You will have to be more specific and there are many users who are already using this plugin and I have a demo setup as well…So if you are getting errors, you should tell me what errors. The errors may not have something to do with this plugin.

This is an excellent plugin but I am getting a lot of errors during the plugin install.

Hi!

Just wanted to say that your program is incredible. I’ve installed it and I just have one comment as well as one suggestion.

Comment:

At the end of my posts, the time and date of all my posts is as follows

31 Dec 1969 18:59

Can it be set to the current date and time? If so, how?

On my suggestion:

I’ve seen one Twitter Plug-in give the option of excluding the “@ replies” of the user as seen on the plug-in. Can this option be included into your program?

Great job again and thanks!

In addition, I noticed that the caching goes bad and returns always empty (which is shown as two posts from 1970…) when you change some of the settings, i.e. from type search to type user to type friends and v.v. Changing the nr of returned posts is not reflected directly.

The solution to all this I found in deleted the cache directory manually, in which case it is automatically rebuilding. You might want to add that as a feature too: remove cache when settings change.

Very nice looking plugin you have here. I’ve no idea why people at the wordpress.org site don’t give you the credits you deserve. There maybe still some tweaking to t done, but it’s looking awesome as it is.

A few small remarks though. When the width goes below 250 pixels, the design looks distorted. This is because of the “Follow me on Twitter” text. Removing it solves this, or shortening the text. You may want to make the text adjustable.

A related problem is that when you have smaller text, it fits the top bar, the twitter icon (top right corner) will drop one line. The reason is that the div around “follow me” text is positioned with “left: -30px”. Use “margin-left:-30px” (about line 84 in your CSS) and the problem goes away.

Still, it is nice if whatever text a user has in the caption bar, the design won’t get distorted. To solve that, add a fixed width to the top bar DIV and a overflow:hidden to it. This will solve future problems with this.

Then I also have a feature request: it would be nice if we could have a different keyword to search for per post, or even automatically retrieved the tags per post or header or both. That would add so much value to this!

Still a five star plugin for what it offers out of the box!

PS: see the workaround for the floating div problem here, or any other page on my site.

The width and height are customizable through the settings –> “WordPress Twitter”. I am not sure why you say that is needs much space…

It’s interesting concept, but it really need much space

Oops! I replied to your previous comment without scrolling down to read this one. I’m glad I could be of assistance in fixing the problem.

I am not sure why you want to remove the “Follow me on Twitter ” text….any particular reason?
