# Do I need Elevated access?

 * Hi,
 * We are paying customers for WP2 Social Auto and works perfectly so we thought
   to try to use the free version for Twitter as well. I have tried everything and
   nothing works.
 * First the logs showed the message :
    statuses/update : {“errors”:[{“code”:89,”
   message”:”Invalid or expired token.”}]}
 * After reading the forums I regenerated the tokens and now we get the Elevated
   access error:
    statuses/update : {“errors”:[{“message”:”You currently have Essential
   access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access
   to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer 
   Portal. You can learn more here: [https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve&#8221](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve&#8221);,”
   code”:453}]}
 * So my question is do we have to apply for elevated access or not? If yes that
   is fine if that helps to get it to work. If no need for it then any ideas will
   be appreciated.
 * Regards
 * Tassos

   from Step 10 ) Publishing APi(media upload)is not supported in V2 so we are using
   V1 api in WP Twitter Auto Publish. Hope this helps.

 * Thanks for your reply but the App has been setup using OAuth 1.0a with OAuth 
   2.0 inactive and all settings are correct and look exactly like the guide.
 * The only difference in the account is that I can see that under Products shows
   API2 with a green dot which means is active but I never did anything to activate
   it.
 * Is there a way to deactivate it?

 * Please regenerate the tokens after settings change and use it in the plugin settings.
   If you want to turn off OAuth 2.0, click on the toggle button next to it.
    Hope
   this helps.

 * Sorry that didn’t help. I had already done it but tried it again but the result
   is the same. Any other ideas?

   If the token is generated with read and write permission and v1.0 is enabled 
   then it will work without any issues. Please check it and let us know,if the 
   issue persists.

 * I am pretty sure that everything is setup correctly but will be glad to prove
   me wrong 🙂
 * I have three screenshots below so you can see the settings yourself:

   [Section you can see that it is read and write ](https://www.stalbansvillagemarket.com.au/wptwitter/jeyssection.jpg)
   [Section where you can see that V2 is disabled and 1.0a is active and read and write](https://www.stalbansvillagemarket.com.au/wptwitter/editsection.jpg)
 * Thank you for your time it is appreciated and any ideas will be great as Twitter
   is not helpful at all.

 * Hi, Sorry for been a pain but really need to resolve this.
 * I have tried everything and as per screenshots all settings are correct. I have
   now deleted the app on twitter and recreated just in case something went wrong
   there. That didn’t help either and the error is still the same.
 * So my final question before I give up on it, if I do ask for Elevated access 
   would it matter to the plugin itself? If it would make no difference then I can
   ask for it and see what happens but if the plugin would not work then there is
   no point in doing so.
 * The only other thing that I have forgot to mention and my apologies for that 
   is that I use wordress 5.9 but didn’t think that would make a difference.
 * Please let me know.

 * There is no issues regarding the WordPress version and your settings also seems
   to be OK.
    We have created a new app just now and it worked without any issues
   and you don’t need any elevated access .Plugin is still using v1 API since publishing/
   upload media is still not supported in v2. We would like to suggest you to cross
   check the access tokens entered after the permission change and check publishing
   with a new post. If post logs still showing the error ‘You currently have Essential
   access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access
   to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer 
   Portal’ then please contact our support desk with screenshots of the post logs
   and link to this support thread. Thank you.

 * Hi, still the same with the same error telling me to get Elevated extra access.
 * I have now tried pretty much everything. I have now tried the following:
    1. 
   Create App 2. Regenerated access token (few times) 3. Deleted and created new
   App 5. Regenerated access tokens as well as API keys 6. Tried a different website(
   in case something was wrong with this site) and yes did make sure that the website
   was correct in Twitter settings
 * It is still the same and somehow I have the feeling it is a Twitter issue. The
   only other thing that I didn’t mention is that when I created the App (both times)
   the App was limited by Twitter straight away. Both times I had to contact twitter
   and they reactivated no problem and after that the APP seems to have no problem.
 * I can understand that you have no idea either why that happens which is fair 
   enough 🙂
 * Anyway I will just keep trying.

 * ok just did one more test and now is even more weird. Effectively I wanted to
   see if twitter will recognise the tokens in the first place or if it gives the
   error because it does not.
 * As such I regenerated the tokens and then tried to post again but without updating
   the tokens on the plugin. Then it gave me the error “statuses/update : {“errors”:[{“
   code”:89,”message”:”Invalid or expired token.”}]} ” That clearly indicates that
   the website connects just normal and Twitter recognises that the tokens are no
   longer valid.
 * After that I updated the tokens on the plugin to the regenerated ones and of 
   course then the original error message came up that I need Elevated access.
 * So I do not think that there is any other test left to run but if you think of
   any let me know.

 * We are planning to release a new version of WP Twitter Auto Publish , with approved
   app option.
    In which we provide user to use either their own app or our approved
   app(a hosted solution) to avoid app creation issues. This feature comes with 
   a 30 days free trial, you can try it if you are interested. If that works for
   you then there might be any issue with your own app. If you wish ,you can contact
   our/twitter support desk.
