Title: Disaster rewrite Last modified: September 2, 2016 --- # Disaster rewrite * [Scipio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scipio/) * (@scipio) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disaster-rewrite/) * new version rewrite is a disaster. post+page is the default selection. no other options available. cannot exclude certain pages from tweets. Links are only tweeted rarely and randomly. guys, when you rewrite, don’t stuff it up. It’s really a bad plan to think people will buy the “pro” version to get back what has now been taken off the free version. Really bad.

In the last update, we should automatically get just posts into consideration. * Thread Starter [Scipio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scipio/) * (@scipio) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disaster-rewrite/#post-7849057) * Hola, let me clarify the issues: 1) When ‘post+pages’ is selected, it is possible to exclude categories of posts from being tweeted. But one cannot select pages to be excluded. It would make sense to retain that feature: not all pages are tweetable content. To only tweet posts would mean relevant content in pages would have to be omitted. Whereas before that it was possible to select individual posts and pages for exclusion, now it is not. And it is exactly this flexibility which made your plug-in so useful. 2) Adding links to the tweets sometime works, sometimes not. I’m baffled. A tweet without a link cannot really drive traffic. * Plugin Author [WPShout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeinwp/) * (@codeinwp) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disaster-rewrite/#post-7849058) * Hi, * 1.With the post+pages is a misunderstanding, we actually tweet just posts in v 6.6 even if you have posts + pages ( this was automatically pulled from the old plugin), is just a visual glinch. * 2. Regarding the links, I fully agree, unfortunately all of my tests worked fine, all the tweets are going out with their proper links. It will be great if you can assist with debugging and see a pattern here. * Plugin Author [WPShout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeinwp/) * (@codeinwp) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disaster-rewrite/#post-7849059) * Hi, * Any news here ? Still have the links issue ? any pattern ? * Thread Starter [Scipio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scipio/) * (@scipio) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disaster-rewrite/#post-7849060) * Hi, cannot get links to work. No discernable pattern there. * Deactivated new version, and went back to old plugin 4.0.10. Because the capacity to exclude individual pages and posts is a must, otherwise I’ll have some very ugly & boring tweets. (The new version does display ‘excluded pages’ in a block, but I suppose that is a dead remnant from the database and does not apply anymore. Please clarify.) * But, if I understand correctly, V 4.0.10 uses the old twitter API? Because now it cannot authorize with twitter. Checked code with bit.ly, that seems to be ok. * So for now, no more tweets from my blog. * What I do not understand – why do you make a rewrite/update, and in fact, it has less features and is a downgrade? Confusing… * Do you plan to make these features (exclude individual posts & pages) available again? * Let me point out – this was one of the top plugins, very useful, and simple to configure. Now it’s useless, at least from my perspective. * So I’m not griping out of spite – I just lost an important functionality. And that hurts. * Plugin Author [WPShout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codeinwp/) * (@codeinwp) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disaster-rewrite/#post-7849061) * Hi Scipio, * Thank you for the feedback, I will investigate a bit what can be the links issue, but it might be related to your wordpress installation also, since I tweeted 100 times today and all with links . * In this version I have decided to remove pages simply because I don’t find it useful, I am not downgrading, it’s just useless 99% of the time to tweet pages so I wanted to simplify the plugin. * We did the rewrite because the code was really old and there was a lot of warnings of functions that might dissapear in the next wordpress/php update so the plugin would simply dissapear, instead I chosen to invest 1 month of our time re-building it to make sure it will last for another 5 years on the market.
