Looks like something didn't copy across right on my move to Mosso. I grabbed the missing files.

Attackr : Replace Your Home Phone With Skype For $6.95 per month (Yes, Really).

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:18:46 +0000

The skype site DOES say: "No emergency calls with Skype. Skype is not a replacement for your ordinary telephone and can't be used for emergency calling." However, I suppose it's up to the individual. Maybe just have a backup plan?

I just added some screenshots to the wordpress.org site. They were all taken last night and this morning on a 2.7.1 install, which means it's working. Can you try disabling your other plugins and then testing again?

Everything you're talking about has to do with the styling of your theme. You'll need to add some CSS in order to properly style the widget.

What I'm saying is that when you enable the "Twitter Widget Pro" plugin, then you need to go to the widgets management page in your admin section and add the widget titled "Twitter Feed" (this is the Twitter Widget Pro widget) to one of your widget-ready sections, adjust the settings, and save it.

Xavisys : WordPress Google Analytics 1.2.2 Released!

I should probably check to see if it's set before I use it to fix the notice. However, that's a pretty standard check for HTTPS. The alternative is to check the port, but that's less reliable in my experience. That line should probably be something like: $site_url = ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on')? 'https://':'http://').$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

If you're using WordPress 2.7+, please upgrade to version 1.3 of the plugin. Twitter limits the number of calls that you can make in an hour. If you use something like tweetdeck or twhirl then each reques that those make is counting toward your total. With the older versions of Twitter Widget Pro, if you didn't have some sort of caching solution set up, each page load was another request to Twitter. It's very easy to exceed the 100 requests per hour limit. The new 1.3 version only checks twitter if it has been at least 5 minutes since the last time if checked. That means no more than 12 requests per hour.

This is definitely an issue with using PHP4. My guess is that your host offers PHP5 but that you probably have to enable it in your control panel, through .htaccess, or by asking them.

Were there no tweets to display? Also, if you're using WordPress 2.7+ could you try version 1.3 to see if it fixes the issue?

It looks like I screwed up and didn't update the supported WordPress versions correctly. Unfortunately you'll need to have WordPress 2.7+ because the widget has been rewritten to use the HTTP class that was added in 2.7.

There should be a widget called "Twitter Feed" that's described as "Follow a Twitter Feed". All the settings (twitter user name, error message to display, etc) are in the widget itself, because each instance works independently.

Unfortunately, the problem is similar to the RSS widget. If you try to load a feed and it can't get it for some reason (if the plugin can't get your Twitter feed), it get immediately deactivated. What is your twitter user name?

It's not possible right now because Twitter removed that functionality. If you check the readme you'd see: Why can't I display a friends feed anymore? Apparently the database queries required to display the friends feed was causing twitter to crash, so they removed it. Unfortunately, this is outside my control.

Well, I have my title set to: <span>follow on twitter</span>Xavisys News Then, I have a lot of CSS applied to it: .widget_twitter { background: url(images/news-content.gif) no-repeat bottom left; height:auto !important; height:130px; min-height:130px; } #content-right .widget_twitter ul { padding:10px 20px 0 10px; } #content-right .widget_twitter li { list-style:none; margin:5px 0 10px 0; } .widget_twitter div { background: url(images/news-head.gif) no-repeat top left; padding:10px 0; } .widget_twitter h2 { color:#009BD5; font-size:12px !important; } .widget_twitter .entry-meta { display:block; font-size:80%; } #content-right ul li.widget_twitter li a { color:#87AE4A; } #content-right .widget_twitter h2 span { color:#87AE4A; float:right; font-size:10px; font-weight:normal; padding:2px 8px 0px 0px; text-align:right; width:110px; } Lastly, the image is custom made for this site. It's not part of the widget.

When you add the widget to your sidebar, you need to click the edit link which will expand the box and show the settings. This this the case with all the widgets that come with WordPress as well.
