Title: Does not tweet automatic posts Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Does not tweet automatic posts * [dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) * (@dicknet) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/) * New version of Wordtwit does not appear to tweet automatic posts. Using FeedWordPress, I collect posts from XML feeds periodically and post them automatically to WordPress. The old version of Wordtwit tweeted these posts beautifully, but the new version does not. * I have enabled the advanced option “Tweet automatically when content is generated by other plugins…” – no help. * When you look at the post, the Wordtwit window says the post was tweeted, but it wasn’t. * Please help or advise what I’m doing wrong. Thx. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordtwit/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordtwit/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [BraveNewCode Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravenewcode/) * (@bravenewcode) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844191) * Hi, * To stay in compliance with Twitter’s terms, each post tweeted by WordTwit requires some sort of user interaction, meaning it won’t post tweets automatically in batch, etc. * The option to tweet posts generated by other plugins is for setups where a third- party application is used to publish (individual tweets), like Mars Edit for example. * Thread Starter [dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) * (@dicknet) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844257) * I’m sorry, but I’m having trouble understanding your answer. * Given what you said above, I don’t understand why the option “Tweet automatically when content is generated by other plugins…” even exists. Does the code have a list of plugins it will play nice with and ones that it won’t? * That issue aside, the fact remains that the Wordtwit window on each post in question says that Wordtwit tweeted it, when in fact it didn’t. I would call this a bug. * [nerdydillinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nerdydillinger/) * (@nerdydillinger) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844291) * Also experiencing this issue. * Upgraded to latest version on Thursday. Automatic tweets worked for about a day. * Currently widget says “1 Tweeted”, while Publish Status in Tweet Log reports “ Failed”. Happening for both Manually posted and Scheduled posts. * [tom coady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomcoady/) * (@tomcoady) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844358) * Just upgraded to find publish Status in Tweet Log reports “Failed” 🙁 * [tom coady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomcoady/) * (@tomcoady) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844359) * Resolved 🙂 I think I authorised/added my twitter account from wp-admin/admin. php?page=wordtwit_account_configuration before setting the API to permit Read AND write, so try removing and re-authorising if you have this issue – it will save you hours 🙂 * [atdblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atdblog/) * (@atdblog) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844370) * Thanks Tom and the plugin author. I think your resolutions should be prominently displayed in the plugin installation instructions, especially for non-developers: * 1. During setup, add your website home page url to the Callback URL, or on the Settings tab if its forgotten in setup. And … * 2. After setup is complete, go to the Settings tab and change the Application Type from Read Only to Read and Write. * Now WordTwit publishes to my Twitter account. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) * (@dicknet) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844385) * I followed all the suggestions above, but all my tweets simply say “Failed”. Status in the log is Failed as well. No explanation, just Failed. Not helpful. * [tom coady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomcoady/) * (@tomcoady) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844387) * [@dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) , [@atdblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atdblog/) missed one step – you need to reauthentic by removing and re-adding your account after setting up the twitter api read/write permissions * Thread Starter [dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) * (@dicknet) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844389) * [@tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tom/), I noticed that in your earlier message, so had already done that. Didn’t seem to help in this case. * [tom coady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomcoady/) * (@tomcoady) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844391) * [@dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) sorry to hear that * [nerdydillinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nerdydillinger/) * (@nerdydillinger) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844393) * [@dicknet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicknet/) Hey, do you know see it happening for posts that are scheduled to be published or for manually published posts? * Plugin Author [BraveNewCode Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravenewcode/) * (@bravenewcode) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844411) * > I don’t understand why the option “Tweet automatically when content is generated > by other plugins…” even exists. Does the code have a list of plugins it will > play nice with and ones that it won’t? * The option is to have WordTwit tweet posts that are added using other plugins/ applications like Mars Edit – [http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/](http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/) * It will not publish tweets generated from post scrapers and such, there always needs to be a user action in publishing the post for the post to be tweeted by WordTwit. * [alexcurylo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexcurylo/) * (@alexcurylo) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844423) * It seems to also post as new tweets when you update a post using another application too. The old version didn’t do that 🙁 Is there some trick I’m missing to only post tweets for new posts, not edits? * [Fanaticweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fanaticweb/) * (@fanaticweb) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844424) * I’m having the same issues mentioned above: Tweets shows as tweeted yet log shows Failed, when I attempt to tweet it manually, it fails as well. In my case, posts are published by subscribers, I tried all the gibberish of Deauth/Reauth, Deact/ React to no avail, is this goodbye? * Plugin Author [BraveNewCode Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravenewcode/) * (@bravenewcode) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-tweet-automatic-posts/#post-3844442) * Hi, * > The old version didn’t do that 🙁 Is there some trick I’m missing to only post > tweets for new posts, not edits? * What application are you using to edit posts? * You can try disabling the option to automatically tweet posts that are from third- party applications. * > Tweets shows as tweeted yet log shows Failed, when I attempt to tweet it manually, > it fails as well. * Try resetting your custom Twitter app’s keys and then add the new keys and reconfigure them in WordTwit. Note that you will need to re-add the Twitter account as normal.
