 * Hi,
    Since when do you get this error? Probably some twitter api downtime.

 * Not sure what that could be, I just did a test with twitter and works for me.
   
   I’d suggest you to drop your twitter app and recreate new one. Twitter help:

 * Please make sure to enable it in ‘Read and Write’ mode.
 * Also if you have the possibility a good test would be from another wordpress 
   install, preferably another hosting..
 * Thanks

 * We resolved this (well found out what the problem was), ths issue was that the
   Twitter API would not work with the `{SHORT_URL}` message format.
