Wow, that’s pretty harsh to rate something one-star when you’ve never used it, don’t you think?

I understand you’re slightly frustrated to download a plugin that will only work with Theme Blvd themes. But, to be fair, I try to make this as clear as possible; it is stated on the plugin’s page in bold and tells you in your WordPress admin immediately after installing.

Is that really a reason to attack the author and their business?

Hello,

I’m looking at the search API now, and it does appear you can query the Tweets by language.

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweets

However, I am trying to keep the plugin’s options as lite as possible, and so I’m not sure something like this would be necessary. Wouldn’t, in most cases, your search terms or hashtag being in a certain language bring back results in that language?

I don’t personally do anything outside of English and so I am genuinely asking. Maybe the world outside of English in regards to Twitter is much more cumbersome?

But assuming the search API on Twitter’s dev site is correct, you could filter all of Tweeple query’ing from Twitter like this from your theme’s functions.php or your own plugin something like this:

function my_tweeple_request_params( $params ){
	$params['lang'] = 'en'; // Your ISO lang code
	return $params;
}
add_filter( 'tweeple_request_params', 'my_tweeple_request_params' );

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

Did you try clearing the Twitter feed’s cache at Tools > Tweeple > Twitter Feeds?

What kind of Twitter feed are you displaying? A user timeline? Or some sort search query?

And do you mean in the Widget or Shortcode? Opposed to no longer talking about the layout builder element?

This update has been published.

I actually wanted to thank you for posting this topic because when I read it yesterday, it sent me down some interesting avenues with the plugin and Twitter API in general.

Apologies that I haven’t posted on this topic yet. I’m currently working on a couple of extra functions for developers to add to the plugin wanting to do to stuff like this in their own themes or plugins utilizing Tweeple, and I was going to put an example up in the Wiki I’m working on.

https://github.com/themeblvd/Tweeple/wiki

In essence, what you’re asking exactly is not possible with Twitter API, in general. When we pull user’s timeline, it’s a specific resource from the Twitter API, that only allows one screen name.

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline

You could do it with a search, but you’re not going to get the result you want exactly.

If you were to search:

user1 OR user2

You will get tweets that contain either of those usernames in the text.

Now, technically you’re supposed to be able to do a search like this:

from:user1 OR from:user2

Which you would think would return what you want, but it doesn’t work consistently because you’re tapping into a whole other resource of Twitter API:

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search

And so you sort of get into the mess I was was talking about here:

http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/using-hashtag-and-username/#post-4326970

As Tweeple rolls along, I’d like it to be possible setup your own display of Tweets with basic development knowledge. And I’m hoping to have an example in the Wiki of what you’re asking, essentially where you’d take two Twitter feeds and just display them merged together, still keeping everything in chronological order.

Thanks!

Hello Colin,

This error suggests that there was some sort of security issue with tmhOAuth trying to communicate your server with Twitter.

Is this on a live server or your own local server? What kind of hosting are you on? Is it a pretty common hosting company, or are you working from a custom setup of some kind?

How did you install the plugin? Did you install through your WordPress admin panel, or did you manually upload the files? Can you verify that this file exists on your server?
