 * Hello,
 * I know twitter api changed, but I have not made any changes in WP to Twitter 
   options, so I guess I always used https. I always get this message now when posting/
   updating. Any ideas if I should enable something? I`m on a VPS server.
 * Thanks

 * First, you should verify that you’re using HTTPS. It’s under the Error Messages&
   Debugging section of the WP to Twitter settings.
 * An unrecognized response code means that your server was unable to reach Twitter
   at all, so it did not receive a response. This can happen for many reasons, but
   if you’ve been able to use WP to Twitter in the past, it may be a temporary situation.
   If you’ve made any server changes recently, however, it may be worth reviewing
   those, in case they broke something related to making remote requests.

 * I`m using https. The plugin worked until this morning (10 in the morning, GMT
   +2).
    I`m not sure what do I need to install (if any) on my server. I read various
   websites that specified CURL SSL, which I checked in apache config and is installed.

 * That should be sufficient, but there still could be other reasons – Twitter blocking
   your server or c-block of IPs, etc.
 * Can your server contact other external services, such as the WordPress plug-in
   API, to install new plug-ins?

 * Seems that there was a problem with my server contacting external services. I
   could not update or install any plugin. Now it`s all back to normal, thanks for
   the support.
 * By the way, as a future feature request: Can you make an option to skip just 
   once (basically this time) the twitter update for a post?
 * Thanks

 * You can already do that – just flip the option to not Tweet the post in the WP
   to Twitter meta box when you publish.

 * I know that, but that option will be checked next time. I manage like 5000 posts
   and update many of them at a daily basis. 99% of the cases I forgot which one
   I checked not to tweet and I`m too lazy to check the meta box each time. So just
   a "don`t tweet this time” radio button will be really cool.
