Rootside

I went through all kinds of settings, and now I see the following:

• If I set the number of items to 1, 2, 3 or 4, the tweets show consistently, no errors – at least at the moment.
• If I set the number of items to 5 or higher, I either get ‘No Tweets Available’, or they show on the first reload and disappear again thereafter.
• Tweeting (adding a new tweet to my timeline) increases the number of “working” items: up to 5 items show, setting it to 6 results in ‘No Tweets Available’. And so on.

This pattern suggests that something in the process seems to choke on older tweets (about 6 or 7 days old), and the widget fails to display even the newer ones.

I hope that helps – might also explain why so few people seem to experience this issue.

Switched on WP_DEBUG:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/twitter-widget-pro/wp-twitter-widget.php on line 869
The same for lines 1149, 1150, 1153 and 1155

Behaviour is consistent:

• I get “No Tweets Available” (and the above notices), but the follow button with the correct username is showing
• when I change a setting, I see my tweets (and no warnings or notices) on the first reload. I reload the page again, and they’re gone
• changing settings doesn’t always have that effect: it seems I need to wait a while to recreate this behaviour

Clearing update locks: “There were no locks to clear!”
Rate usage looks okay, nowhere near the limit

Same here.

Thanks

I don’t have a problem – I have a possible solution.

Just bumped into this myself. It’s being discussed here:
http://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/14380

Looks like a fix is on the way for the next version, but there seems to be some disagreement over how it should be done. There’s a reason why WordPress shoehorns an inline style in there (see trac ticket), but it’s an awful solution, there must be a better way.

There’s no clean and simple way to override this in your theme’s stylesheet (you could target .wp-caption.alignleft in your stylesheet and give that a width of 300px !important, but ONLY IF you always insert left-aligned images at the medium size). It’s not even a fix, more like an awkward temporary workaround.

I’d suggest living with it for now, and see if there’s a fix in WordPress 3.2. Or you can try stuff like this:

I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know if it catches all instances etc.

Had a quick look at both versions. Merge them now, because the similarities and the unfortunate naming of the fork will lead to tons of confusion.

Nobody cares how much time you have spent on either version, but people will appreciate and support a solid plugin.
