# [Plugin: Tweet Old Post] API Error Message When Authenticating

 * Here’s what I’m getting in all the different browsers:
    ** Firefox: Firefox has
   detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way
   that will never complete.
 * **IE:**
    Nothing but a “This page cannot be displayed” once it authenticates 
   on Twitter and tries to redirect back to the blog.
 * **Chrome:**
    The webpage at [https://api.twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Foauth%2F%26TOP_oauth%3D1%3Foauth_token&#8230](https://api.twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Foauth%2F%26TOP_oauth%3D1%3Foauth_token&#8230);..
   has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing
   third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration
   issue and not a problem with your computer. Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS):
   There were too many redirects.
 * **Safari:**
    Too many redirects occurred trying to open [https://api.twitter.com/oauth/&TOP_oauth=1?oauthtoken…&#8230](https://api.twitter.com/oauth/&TOP_oauth=1?oauthtoken…&#8230);..
   This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which
   then is redirected back to the original page.
 * Would really like to use this!

 * I am having the same problem, I tried to change the twitter account in use then
   it’s now throwing me the same authentication error.

 * Guys checkout the FAQ for too many redirects issue. Let me know if you still 
   face the issue after following those steps in FAQ.

 * That was bizarre! I don’t understand why it worked but it did.
 * I made sure the page was showing the right URL in the TweetOld Posts settings
   page and did the “save” again as it suggested. Bang! It authenticated.
 * I don’t understand why it worked, but it did. Thank you!

 * This worked for me too. Simply saving the options – even though I hadn’t changed
   them – resolved the authorisation issue.

 * 🙂 that was because the plugin had to send the return url to twitter after authenticating
   which was not happening coz of various tweaks one can have on url e.g. changed
   permalink so had to go this way.
