted to downgrade to the old version, but this won’t tweet at all now.
 * I’ve checked wp-cron is true and added define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true); to 
   wp-config
 * Server is running PHP 5.5.9
 * Hope someone can help!

 * _**Astonished **_that no one has responded to this query.
 * Also, I sincerely hope no one considers this “bumping”. I’ve been awaiting a 
   fix, never mind a response, for a month. A wait without acknowledgment of this
   sort is unacceptable.
 * As a writer with expertise in blogging, I’ve recommended this plugin online and
   offline (in a WordPress bookazine in the UK) so not only am I frustrated by the
   lack of a response, I’m pretty annoyed that anyone who followed my advice is 
   also likely to be frustrated.
 * This is, simply, not good enough.
