    Nice plugin. Just installed it, seems to work (just waiting for the first tweet to go out).

    Had a few quick ideas, probably pretty obvious, but here goes:

    A one-button “tweet now” function would be handy, to send out a tweet whenever manually just in case.

    It would be useful to have a prefix and/or suffix field to fill out. This way the messages that go out could be tailor made with hashtags and things.

    Finally, not a big thing, but some lower increments for Minimum Post Age would be sweet. Being able to go as low as a week would be handy, at least in our case…

    Anyhow, just some thoughts! Looking forward to seeing how this plugin develops. :)

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @The Local Landing – Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll surely work on those and update it shorty within a day or two :-)
      Please let me know if you got any more suggestions for me to work on :) keep posting

    Cool plugin – great way to make use of all the older content that gets lost in a world of now, now now!

    What about a way to choose a different URL shortening service. I love bit.ly/j.mp as it gives you the ability to see how many people have clicked on links you have shared.

    Thanks.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @JR Rozok – Thanks for the comment. I am working on it. I’ll include in my next upgrade. I’ll probably upgrade the plugin with some other url shortening options by Friday. So keep on checking :) . Also let me know if you have any more suggestions.

      Thanks.

  • http://lifeasmission.com JR Rozko

    One other suggestion –

    What about the ability to add a hashtag to tweets that go out through this plugin? Many people use the “Selective Twitter Status” service to update their Facebook status with tweets that are tagged with #FB.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @JR Rozoko – I have thought about that, but since this is auto tweet via plugin, you will have same hashtag for all tweets and that can be either in beginning or at the end of the tweet. I don’t know if this would work for people. Let me know what you think on this.

  • http://www.thelocallanding.net The Local Landing

    Oh man, just woke up to find 3 for 3 of those suggestions I gave yesterday implemented. You’re my new favorite plugin developer EVER. Also, seems to be working fine, as there have been a few tweets sent out since i installed yesterday.

    One other suggestion, though, would be picking the url shortening service. I know the Simple Twitter Link and Twitter Tools plugins have options like this, so it might be a good place to find the basis to work from code-wise.

    Also, and I don’t really know how far out this one is, i haven’t seen a plugin that does something like it, but if you could pull any pics or a specified custom field from a post if it has one and link hat through twitpic when the old tweets are sent out, why, you’d have your crown for a long time.

    Not to bog you down, man, three for three suggestions in one day is by far the fastest turnaround time i’ve ever seen from a plugin or its developer, and you deserve MAJOR kudos for that. These are just more ideas we’ve come up with, do with them as you see fit. Thanks for your work. :)

  • http://lifeasmission.com JR Rozko

    Ajay – that would work. Selective twitter status will update your facebook status from twitter anytime you include #FB in a tweet. Yes, you would have to decide whether or not you want all tweets through this plugin to go to Facebook. You couldn’t be selective. Thanks for working on this.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @The Local Landing – Thanks for the appreciations :) I will be working on the ability to add hashtags and allow the user to choose the url shortening service. And regarding custom fields I can pull custom fields but the user will have to mention which custom field he wants to pull and I’ll include this in my next to next release, regarding pics I don’t know if we can do that need to check that out. I’ll work on these after my next release of adding hashtags and url shortening services.

      @JR Rozoko – I’ll work on this. I am just thinking about how can I make this much better for the user, such that they love this and this plugin makes their life simple and gives what they want :)

      @Henry – Thanks for the comment. I will be releasing the option to choose the URL shortening service in the next release soon. And regarding allowing the user to choose a post to tweet about is not much feasible, because a user may have lots of post and displaying them at one place and choosing between them may be cumbersome. So what you can do for this is add a new category and add posts to that category and have only that category being tweeted about. Regarding percentage need to think about how much feasible is that technically.

      Guys thanks for the suggestions :)

  • http://designtavern.com Henry

    Lovin’ the latest update.

    is there a way I could set the default shortener to bit.ly?

    perhaps the plugin could be even more dynamic if users could select say 10 posts of their choosing and have them tweeted randomly, over the space of 5 days, every 5 hours, etc.
    Or even set a percentage for categories you’d like randomly posted more frequently

    eg: featured category :70%
    all other categories : 30%

    Regardless, its a great plugin and I cant wait to see what’s next.

  • http://constructionlawva.com Christopher G. Hill

    I can’t tell from this if a post with multiple categories will get eliminated if only one of the categories is allowed. Is this possible?

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Christopher – yes that will work if only one category is allowed it will extract only those post which belong to allowed category.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      Guys added option to select URL Shorten-er service. Will shortly release option to add hashtags for tweets.

  • http://colorsofnet.com Gaurav

    I will be giving this plugin a try, seems to be promising for driving traffic from twitter.

  • http://www.micky2be.com micky2be

    Since the 1.3v nothing is Tweeted, if I force a Tweet (“Tweet Now” button) it tells me error in top-core.php on line 149

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Micky – I tried tweeting from the Tweet Now button and it tweeted successfully. Can you try manually upgrading the plugin there must have been some problem with auto upgrade. Try manual installation and if the problem still persists please let me know. It would be great if you can give me the exact error description so that I can try replicating the same on my end.

  • http://www.micky2be.com micky2be

    Ok after full manual reinstall I got the same error, here the details:

    Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct() [simplexmlelement.--construct]: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, ‘__construct(’0′) #1 /home/www/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php(60): shorten_url(‘http://www.mick…’, ‘bit.ly’, ‘R_3d6e9d6a0e146…’, ‘micky2be’) #2 /home/www/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php(42): top_opt_tweet_post(’1085′) #3 /home/www/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-admin.php(111): top_opt_tweet_old_post() #4 /home/www/wp-includes/plugin.php(339): top_admin() #5 /home/www/wp-admin/admin.php(91): do_action(”) #6 /home/www/wp-admin/options-general.php(10): require_once(‘/home/…’) #7 {main} thrown in /home/www/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 149

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Micky – I am not getting this error, it works fine with my bit.ly account. I’ll still try to replicate this and will get back to you on this.
      This XML parsing error may be because of incorrect bit.ly details supplied. While I’ll have a check on this, in the meanwhile can you please verify your bit.ly account details.

      To verify your details you can try this,
      http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=url&login=username&apiKey=api_key&format=xml
      copy paste this url in your browser, and replace the url, username, and api_key with your details and check the result.

  • http://www.micky2be.com micky2be

    Apparently it’s the bit.ly shortner that doesn’t work

  • http://constructionlawva.com Christopher G. Hill

    It works fine now, but if I have a post with multiple categories and exclude any of those categories, then the whole post won’t tweet. I have several guest posts that I want to feature, but they also have other non-guest post categories that I’d like to exclude. This does not seem to be workable with the plugin unless I am doing something wrong.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Christopher – Yes if the post belongs to any of the category that you have included in the omit list then it wont tweet about it.

  • http://vanillechip.de HappyNerd

    Leider funktioniert bei mir der Filter für die Kategorien nicht, ein Update wäre da schön :/

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @HappyNerd – Können Sie bitte das nochmal überprüfen, was genau ist passiert? dieser Kategorie ist die Liste dieser Gruppen aus der tweet ausschließen

  • Prime Idea

    Hi, Cool plugin! You rock!
    Can I configure myself

    -Minimum interval between tweets
    -Randomness interval
    -Minimum age of post to be eligible for tweet

    in a code? I tried it with a third option “minimum age…” (you have a minimum of 7 days) I made it 1 day. Looks like that it appeared in settings (but I didn’t try it yet to twit to twitter). Another options (first and second), I tried to congigure them to be at least 30 min, but something went wrong and my whole blog dissapeared and I had to reinstall it again. No worries though. Now, everything is fine :-)
    What about to make one more option: “how many tweets to tweet at the time.” Like on a twitterfeed.com . Where you can choose a 30 min a minimum interval and post the maximum of 5 tweets at the time. And it would be nice to distribute them evenly through out of this 30 min interval. I notice, if 5 twits shows at one time, the only first twit gets the most attention but other ones will get left alone. It would be sad to waiste twits with no attention.
    Would be helpful!
    Thanks! :-)

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Prime Idea – Thanks, I’ll try to do that for you. I am currently working on Hashtags. But I like the idea of “how many tweets to tweet”, I’ll surely think about that :-) Thanks for the suggestion

  • http://santa-letters-online.com/games/ Jeff T.

    After trying Version 1.4 using bit.ly shortener. Tweets are not showing shortened links. No links at all show up. 1st I tried selecting “no” for adding post data, and no hash tag but still no link showing up. I will be Trying the old version again. I think the earlier version worked fine before you added the hash tag option.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Jeff – Is it getting tweeted? or its just the links aren’t getting shortened? Well I tried it on my blog and checked it was working fine. I’ll still look into this. Can you try the tweet now button and see if it tweets.

  • http://www.jacques-barzic.fr JIbéCC

    Hi,
    I’ve just install (manualy)the plug in.
    When I update the options for the first time the folowing error occure:
    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in [MY_WEB_SITE]/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 119″

    Note :
    it’s with WP 2.9
    and a bit.ly account.
    all others options are in default value.

    What’s happen ?

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Jacques – This is because your hosting has not enabled curl in PHP. Kindly contact you hosting service admin to get this enabled. It is used to call another URL and post things to that URL.

      • http://www.jacques-barzic.fr JIbéCC

        Hi,
        thanks for your reply @ajay.
        During the time beetween my ask and your replay, I constate the same reason. And I find a solution (on a forum of my hostong).
        I add in top-core.php at the beginning of the function send_request (line 118)the folowing code:

        if (!extension_loaded(“curl.so”))
        dl(“curl.so”);

        This load the PHP’s extention if it’s not.
        I dont’ know if this is good for all hosting (depend of system, for my hosting is Apache/PHP on Linux), but perhaps this is a tip to add in a futur release of the plugin with other testing.
        Happy new year !

  • http://www.jacques-barzic.fr JIbéCC

    Hi,
    after testing my new good Tweet Old Post (see above), I see that:

  • http://santa-letters-online.com/games/ Jeff T.

    I’m on a new server now and I’m also getting the same error message below. I will try your remedy, but if there’s a fix for it that can be in a later update that would be better. There’s a lot of people using the bit.ly shortening service.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /home/santale/public_html/games/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 119

  • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

    Nice plugin! Had a bit (not to make a pun) of a problem with bit.ly (top-core.php line 150 missing start entity) but searching for a while found that I had a trailing space on the copy/pasted API key. D’oh! That’s working now but I’m getting \403 Forbidden\ as the Story Title listed in the TweetDeck preview box and in the bit.ly History. The tweet itself has the expected post title, though, followed by the snippet and then the bit.ly URL and a different tweet posted through tr.im while I was debugging the line 150 error worked as expected, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Loading the bit.ly URL or the lengthened URL both work fine. Ideas?

    Thanks!

  • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

    Should’ve mentioned that I’m running 1.4 on WPMu 2.9.1. I edited the displayed title on the bit.ly history page and the ’403 Forbidden’ on the TweetDeck preview just went blank. Better blank than 403 Forbidden, I suppose, but…

    Using All in One SEO Pack on WP puts a pipe in the page title with the blog name following. Could bit.ly be choking on that or do you think it’s something else?

    Thanks, again.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Johnson – I’ll look into this and get back to you.

      • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

        More data. Over the past few days bit.ly has been showing the URL in the Title field where the “403 Forbidden” has been appearing. Better than a 403 but still not exactly interesting. Today, it reverted to 403′s again. Didn’t change a thing on my end either time. ?

        • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

          @Johnson – I couldn’t understand can you explain this in more detail.

          • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

            It appeared to begin displaying correctly, all on its own, and then didn’t again.

          • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

            @Johnson – I’ll check that and get back

    I am definitely bookmarking this page and sharing it with my friends. Well done!!!

  • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

    I wonder how much smaller these threaded replies can get.

    From the 403 error code, it would seem that there is something with access perms on either files or database that bit.ly is trying to access. Security is a big concern. Database is set to local-only, as it should be. No one outside my server should be accessing the database directly. What else is bit.ly trying to access that would give a 403? If someone could give me just a bit of information, I could look into things on my end. bit.ly support contact went on for a while but fell into a similar black hole when I asked for how their API works and what it is trying to access. If I can’t get any info, I can’t help.

    In the mean time, I’m trying tr.im to see what happens there. If the same, that’ll tell me something at least.

    On a side note, can the source be added to so that j.mp cam be used?

    Thanks.

    • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

      So I switch Tweet Old Post over from bit.ly to tr.im and the post titles are displayed correctly everywhere.

      Now, after waiting a day to be sure that updates have a chance to get added, tr.im shows zero URLs in my account from tweets sent by TOP. Can I not win?

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      Johnson – I’ll add tr.im and j.mp to the list soon and update also will check out the problems you mention. Thanks for the comments and your precious feedback. Feel free to share your thoughts.

    I love the idea of this plugin. I have recently implemented and thought of a feature enhancement (that someone may have already suggested). It would be great to be able to set both a maximum age and an minimum age for the tweets, so that something that is very old might not be tweeted. So, I could configure something within 7 days (new) and 1 year (old).

    Thanks!

  • http://www.thelocallanding.net The Local Landing

    It seems that since the 1.5 update the other day, tweet old posts isn’t working correctly. When I tried the “Tweet Now” button, I saw this error at the top of the Tweet Old Posts Page:

    WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near …….

    Any idea what all that means? It’s beyond me… but tweets stopped going out after the update, so i’m guessing it’s got something to do with that.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Ajay,

    We have a locally installed yourls URL shortener that uses its own database and its WP plugin has already assigned short URLs to all of our posts by adding a custom field: yourls_shorturl to each post to prevent needless duplication of shortened URLs.

    I know just enough PHP to get my whole server into real trouble. I can make some edits to things but adding support for yourls might be a bit too risky without guidance. Ideas?

    Thanks.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @johnson – This is good option. I’ll add an option for reading the shorturl’s from a custom field and allow user to name the custom field :-) . You always give me good ideas Thanks!!!

  • Brad

    Thanks for trying to make it PHP 4 compatible… but I get the following fatal errors when I active the updated plugin:

    Parse error: parse error in /media/html/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 204

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: top_opt_update_time() in /media/html/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 6

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Brad – Are you using PHP 4 and bit.ly URL shortning service?
      I’ll need your help to solve this problem.
      1 – Open top-core.php file.
      2 – Search for “function shorten_url” without quotes.
      3 – in that function look for
      $url = “http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl={$the_url}&login={$user}&apiKey={$api_key}&format=xml”;
      $response = send_request($url, ‘GET’);
      4 – Place “echo $response;” without quotes after “$response = send_request($url, ‘GET’);” in the above point. it should now look like this,
      $url = “http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl={$the_url}&login={$user}&apiKey={$api_key}&format=xml”;
      $response = send_request($url, ‘GET’);
      echo $response;
      if(parseXML($response,”element”,”errorCode”)==0)
      5 – save the file
      6 – Go to Tweet Old Post setting page. And Hit/Click “Tweet Now” button.
      7 – You’ll see something at the top of the page above, “Tweet old post by – Ajay Matharu”, title.
      8 – Just send me what you get there. It would be great if you can send me the HTML source of the page.

      :Ajay Matharu

  • Brad

    I don’t think your fix addressed the problem, here’s the NEW error I get after replacing the code you specified above:

    Parse error: parse error in /media/html/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-posts/top-core.php on line 205

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: top_opt_update_time() in /media/html/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-posts/top-core.php on line 6

    NOTE: I get this error when I ACTIVATE the plugin, and it completely crashes WordPress so I have to manually REMOVE your plugin to make WordPress work again. This is a FATAL error.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Brad – Can you open top-core.php file and check if function top_opt_update_time(){} is present at the bottom of the file?

  • http://agedbeauty.com Ketin

    I love this plugin , but it tweets same posts again and again.
    There should be an option to tweet one post one time only , not again and again.
    I don’t want my one post to be tweeted 5 times , which is just the case with this plugin.
    Can you do something about it.

  • Brad

    Yes, that function is near the end of the top-core.php file… I ONLY edited this file as you ask above without any other modifications, but I get the same fatal error as I have pasted above.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Brad – is your wordpress hosted on PHP 4?

  • http://www.shoutmeloud.com Harsh Agrawal

    Hey Ajay
    First of all thanks for such a useful plugin and there is a small big in the plugin and that is users with access level below admin can also check the plugin settings. That means using any asterisk revealer they can see the password… How about integrating twitter oath login or changing the access level???

    And also please enabled Subscribe to comment, so that i can be notified for future comments. Will wait for your response.

    Ever since the latest update to 1.7, my “old posts” have not been tweeting out. I even tried the manual process. When I do the manual process, I get the following PHP fatal error:

    PHP Fatal error: Class ‘DOMDocument’ not found in [my local path]/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 198, referer: http://www.hightechdad.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=TweetOldPost

    Any thoughts? Love the plugin and I just want it working again.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @HighTechDad – Sorry for the issue. I’ll be shortly releasing the new version in few days.

      • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

        Guys, I have updated the plugin. Have most of the bug fixes, but not sure if this will work for PHP 4. But you can try and let me know the issues.
        Also added a provision to fetch the URL from the custom field. If it fetches the Tweet URL from custom field it will not tweet the post URL instead it will tweet the URL from the custom field. You can control if you want to shorten the custom field URL or not.

    Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, even after applying, I am still getting the same error. Any thoughts?

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @HighTechDad – I believe I have to remove the PHP 4 support from the plugin that may be creating the problem.

  • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

    OUTSTANDING! Thanks for the props on my suggesting good ideas. Today, more than any other lately (tough times), that means a lot.

    The inclusion of accessing a post custom field worked right out of the box to use the YOURLS-generated short URL attached to each post. It manually tweeted the same post automatically sent via su.pr 6 hours earlier, but I figure that is due to the post selection algorithm and it won’t duplicate under normal use.

    There is one bug in the admin screen (don’t shoot the messenger). This one’s going to be difficult to explain.

    When checking:
    “Fetch URL from custom field:”

    “Custom field name to fetch URL to be tweeted with post:”

    shows up but there’s an ADDITIONAL

    “Custom field name to fetch URL to be tweeted with post:”

    line but its action is *another* checkbox with the explanation:

    “If set it will shorten the URL fetched from custom field, else it will show the url fetched from custom field”

    The option-line-left content and option-line-right content don’t match previous pairs, so this doesn’t look right and I’m not going to select that secondary checkbox; because I think it’s a phantom and could screw up everything that now works.

  • http://blog.imperialearth.com/ BJ Johnson

    Okay… I’ve been up for three days. Just went back to the plugin admin screen and actually read the line that I *thought* was a bug and see that it is indeed different–but *really* similar. However, I’m not fully understanding what it says/means, so I’m still leaving it un-checked–at least until I’ve gotten a battery charge.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Johnson – if that secondary checkbox is checked, then the URL fetched from the custom field will be shortened with the selected URL shortner, else it will tweet the fetched URL from the custom field assuming it is already shortened. Hope this helps.

    Just installed it – the plugin works fine when I “test twit”.

    For – “If checked URL will be fetched from custom field. If not plugin will generate shortened URL from post link.” – does it mean that the full url will be posted if checked? Cos at present, it does not.

    Having the option to post the full url would be cool.

    Hi Ajay. Awesome wordpress plugin. It works great!
    I have a suggestion / request for the plugin… could you add an automated tweet feature that randonly reads from a txt or other file… and not just blog posts?
    As most automated tweet software like Tweet Adder needs you to have your computer on and connected to the internet to be useful, it would be awesome to send out a mix of (a) blog posts and (b) pre-written tweets from the server that my blog is on.
    I’m not very technically knowledgeable… but could this be done?
    Thanks,
    Brendan

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      @Jerod – Will check on that and get back.

      @ejewelrysource – If there is top yellow bar blank there has to be some problem. I’ll evaluate and check when will that happen and keep you updated.

      @Elliot – You need to customize the code. Are you technical person?

      Thank you guys for using the plugin. I am working on making it better and better with your suggestions.

Keep the good work!

  • http://www.ladybonesonline.com/blog tanya

    I am pretty much obsessed with this plugin – i’ll be adding it to my next list of MUST HAVE plugins.
    A couple suggestions, if I may?
    Allow me to add all my twitter accounts, with a seperate set of settings for each. For example, my personal Twitter account I’d like to send out a tweet every 30 minutes, but my business’ Twitter account, I’d like to only send out an old post tweet every 3 hours… I’d get tons more traffic if I could send out a tweet from each of my accounts!!
    Please allow me to send out a tweet every 30 minutes! Every hour is not enough with the amount of followers people have now – your tweets barely stay in their timeline long enough to be read!
    Allow a different hash tag for each category. You know where you can omit categories? Maybe add the option to put in a hash tag for the categories you DONT omit. For example, add #food #recipes to my CHEF category. My blog covers so many things, it’s more of an online magazine for women, so to add one hash tag to cover all categories is impossible!

    Again, thanks so much for this awesome plugin!

      I had that problem too and as soon as I posted my problem here, I found the solution. Go into your WordPress Admin, click updates, then look for the Tweet Old Post plugin update and click that to update it to the current version and presto it works again. You have to reset up your username and password. That part works a little different now.

It is, I did it several times and then tried it with other new blogs and the usernames and passwords are being rejected. I checked some of my newer blogs and they are no longer tweeting even though the credentials were verified as correct.

    Is Twitter blocking this plugin now? I hope not. I love it.

  • http://floatingsun.net Diwaker

    The idea is great, but I just installed the plugin on my blog and all hell broke loose. Within seconds it had posted about 40+ tweets to my account (@diwakergupta) despite the fact that minimum tweet interval was 4 hrs and random interval was also 4 hrs. For now, I’ve disabled the plugin for fear of another flood of tweets. Is there a way test the plugin in a sandbox (short of creating a temporary Twitter account just for this plugin)?

  • http://ezlifestyles.ca Elliot Zovighian

    Yea, i had to deactivate then reactivate the plug-in to make it work.

  • http://mfeldstein.com/ Michael Feldstein

    I love the idea for this plugin. Unfortunately, it’s not working for me. I have a relatively fresh install of WordPress 3.0.1 and the latest version of your plugin. When I click “Tweet Now” I get an empty yellow box at the top of the page, like it’s about to tell me that it sent a tweet but then forgets. No tweet goes out, and no subsequent tweets are automatically sent.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • http://www.hightechdad.com HighTechDad

    I love your plugin and thanks for adding in some of my suggestions from a while ago.

    I have a new feature request that would be GREAT to have implemented. Essentially it is around how frequently a particular “old post” is tweeted and about controlling that.

    First, you would add something to the blog post page that says something like: Frequency of Old Post Tweets
    Then have a dropdown selection: High, Medium, Low, Never
    The “never” setting would never tweet out the post. I have been forced to create a category for posts that I never want tweeted out.
    The High, Medium and Low would be in the settings page. I guess it would have to be percentage based since each user may tweet out old posts at a different frequency. So you would do something like:
    High – 60% of the time
    Medium – 30% of the time
    Low – 10% of the time
    Would have to total 100%

    You could also have a counter (perhaps in the post view screen) of the # of times a post has been tweeted out via the plugin.

    If you add this feature, it would be AWESOME! Feel free to email me if you have any questions!

    Thanks!

    This just does not work for me. At the beginning of setup when I try to log in with Twitter it takes me to Twitter and then, instead of redirecting me back to the application, it sends me to a blank page. I can’t get any further than that. So I cannot use this at all.

    It’s good plugin.I like it. But when the table row is bigger,it will spend much time for search.Could you change the “ORDER BY RAND()” instead of this. ref:http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10338930

    Hi Ajay, GREAT plugin…but all of a sudden it stopped working. I have re-installed it, also re-authorized, and nothing…. Thanks.

    Hi, I love Tweet Old Post but have just upgraded to version 3.1 and tweets stopped going out. I wanted to roll back to version 3. 0 as it was working great until today. Where can I get this version as not available on WordPress site they only have 3.1 1.5 and 1.4
    Many thanks for all your work I really want to continue using it. Mike.

    I just updated and now Tweet Old Posts does not work at all. I set it for posts 1 day old and newer than 15 days. It says there are no posts to tweet! But I do have posts to tweet. Also, I don’t want to exclude any posts, so I didn’t check any boxes by the categories. Is that the problem?

  • http://seogaffer.com Jay

    It used to work before until I updated recently. Now I get the following message: “No post found to tweet. Please check your settings and try again.” Any suggestions please?

  • http://scotchpotch.com magpie

    “No post found to tweet. Please check your settings and try again”

    I’ve been getting that message since I upgraded to WordPress 3.1.

    I’ve tried deactivating the plugin, posting a manual post, but when I click to tweet now, I still get the same message.

    That’s a great pity, because it was working fine before.

    Any ideas on how to fix it?

  • http://scotchpotch.com magpie

    Sadly I will have to deactivate this plugin. Looking at previous posts, I see that issues raised by other users have not been addressed.

    I’m still getting \No post found to tweet. Please check your settings and try again.\, despite deactivating, removing, reinstalling, changing the settings lots of times – I just can’t get it to work. And the answer does not seem to be forthcoming soon.

    I will use a manual post plugin which will let me select the posts I think should be featured on Twitter.

    Pity, it could have been the perfect plugin for my needs.

    Best wishes

    Hi. I’ve been using your plugin for over a month now. And I must say that it’s an awesome plugin! Thank you so much for your work!

    However, when I updated the plugin to 3.1, the plugin has ceased to work. I keep getting this message no matter what settings I change:

    “No post found to tweet. Please check your settings and try again.”

    I even tried reinstalling the plugin. No dice.

    I’m not the only one experiencing it apparently:

    Hi Ajay— Get Excited & Stay Excited!!!

    I think this is such a fabulous plugin– I have all of my networks using it… the sad thing is it is not workin for me. I finally installed it on my blog. And when I hit the tweetnow after I’ve updated my settings which most are default it says “No post found to tweet. Please check your settings and try again.” And with the settings they are, even with everything at default, there are many old posts that can be retweeted.

    Is there a time frame after install that we have to wait for it to start posting old posts to twitter? Everything else went fine, it connected to my twitter just fine too. I don’t know– but I’d like that to work. I know my posts url/permalinks does not have the date in them, does that matter?

    Thanks & Blessings, Love & Light…

    Everything installed okay, but I keep getting:
    “No post found to tweet. Please check your settings and try again.”
    Updated initial site and now this plugin is doing the same thing there, too.

  • AJ

    Fantastic plugin but a few questions..

    1. How do i stop it posting the URL back to the post? i only want it to tweet the body of the post

    2. How do i make the plugin only tweet each post once and never tweet the same post again until the cycle is over? this would ensure all posts are tweeted atleast once… is this possible?

    Other then that, works perfect!

    Would really love it if the plugin can set a #hashtag based on the category the post is in. Like for a multi category blog it would have #technology at end of tweet for tech category posts…etc. The “set static hashtags” doesn’t work for multi author and multi niche blogs.

    Is there anyway to remove the “via Tweet Old Post”? I understand that you want to promote your product through this, however, when it says “Old Post” I think it’s a deters people clicking the links. Thanks!

  • http://www.hatpit.com/ David

    @Mike I for one can vouch that the “via Tweet Old Post” is not a deterrent. I have been using this plugin for quite awhile now at this site – http://www.hatpit.com – and this plugin has helped me get more traffic to my site than any other plugin I’ve ever used for my wordpress website.

    I have network enabled in my 3.1 wordpress install and I use this plugin on two sites in my network and the “via Tweet Old Post” reference has not slowed down my traffic on either site. I have only gained traffic thanks to this very awesome plugin.

    To Ajay, maybe you could offer a premium version of this plugin to the whiners who want something for nothing and add in the option of having the plugin reference their website instead of saying “via Tweet Old Post”.

    Nobody who is using the super awesome plugin FOR FREE should be whining about having the plugin reference in there. Just my opinion.

  • http://www.dragonblogger.com Justin Germino

    I am in same boat as John that the single post exclusion is broken, it doesn’t let you search or mark in any way posts to exclude. Also I would think hashtags would be a good function, as well as being able to attach more than 1 Twitter account to same blog.

  • http://www.thenlifehappens.com Darren Sproat

    I have been a long time user (and lover) of the Tweet Old Post plugin. So much so that I would consider buying a premium version of the plugin. There are just a few features that I would love to have… I see at least one of them has been mentioned multiple times. :)

    1) Ability to post to multiple twitter accounts using different settings for each (in other words, I want to be able to set the tweet frequency independently for each account)

    2) Use custom field as preferred hash tag.

    Hi, I haven’t installed the plug in yet but I wanted to know if what I need will work. I’ve read as many of the replies here as possible.

    Can the plugin be marked so that the last post can be tweeting at different intervals. I don’t need random old posts to tweet.

    I want the lastest blog to tweet to my twitter account several times every 2-3 hours.

    Reasoning. My blog automatically tweets a new blog post. but the tweet announcing a new blog post will get lost if someone follows 100s of other twitters. IF I can have my NEW post tweeted several times, then they are more apt to see it and it’s not lost in a sea of tweets.

    Hope that made sense. To recap:

    1 – send auto-tweet for new posts only
    2 – send auto-tweet every 3 hours

    Hey – I am definitely glad to find this. great job!

  • http://www.tylerchristopher.com/blog Sheri

    Hi again, I installed the plugin and was hopeful I could get it to tweet the most current post at 2 hour intervals. I set it to 0 minimum (for today) and 0 maximum but alas it tweeted an older post (the post the day before). Bummer.

    I’d be willing to pay to have this feature – i.e. tweet the most recent post at intervals.

    Thanks for any info

    PS – also after installing I had memory issues so I’m working on that also.

    Love the plugin!!!!!
    1. I think ppl are asking for Priority tweets for new post.
    2. new post aren’t being sent out after publishing them in the latest version as of 2day.
    3. maybe a tweet now check box when publishing a new post. Have it checked by default.
    4. Have all the functions of “Twit Connect” & “Tweet Blender” in your plugin. << I know that might be a lot but I would pay for it.

    Hi, I came across your plugin whilst developing my website, its great, well done. I had a problem with it posting shortcodes instead of the content when used with WPZonBuilder as instead of filling the content it just uses a shortcode in [] brackets. After some research I found that the wordpress function do_shortcode does the task that was required and I wanted to share it with your users and suggest it to go in a future update. Line 110 of top-core.php there is a line that reads $content = stripslashes($post->post_content);
    change this by adding the do_shortcode function so that it reads $content = stripslashes(do_shortcode($post->post_content));
    this fixed my problem so I hope it helps someone out there now or in the future when they’re searching for help. :)
    Great plugin, keep up the good work.

  • drokkon

    Thanks for the fantastic plugin! I have a feature request, as the plugin isn’t currently usable for me. Basically, the first thing I have in every post is a picture wrapped in code. So, if I choose to Tweet post content, it shows the post title, and then some code for the image instead of the post text. I think it would be great if you could choose to tweet just the title, just the content, or both! I, of course, would really only like to tweet the title. Thanks!

  • http://whatisnewondvd.com Patrik

    Is this plugin outdated or what ????

    PLEASE REPLY!

  • drokkon

    Thanks for the great plugin. I think it’d be great to be able to choose exactly what content to tweet. For example, I want the TITLE tweeted, but not my post itself, because as you can see, I start every post with a photo:

    http://twitter.com/#!/lightfromright/status/77589026265247744

    Warning: require_once(oauth.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/servername/public_html/sitename/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 3

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi! maybe my problem is a old issue but still don’t find the cure. I can’t authorize my twitter account. I try de-authorizing, but when I try to authorize it back I can’t. When I press the authorize icon it just reload the page. Please this is my favorite plug in and it was working as a charm. Now is not. Thanks!

  • Kal

    AJ, the authorized button is not showing. I tried on several websites, still no luck. Please reply when you get a chance.

    The plugin is not working with latest wordpress 3.1.4. The option to add twitter user name and password for authentication is not fillable.

    OOPS!!! there seems to be some problem while tweeting. If problem continues please try re-authorizing your acount again.
    First Deauthorize and then authorize again and check.

    What does this mean? it happens offen with this plugin, is this because you need to update the plugin based on the new version of wordpress? one min it works one min it doesn’t . please help

  • David

    Can’t get Authorization? Here’s the fix: The Twitter Button Image is missing so use a link instead:

    Edit Plugins: tweet-old-post/top-admin.php

    Find:

    echo ‘‘;

    and replace with

    echo ‘Click To Authorize‘;

  • http://www.ithoughts.de/ Akku

    Please update the plugin. There’s no way to authorize my Twitter account. –> Broken :-(

  • http://mjraatz.com MJ

    Got an issue with WordPress 3.2 Your plugin does not allow me to post my twitter account login and twitter account password. Therefore it won’t re-tweet old posts. Help would be appreciated. If you want to email me I’ll send you a screen capture of the issue. Thanks.

  • http://workwithdaria.com/ Daria Jackson

    Sounds like a cool plugin But can’t authorize. It doesn’t give the option to put your user name or password. Need help!

  • stacey

    Hello Ajay,

    I’ve tried to run your plugin on my WP 3.2.

    It requests that I re-authorize my account, however the button no longer appears. I have tried to remove and reinstall but I still receive the error.

    Please advise. Many thanks for such a wonderful plugin :)

  • http://www.jasonthibeault.com Jason Thibeault

    For those of you who want to utilize this plugin on WordPress 3.0+, there is an issue with authorization. I am unclear if it is the wordpress version or an image reference, but regardless, here’s how you fix it:

    1. open top-admin.php in the tweet-old-post plugin directory
    2. find the following line:

    echo ‘‘;

    3. Replace the tag with something else. I simply deleted the image and typed “login”
    4. save

    When you refresh the Tweet Old Post admin page, the “login” link will appear for the “authorize” label. Click it to take you to Twitter to authorize Tweet Old Post.

    All works fine after that.

    Ok so I do not understand how I am supposed to set this up to be able to access my twitter account. I cannot find the plugin mentioned in the instructions.

  • http://www.ciodashboard.com Chris Curran

    Great concept. Unfortunately I can’t use the plugin because the username/password dialog doesnt appear (nor does the Twitter badge/login). Not sure if another plugin is conflicting or if its my theme – Thesis. Any ideas?

  • http://www.ifastfwd.info Chuck Woo

    I love the plugin, however can’t seem to get it to work on the WP multisite platform. How can we get the plugin to separate each multisite? I want each of my multisites work independently.

    Thanks

  • http://www.ifastfwd.info Chuck Woo

    PS. I would also pay a 1 time fee to use this plugin. Just fyi. If you can keep it free then great, but I know everyone needs and wants money. I would also look to be an affiliate to resell the plugin.

    Hi seems during wordpress debug i’m getting depreciated calls errors in all versions. Seems they need to be replaced with the newest calls.

    Change tweet-old-post.php

    Line 40 and 41 replace 1 with ‘edit_pages’

    Change top-admin.php

    Line 744 replace get_settings with get_option

  • http://thehealthyskeptic.org Chris

  • http://www.ajaymatharu.com Ajay Matharu

    Guys, thanks for using the plugin :-) . Your comments are much appreciated.

    @Chris – I’ll check that, by the time try with body & title with body

    @kal – there is an option called include link if its “No” you wont see any URL option set it to yes and you’ll see the URL options. The URL shortner is still there. Let me know if any more assistance is required.

    @Michele – Thanks :)

    @Brian – Can you tell me the issue you are facing. You can any ways download the previous version from the plugins page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweet-old-post/stats/ there is an plugin dropdown you can select the version you want to download.

    @silicon – I’ll check that error.

    @thomas – I’ll take care of this in next release.

    @nicole – I have resolved this issue in the latest version.

    @Hansjörg – It’s in my list you’ll get that in future releases

    Once again thanks for that great tool, wich helps me to promote my blog (www.der-bank-blog.de) in a very efficient way.

    I am looking foward to one of the next updates containing support for multiple twitter accounts.

    Another suggestion is to have a chance of beeing more specific to the time the plugin tweets to better reach the followers.

    But again: It is a great tool and it works fine

    Dear Ajay

    So happy to see that the plugin was updated – but I couldn’t get it to work. When I click authorize, I’m taken to Twitter and it all seems fine. But then, when re-directed – no authorization has taken place. So, I still can’t use it – tried on a couple of different browsers, but no luck. Any thoughts or ideas?

    Thanks!

  • http://www.der-bank-blog.de Hansjörg Leichsenring

    Hi

    its me again. I have a suggestion regarding the use with two Twitter accounts.

    Would it not be possible to have the plugin installed twice if you publish it under a second name (Tweet old Posts 2). I am not an expert, but would than not be possible by just changing the file names?

    Maybe this is an easier way than do the whole programming.

    Thanks again

    Kind regards from Germany

    I get problem in one of my sites. I can’t update my option. Every time, I click the Update Tweet Old Post Option button, I got myself logout from my dashboard. It will be redirected to http://www.qdkfqsz.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fqdkfqsz.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin.php%3Fpage%3DTweetOldPost&reauth=1

    The idea of this plugin is great, however I haven’t been able to use it, because the Twitter auth fails.

I hope it is solved soon, because I would LOVE to use this.

    My webhost replied
    “I was able to modify the databases manually to basically manually deactivate the Tweet Old Post plugin on each WordPress instance. Based on the error, it is a syntax problem, so I would recommend that you do NOT reactivate those until you get in contact with the author of that plugin, as it appears that they made a syntax error in their plugin’s code.”

    Many hours later, i am still trying to reload blogs from backups, as all my plug ins have been de-activated, by my webhost provider. But i will not upgrade to the new version, after re-installing my old blog backups.

    Tweet old post worked great in the past, but some syntax probs.

    Can you let e know when this is fixed, because Tweet old post is really fantastic. Hope you can help.

    Thanks MH

  • http://www.omnilogos.com Omnilogos

    I use the latest WP with Thematic Theme Framework, I updated the tweet old post plugin to 3.2.3 version, and its broken. I love this plugin, I beg you please fix it :(

  • http://www.moretablet.com MT-Francis

    It is a very useful plug-in, but it was broken when I updated to 3.2.2. And I don’t have a copy of the older version..=(

  • http://www.ohnocomics.com Vincent

    I just updated to 3.2.3 and it crashed wordpress giving me a parse error on line seven. I had to go into my file manager to rename the plugins tweet-old-post.php file to force WP to deactivate it since the error wouldn’t let me access my site via the front end or back end. Just thought I would let you know and I will try reactivating it again the next time an update is available.

  • http://www.theleadershipadvisor.com William Powell

    Is there a reason why my comment pointing out a parsing error in version 3.2.3 has been deleted? I understand mistakes happen, but it makes it look like the problem is trying to be hidden.

    I’m just asking for support for your plugin.

    Many thanks for your speedy response! I added a simple pdp.ini file saved in UTP-8 from Notepad to the root directory of http://HappinessBlog.com that looks like this:

    allow_url_fopen = On

    We are running a very vanilla WP 3.2.1 site hosted on 1and1.com

    I just tried the 3.2.4 upgrade and we’re getting these error messages:

    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/34/d200869480/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 273

    What can we do to resolve this?

    Will you add a donations jar to your website?

    Also – many people are talking about Tweeting to multiple Twitter accounts. It looks like bitly.com will do this for you, I don’t know for sure as I haven’t been able to test it.

    Many, MANY THANKS for what looks a truly remarkable plug-in!

    Thanks for the update 3.2.4 it solved the issue found on version 3.2.3

    Keep the good work!

  • Peter

    New update version working fine.

  • http://www.7107magazine.com Leo

    Firstly I just say many thanks for this update today.

    I use version 3.2.3 and still back to login page when I update setting. I use thesis and host in ixwebhosting.

    For other case, I use other template with version 3.2.2 in hostgator, it’s running well.

    I think the problem relate with my template or memory_limit on server. Any one have same problem with me, use thesis and host in ixwebhosting?

    Thanks and regards,

    With the new version out, I managed to authorize the plugin, but when I click “update tweet old posts” I am logged out without any of the settings saved

    please help!

  • http://tonymilano.com/ Tony Milano

    @Michael Download the latest version from his site. I had the same problem.

    @Ajay I’m having a problem authenticating my Twitter account from within your plugin. after the login it just hangs and never registers as verified. So the plugin doesent do anything. Any ideas how to fix this?

  • http://HappinessBlog.com Marly

    WHOOPEEE!!! I’m thrilled, this wonderful plugin seems to be working, I’m so happy!!! Please ignore the questions in #262. Here are some thoughts that may help others.

    1and1.com seems to have serious problems.

    We mounted a new, clean copy of WordPress 3.2.1 on BlueHost.com and did a few theme customizations and then imported a test version of http://HappinessBlog.com to the BlueHost.com space.

    Bitly.com created errors so we moved to Tinyurl. Now Tweet Old Posts from http://happinesshabitblog.com/hhblog/ is working.

    BlueHost is having a special of $3.95 a month with a two year minimum – if it does not come up through WordPress.org try this link: BlueHost.com/promo

    GOOD LUCK, and many, MANY thanks!!!

  • http://www.toile-filante.com Simon

    @Leonieke Exactly the same, Damn !

  • http://www.adamdalyonline.com Adam Daly

    Was looking forward to using this plugin, however, I’m getting the same error as those above. Logs me out every time I try to update settings or Tweet now. Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • AJ

    I would happily pay to have the via “Tweet Old Post” changed on twitter, i want it changed to web with twitter’s link so its assumed i posted via web… if anyone can help with this, please let me know

  • http://HappinessBlog.com Marly

    We really want to use bit.ly with Tweet Old Posts with the Happiness Blog – http://HappinessBlog.com – but we keep getting the same error –

    OOPS!!! problem with your URL shortning service. Some signs of error INVALID_APIKEY.

    We have deactivated/activated, deauthorized/reauthorized, changed the API Key, and done everything else we can think of but the error won’t disappear.

    We have just mounted a brand new installation of the most recent version of WordPress 3.2.1 on BlueHost, a preferred WordPress hosting provider and are using the most recent 3.2.4 version of Tweet Old Posts.

    Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Tinyurl works fine but has limited tracking.

    User error somewhere? I should add that we’ve had a continual problem with criminal whistleblower retaliation and hacking – see http://ReportingWrongdoing.com

    Is there anything that will help us diagnose and resolve this problem with bit./y?

    Many, MANY THANKS for a superb plug-in! You really need to add a tip or donations jar to your site somewhere… People will be happy to pay for this.

  • http://HappinessBlog.com Marly

    Oh, ooops!

    Also meant to mention that when we moved back to Tinyurl the #happiness hash tags have disappeared. This worked fine before. I’ll delete the TOP plug-in and try again.

    Any other thoughts?

  • http://HappinessBlog.com Marly

    Still no hashtags… ;-( Has Twitter made some changes?

    Deleted the TweetOldPosts plugin on the host and reinstalled it – reauthorized it on Twitter, seems Twitter remembered and prefilled many of the options.

    Would like to have both #happiness and #happy hashtags included – but we were never able to get more than one hashtag to appear.

    Is this just us or are other people having similar problems? We’ve had a long standing problem with hacking that’s been focused on hurting our business operations – see http://ReportingWrongdoing.com

    We’re trying to bring greater happiness to the world, how sad people want to stop us
    !

  • Michael

    @Leonieke Exactly the same problem, I upgraded and now when I want to update my settings, it throws me out with no saved settings.

  • http://www.stallion-theme.com/ David Law

    Been using Tweet Old Posts Plugin for a while and doing a good job of increasing the tweet count for my blog posts, but that left my static pages with a low tweet count.

    I made a couple of code changes to add Pages to the retweet and exclude parts of the plugin, any chance adding this code

    or post_type = 'page'

    To the appropriate parts of top-core.php and top-excludepost.php so I don’t have to hack your code each update :-)

    Any info on a pro version, would pay for the ability to tweet multiple accounts to really bulk up the tweet numbers automatically?

    SEO Tip for you unrelated to this plugin. I noticed you are using the SEO Super Comments plugin which is supposed to result in your comments being indexed independently. When WordPress incorporated canonical URLs the super comments plugin broke which is why none of the comments on this page are indexed in their own right:

    Check this in Google

    site:http://www.ajaymatharu.com/wordpress-plugin-tweet-old-posts/

    The canonical URL is redirecting all the comments back to this page meaning no SEO value using the plugin.

    I develop a premium theme (Stallion SEO AD Theme) which includes the SEO Super Comments plugin built in (rewrote it, for more SEO features) which means the pages are indexed correctly:

    site:site:http://www.stallion-theme.com/stallion-seo-super-comments-plugin-feature

    To have the comment pages indexable again you need to remove canonical URLs from the single.php template page you are using. I did it by creating a second header.php template file and added

    remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');

    To the head area.

    You’ll probably have to stop All In One SEO Plugin adding a canonical URL as well.

    David

  • http://www.canuckseo.com Jim Rudnick

    finally! had to deauthorize my twitter logins, then reboot the box, then re-authorize my twitter login, then save then re-tweeted – and it finally worked!

    coder – you need to update this page with further info for all types of issues, including my own I’d think, eh!

    else folks get pissed and dump the plugin…

    Jim

  • http://www.thatedeguy.com thatedeguy

    I am unable to update any of the settings. I can make changes to the boxes, etc, but when I click the save settings button, it refreshes back to the old values.

  • jeff

    Hey Ajay
    I gotta say, this is one of the best plugins I have come across for wordpress. It truly is amazing.

    BUT

    I would love if you designed a TWEET NEW POST plugin because all the other ones are all crap out there. :)

    Thanks Ajay, again, great plugin!

    I have no problem use Version 3.2.3 in other theme.

    For a while I concluded that Tweet Old Post can not be used in the Thesis theme.

    Many thanks for your last update and I still wait your next update…. :-)

  • http://marieleslie.com Marie

    This is an awesome plug-in and I haven’t found anything else like it. Unfortunately, when I updated to 3.2.5 it created an incompability with commentluv and I’ve had to deactivate it. Any chance there’s a fix for this out there?

    I’ve had the same issue on both of my blogs, running different themes.

  • http://www.johnsimondaily.com John

  • http://HappinessHabit.com Marly Manning

    We absolutely LOVE this plugin! You are a hero Ajay!

    But Tweet Old Posts suddenly stopped 9/2/2011. When we tried to deactivate / reactivate TOP it would not log back into Twitter. We downloaded a new copy of 3.2.5 and uploaded a clean copy and turned off popup blocker. Still would not login to Twitter to activate.

    Did Twitter do something? We’re desperate!

  • http://www.onemoregadget.com/ Grrambo

    Ours suddenly stopped working the same time as well. Bummer! Looks like twitter did something. Or wordpress.

  • http://www.pastorwynn.com Pastor Wynn

    This is a great plug-in, but the latest update is rendering this plug-in unusable for me. While categories can still be excluded, the option to exclude specific posts is gone. There are occasional posts that I do not want retweeted. Can we get that option back again?

    Also, where may someone donate to your plug-in?

    Is there something I should review in the server configuration or is this a plugin issue?
    Please help, really like this plugin.

    Also a Tweet new post plugin would be excellent to have as well.
    thanks

  • Regina

    I’m not sure what’s going on with the plugin. I went to look at the settings and all looks fine, BUT it’s only tweeting out the link and not the title anymore.

    I wasn’t sure where to post this, so I hope asking here is okay.

    Thanks for your help. For now, however, I’m going to have to disable it because I’m using it on a client’s feed.

    I have been a long time user and fan of Tweet Old Posts. My challenge is that it stopped working recently, because it says that the URL shortener does not work. I uninstalled and then reinstalled tweet old posts, but still nothing. Let me know if you need additional info? Also interested in the pro version once the basic is fixed, since I have multiple twitter accounts.

    Thanks!

  • Julius

    Hi Ajay!

    Congratulations for your great work with the plugin. I installed it in my website but I got an error when trying to use bit.ly url shortener. I configured it with my login and apikey and got this:

    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /mywebsite/html/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 274

    Warning: file_get_contents(http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?longUrl=http://mywebsite/post-names/&login=loginnamei&apiKey=mybitlyapikey&format=json) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /mywebsite/wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-core.php on line 274

    If I disable the url shortener option the plugin seems to be OK.. I’m using WordPress 3.0.1 version.
    Any ideas of what is wrong?

    Thanx!

      @julius – this seems to be some server configuration issue. Can you check with your hosting provider please.

  • djstretch

    I found that if you have any other twitter plugin, deactivate it then try to authenticate T.O.P. That worked for me & then I activated the other plugin. you might have to disable some other plugins on your site. Hope this helps. some of the features of the other plugin I wish was added to T.O.P ;-) so we only use it.

    I’m still having the problem suffered by others – when I update the options, or even press the return key when on the settings page, I’m ejected from my site. When I log in again none of the settings have been saved. Have tried multiple options. I get the behavior even if all my other plugins are deactivated. Using version 3.2.6 on WordPress 3.2.1. I’m using php 5. Is there some variable i need to set in the .htaccess file to get this to work? It used to work great for me but I don’t recall when it broke – whether it was a wordpress upgrade or a tweetoldpost upgrade. I see others are having the same experience. Would really like to get this plugin working again!

    Same thing here – “I’m still having the problem suffered by others – when I update the options, or even press the return key when on the settings page, I’m ejected from my site. When I log in again none of the settings have been saved.”

    We have disabled every other plugin on the site, and even tried theme change – No error message, just bounced from the site admin… ;(

    Too bad, this plugin is great on multiple other sites even on this same host…

    Same problem as others – when I update the options I’m logged out of my site. When I log in again none of the settings have been saved. No error message appears, I am just logged out from the site admin and have to re-log in.

    This problem was reported with the previous version of this otherwise excellent plugin – the new version still suffers from the issue.

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      Yeah i am testing the plugin for this issue but i am not able to replicate this at all :(

    Hi There!

    I have a similar problem as others, when i logg into twitter to verify the app and twitter accepted it, it doesn’t come to the pluging interface, goes to “Google Analytics” plugin interface and none of the settings have been saved. So it’s imposibble to run the pluging properly.Great job with the plugin by the way!

    Tweet old post conflict with google analytics for wordpress – when tweet old post goes to twitter for authentication, twitter authenticates and returns with oauth_token, when we include the oauth_token in the URL it is getting redirected to google analytics for wordpress plugin.
    For time being to make it work- disable google analytics for wordpress- authorize tweet old post with twitter- enable google analytics for wordpress

      Ajay – I have tried this process multiple times and it simply won’t work.  What’s strange about this was that your plugin used to work great for my site.  When I noticed it stopped posting and tried to fix it, I get kicked out of WP every time.  It seems that there a few of us that are still having trouble.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Your app is a great tool.  Thx.

  • http://twitter.com/HomeTechDudes HomeTechDudes

    Ajay, I’m having same problem as mentioned by others below. Go in to settings and “sign in with twitter” Directed to Twitter and authorise the app, then on return to WP I’m dumped out of the site. No changes saved. Tried different browser but no change.

    Appreciate any help, thanks.

  • http://twitter.com/melbournism Leigh

    I’d like to see an option which disables a full stop from being added after the post title. All of my post titles are posed as questions, so they appear grammatically incorrect. You can view my Twitter profile “melbournism” to see what I mean.

      • http://blondish.net Nile

        There should be a work around for this to prevent conflict between any plugin. A lot of people also using Google Analytics for WordPress. I believe writing in a rule to to prevent the plugin from directing and force it to the right one.

    Hi, I’m getting the same twitter connection problem. I don’t have google analytics installed. It doesn’t connect to twitter, even after it shows that twitter authorized the app api. Please advise

  • Alice Langholt

    My issue is that even though I am authorized, and have everything set to tweet every hour, it still only tweets about every twelve hours. Can you please look into this soon? I’d really love to have this working. Also would like to avoid the random interval, or set it for less than an hour if possible.

    many thanks

    Love the add on and it works great!  Is there any way to make it work on two separate URL’s, with two separate twitter accounts that are using two separate WP installs, but under one hosting account?  I have domain A and domain B.  This program has been running perfectly under A, but when I install it under B, it comes up with the default twitter account for A, even though it is reading the categories for B.  
    Would love to be able to fix this.
    Thanks so much!

    • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

      Hi Edward,

      Do they refer to same database?
      Can you deauthorize the plugin in domain b and again authorize. Let me know if that works.

    Hi Ajay!
    This seems to be a great plugin.  Let me know if I can help you with the OAuth conflict.
    What are you calling a “Custom Field?”  Are you referring to the WP MetaData Custom fields?  I am already using the WP-Bit.lt plugin and generating short URLS for use with other plugins, so the wp_get_shortlink() is set and I really do not want to create a second set of bit.ly short URLS, particularly since I am using bit.ly to manage a custom short domain name.
    Alternatively, is there a way to check if !isset(wp_get_shortlink()) and then generate a short URL from the selected provider?
    Please left me know if you need some testing for your PRO version.

      Hi Brian,

      Thank you so much, I have resolved the OAuth conflict just testing it will post an update soon.
      Also the custom field stands for the WP Metadata custom fields, you can give the name of the custom field and it will read that value as url. Regarding shorturls I’ll check on that and let you know. 
      Thanks once again :)

    Plugin also fails with me, i have 3.2.1 version of wordpress. When i authorize your twitter aplication, twitter page returns me to my admin page of google analytics, and next, when i click again on Tweet Old Post config page, “sign in with Twiiter” button is still in the page.

  • http://www.ajaymatharu.com/ Ajay Matharu

    Hi Guys updated the plugin,
    New in v3.2.8
    - Resolved conflict with Google Analytics Plugin.
    - Changed the log file location to root of plugin folder.
    - Maintained Tweet Cycle. Repeat only when all post have been tweeted.
    - Made other optimizations and resolved some minor bugs

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=23932565 Matt Decuir

      I just downloaded the plugin, and I’m having the same issue with trying to sign into Twitter and getting the GA loop.

      • Grmmer

        The issue exists still in 3.2.8 version, i have solved it deactivating Google Analytics plugin.

        Thank you for the pluin Ajay, but it still does not work for me. Tweet Now button only worked one time, next, when i selected “include link” option the “Tweet now” action does not work.

        Next, i unnistalled the plugin and when installed again, the previous options are survived in process. ¿Are the options removed in unnistall process?

        Sorry for me Englih, Thank you again for you plugin. i will continue reporting about deployment.

        • Grmmer

          Ok, i confirm that “top_opt_XXX” values in table table wp_options are not removed in unnistall process.

    Greetings Ajay,
    Wanted to compliment you on a beautifully crafted plugin (presently implemented with  @satfeed:disqus  , http://seekeraftertruth.com)
    Would it be considerably time-consuming, challenging to expand or fork the code to include ‘facebooking old posts’ ?Right now, I’ve got facebook importing all the tweets, so subscribers do get exposure to a potpourri from the post archive.   But, it’d be wonderful if the plugin could actually make use of Open Graph Tags to include Post images to create attractive posts recycling on the facebook profile/group page, wouldn’t you say?
    Once again, thank you for this exquisite work!
    Faisal

    hi Ajay… thanks again for this excellent plugin. Wondering tho – i have a client who is bothered by the “via tweet old post” credit that shows up in twitter – i guess really only in the various twitter apps – tweetdeck, hootsuite? i don’t actually see it on the stream at twitter.com 
    anyway… they think that it makes it too obvious that the post is an archived one. Is there anyway to have the option to change that? Could it be your name instead?

    click on the authorise app button and then it redirects the plugin kicks
    me back out to the login screen.

    The back URL is:

    Hi AJ, I just updated Tweet Old Post with the latest release that you issued. This is the one that you must verify the URL of the page you are on. I followed the instructions, updated the plugin and then tried to authorize twitter. I was taken back to the wordpress signin page. Nothing has changed for me. Sorry, can you try again. I use this plugin on several other blogs and it works great!

            Were you able to find anything out about why this is happening?  I’d love to fix this if possible.  Thanks.

          • themanagr

            Yes, he said he was testing and would get back to me, but nothing since…

        • http://twitter.com/chriskresser Chris Kresser

          Thanks for getting back to us.  I also created a user account for you using your email address – you should receive login details soon.  You will see that the minimum interval is set to 8 hours and the random interval is also set to 8 hours; yet tweets are going out every 4 hours, and sometimes more frequently than that.  I’d really appreciate your help!

        • http://twitter.com/chriskresser Chris Kresser

          Ajay: any progress on this?  I’d love to get it working again.

    • themanagr

      I think I may have figured out a fix that gets it working again. I’m testing it now, but just have to wait a few hours to see. I should know by tomorrow. Hang in there! Crossing my fingers that it works!

      • Endtruth

        Can you help?  I’m not able to get the app to authorize with twitter – after clicking authorize the screen goes blank

  • Sstraus

    Hi Ajay – I’m trying to set up my account to exclude certain posts, but when I move to a new page, it clears the boxes i’ve checked before.  I tried to create an “Exclude” category, but this still goes onto 4 pages and I can’t get past checking page one.  Any idea how to fix this error?

    • Sstraus

      oh – also when I try to move to the next page to check the excluded posts, it clears the filter.

  • Anni

    Hi, just set it up for the first time and i getting errors that URL shortener is not working correctly .
    If I disable URL posting, post is  sent (but what it is for if there’s no link back to my post?)
    Anyone can help ? Do I need to do something additional regarding setting up URL shortener ?

  • http://www.humortimes.com James Israel

    Someone has probably suggested this already, but it would be great if you could also tweet pages (as opposed to posts), and have that set up separately, so you could choose that they not be affected by the date created, and it would have its own list for exclusions. I thought of this because I’d love if it tweeted about my gallery pages once in a while!

    Everytime I try to authorize the plugin with twiiter the screen goes blank – anyone have a solution?

    • Hugh Grigg

      Re-update the settings then just try to authorise again. It’s just some weird bug.

  • http://www.facebook.com/chandrakclarke Chandra Clarke Bak

    Hiya, would love to use this plugin, but can’t get past the Twitter authorization step using either Firefox or IE. In Firefox it goes through the authorization part, but when it tries to return to the WP dashboard, it says the URL is parsed in a way that will never complete. In IE, the screen just goes blank. Have latest version of plugin, FF and IE.

  • http://twitter.com/shaungroves Shaun Groves

    This is a brilliant plug-in. Thank you! But…

    I wish I could tweet posts that have a certain tag, instead of tweeting posts from entire categories. Is this possible?

  • http://www.themana.gr/ Flavio Martins

    I found a fix for some of the issues that people have been having.

    Email me flavio@themana.gr and I’ll send you the details.

    • Hugh Grigg

      Why don’t you just post your solution here so that everyone can benefit?

  • Dthomas992004

    I have this Plug-In working great on one of my WordPress sites and that was set up about 18 months ago, but in trying to set it up on another site now I am getting continual rejections and it doesn’t allow me to log in through my Twitter account

    Is there a bug or a newer version that I need to bring into my site?

  • http://twitter.com/TeacherCast Jeffrey Bradbury

    I am trying to use your plugin on one of my WP installs and I am unable to successfully connect it to Twitter. I love the plugin and I have it running on 3 other WP installs, but I am having some issues with this current example.  I recently deactivated the plugin and that didn’t seem to work. I also completely deleted the plugin and reinstalled it, and still had the same issues of it not being able to connect to my twitter account.

  • http://www.erictbenoitauthor.com/ Eric T. Benoit

    The problem that I see people reporting is because the plugin doesn’t use OAuth and twitter no logner allows apps to log in using a password. If you can get this switched over to using OAuth I will certainly be using it.

  • http://twitter.com/tariqnoorkhan Tariq Noor Khan

    Tweet old post is not connecting to my twitter account. what should I do?

  • http://twitter.com/tariqnoorkhan Tariq Noor Khan

    I think twitter has blocked this software?

  • http://www.TeacherCast.net Jeffrey Bradbury

    Is this plugin officially dead? I have 7 WP installs and not a single one of them is working with this plugin.

    Has anyone a clue to a great alternative?

    Thanks

  • http://mythicscribes.com/ Antonio del Drago

    Is this plugin still supported?  Based on the comments, it appears that it’s been having some issues with Twitter.

    I upgrade to the latest version and plugin stopped working…any advise??? It is only me?

  • CuriousLittleBird

    For those who are having issues with this plugin after updating to version 4.0.0:  try going to the “Tweet Old Post” settings in your WP dashboard, then clicking “update tweet old post options” at the bottom of the page without changing anything.  Once the page refreshes, hit “Tweet Now” to test.  When I did this, it tweeted an old post successfully.

    • http://socialmediadepot.net/ Dyane Bradley

       I’ve tried this and I’m still having problems with this. I will give it a few days and try again.

    • http://twitter.com/MyMamihood Sili, CEM

      It worked! I was authorized!!!! ;-)

  • Gia

    this plugin never worked for me…

  • Peter

    Plugin worked in the past for me, but when I recently upgraded it, it tweets all of my posts simultaneously, leaving me with Twitter diarrhea. I have it set to tweet one post every five hours, but that never happens…

  • http://twitter.com/petebarnesphoto Pete Barnes

    Same here, I’ve been using TOP for a while now but last update seems to have made it tweet every blog post all at once, which doesn’t go down well at all

    Hi Ajay! Great plugin, is there a way to tweet portfolios as well? Thanks!

  • Julie

    I just installed the plugin and it works when I hit “Tweet Now”, but it doesn’t tweet automatically apart from that. I have it set to Tweet every hour, but so far it hasn’t tweeted at all unless I click the “Tweet Now” button.

  • MobileLife

    Ever since the update all my tweets have stopped. I’ve tried reinstalling the previous version but that didn’t help. the current problem is that it won’t link to Twitter, even with the old version. The “Sign In With Twitter” button links to the current page. I’ve tried all the usual fixes, (Deactivate all other plugins and such).

  • http://twitter.com/FencedinFamily FencedinFamily

    I have the “Minimum interval between tweets” set to 4, but the only time the plugin will tweet is when I manually click “tweet now.” Any ideas how to fix this?

  • http://www.facebook.com/mralistairwilliams Alistair Williams

    Indeed I set my interval for every 24 hours. After 4 days I noticed twitter had not been updated. When I checked out the tweet old posts plugin page it then posted all the ‘backed up’, scheduled posts at the same time. This is obviously not what is required. Any ideas/ updates Ajay?? Great plugin idea, but un-usable right now unfortunately!

  • http://thechicagofinancialplanner.com/ Roger Wohlner

    I had had similar issues as the most recent posters of late, though not a severe. I find that Tweet Old Post will send out two posts at once. Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

    Hi Ajay. Have TOP set for 1 tweet per hour and it stopped sending out tweets on Sep. 30. When I try to sent a ‘test tweet’ I get this message: OOPS!!! there seems to be some problem while tweeting. Please try again. WordPress version did not change so I can’t figure out what happened. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    • Mark Lackey

      Forgot to say, upgraded to 4.02 five days ago and that is when the problem began. Tweets cannot go out at all.

    Tweet Old Post is incompatible with the new Jetpack. When Tweet Old Post is enabled, I can no longer receive comments on my blog. As soon as I disable it, the comment’s section works again. Does anyone else have this problem? I love the ease of use this plugin and would like to continue using it.

    hey I have just realized that I cannot use your plugin – maybe an idea for the future upgrade.
    I use ‘custom posts’ and it doesn’t tweet these :( I was very excited about this plugin and how it shares including categories as hastags. Let me know if you are planning to upgrade. I will not be deactivating it and will simply wait for the upgrade

    Thank you, this is a very useful plugin. But for multi byte language users, tweeted contents’ word count looks some short… Is there a development ticket about this?

  • cvrsoc

    I’ve been trying this plugin without success and suspect the reason it cannot find any posts is because all my posts are portfolio posts (using “portfolio post type” plugin). Can you confirm this?

    As of today it won’t allow me to save changes made on the “Tweet Old Post Page.” Using with ThemeForest theme.

When I go back to the dashboard… nothing has been changed.
