The changes to Twitter mean that the section that calls off data is going to need to be rewritten.

I’m planning to take out the necessary $100/month subscription (just to test it!) and give it a go.

Hi Ben,

I’m going to bite the bullet and sign-up for a $100/month developer subscription to get this working with v2 of the API.

Whether and how that will work to enable wider deployment will be one of the things I try to discover. It may be that an individual developer or website owner needs their own subscription.

I have the same issue. Let me experiment.

Rotating Tweets may be a victim of the new chargeable model of access to Twitter APIs

Aha! I closed and reopened the browser and got the same thing.

As far as I can tell, the pbs.twimg.com link to the icon is blocked as a tracking cookie.

Since it’s valid HTML, I’m not sure what we can do. I don’t think I could add default image caching to the plug-in – it would need to be opt in.

Does it help if you use the https:// link?

I can’t replicate this in Edge – and I can’t find a similar setting in Chrome. Which browser are you using?

offset=0 is the default value, so it shouldn’t have any effect in that case.

What are you expecting to see that you’re not seeing?

The issue is that jQuery is being loaded twice on the pop-up iFrame generated by Download Manager – once by Download Manager (as far as I can tell – via hard-coding – which is generally not a good idea) and once by Rotating Tweets (which uses the ‘official’ WordPress wp_enqueue_script method for displaying jQuery and is triggered via a wp_footer() call).

There are three ways to fix this that I can think of:

• Download Manager loads jQuery and other scripts into the iFrame using the standard WordPress methods, ie. wp_enqueue_script()
• Download Manager removes the 2nd loading of jQuery from the footer on iFrame pages – by adding something like this (though only on the pages where the jQuery load is hard-coded – or they’ll break loads of other plug-ins):

  function wpdm_dequeue_jquery() {
  	wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery' );
  }
  add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdm_dequeue_jquery', 100 );
  

  It may take a bit of experimentation to get the add_action() setting right.

• Rotating Tweets detects that Download Manager is present and that it’s on a Download Manager iFrame and decides not to load jQuery (which is doable – but the other two methods will ensure that Download Manager plays nicely with loads of other plug-ins, not just Rotating Tweets).

That’s intriguing. I’ll see what I can manage.

Could you copy what you’re seeing in the console into a reply?
