WP HTTP Error: Couldn’t resolve host
what is that mean?
I would be nice to be able to display a certain hashtag… would you consider this for future versions?
Sure, it would be great to have a live feed of tweets about #something
Great plugin – congrats – works like a charm, the only thing i miss is that i cant choose that the URLs could open in a new window
Modified line 307:
From: Text Alignt (left/center/right/justify)
To: Text Align (left/center/right/justify)
Notice the t after Align
Also, the parameters for alignment and such do not seem to work. And the text is being chopped off on the left and right in the scrolling box.
And if I enter text in the None of these words field I don’t get anything happening in the scrollbox.
Excellent widget,thank you… but I can’t set the language to English. I click save and it reverts back to ‘any language’
I removed the widget – the text appears outside and to the right of the box. Only the title appears in the box. I also set the text color to black but the theme’s style sheet overrides the widget settings and display the text as red. I am using WP 3.0.1
Great bunch of pi’s you got here! Hard to decide a favorite.
I have 2 questions.
1.- Can I write in the “twitter searh word” more than one word, I dont know 3 or 4 words ..?
2.- How many time it’s update msg display ??
Help me..! pls
great job..! Can you help me with before question ?
yes, you can enter n words “http://search.twitter.com/” search the words using this link and in the search result page, click feed,
the same result u ll get in the widget.
Thanks
Great plug-in! I am having a problem with it displaying search results it is just telling me that there is no content available. I have tried a variety of search terms, but with no success. I have also tried the searches on twitter and they all work.
Can you please let me know if there is anything I can try to resolve the issue? The site is currently pw protected, so please let me know if that could affect the functionality?
Thanks!
Jack
Hi, installed yesterday and it looks great, thanks.
The initial set of results appeared but it doesn’t look like it’s updating. The same tweets appear and they’re now 20 hours old.
The search term is London taxi and I’m running the latest WP installation wordpress-3.0.2. Any ideas please?
Just updated the language setting and current results now appear again. I’ll check again in a few hours to see if that’s fixed it.
Hey just a heads up, you forgot to define the script type when you call the .js file. It throws the Xhtml validation off
On your site the error is here:
Line 520, Column 158: required attribute “type” not specified
Just needs the type defineing then the Xhtml validates nicely as you can see from my site
Great plug in
.
would be nice to have the relative time.
on another note, if you want to use more than 1 keyword, Twitter has the ability to use operators like google (OR and AND). Your search term can be something like so:
chickens OR “I Love Chickens” OR mycoolusername
Hi, great plug-in thanks! Is it possible to put the widget directly on a page instead of the sidebar widget?
Nice plugin. 3 suggested features:
a.) That it remembers the selected language (every time I hit save the default – all languages is overwriting my selected english)
b.) Ability to block all tweets that have a link.
c.) Ability to show more than just one tweet.
Thanks otherwise
The problem I found (easy fix I am sure) is that it skews to the right, almost touching the right margin (even in your demo here.) On some themes there is no way to get the text off that right hand border line.

Great Job… Only one little thing…
Hen opening a link in the widget, the user is taken to the page-but in the same window as the blog!
Could you have at least the default be to open a new window, please?
If anyone else wanted, perhaps a choice in the configuration, but for now a good fix would be _blank
Thanks for a great widget!
P.S. A bit of REGEX (AND OR) wouldn’t hurt!
I second (or third) the open in new tab/window option. I want to keep users on my site, not drive them away.
Didn’t like the fact that a cick took the user away frm the blog, so I made the .php look like:
[...]
if ( $link == ” ) {
$myLink = $title;
} else {
$myLink = ‘‘ . $author . ‘: ‘ . $title . ‘‘;
}
$myLink = mysql_real_escape_string($myLink);
[...]
Making this selectable in the set GUI would have been ideal, bit I can’t spend time on your excellent plugin right how.
Sorry:
[...]
if ( $link == ” ) {
$myLink = $title;
} else {
$myLink = ‘‘ . $author . ‘: ‘ . $title . ‘‘;
}
$myLink = mysql_real_escape_string($myLink);
[...]
Better?
The plugin does not work correctly in Wordpres 3.1.1.
But it is an excellent idea especially if you could search for hashtags
Sorry my English
This is way more helpful than ayinthng else I’ve looked at.

Hello,
Wondering if this is possible…
Rather than entering a search term is it possible to use the post-title from each post? So users can see comments regarding each post-title.
Cheers
Post scroll plugin available in my plugin list.
I looked at the plugin. I should clarify my previous comment. A twitter feed search based on the post title.. Is it possible?
Great plugin 1 suggested feature:
- Show images beside the tweets from the users
Hello,
love the widget, but is it possible to scroll only tweets from a specific username?
It would also be nice to show not only tweets from that user, but tweets that mention or are in reply to that user.
Thanks,
Brendan
To amend my previous comment (after more carefully reviewing the comments… sorry) Is it possible to see ALL tweets from a specific user, not just the tweets that were posted recently?
can i post it on a page by using shortcode
These days of austerity and also relative panic about running into debt, lots of people balk resistant to the idea of making use of a credit card to make purchase of merchandise or perhaps pay for a vacation, preferring, instead just to rely on the particular tried plus trusted method of making payment – cash. However, in case you have the cash on hand to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, this is the best time just to be able to use the credit card for several factors.

This doesn’t seem to work in fetching the feed on WP 3.3.2? With a valid twitter name only the “no announcement text” appears.
I found your Twitter plugin the other day and added it to my blog, and was pleased by how easy it is to configure. When I opened the blog today though there were no messages in the widget.
The problem seems to be with messages that contain apostrophes. They are quoted verbatim in the script your widget adds to the page, and this results in a syntax error, because your strings are single quoted. A filter to convert symbols into their equivalent html escape sequences would probably fix this.
I can confirm that this is not working in 3.4.1
Can you tel me what is the issue?? With your comment we not able to solve the issue.. so please give more comments… as per my testing this is working fine..
No matter how I set it up it always just says “No Content Available”
Is there an email address or PM that I can send my url to?
Thanks
Use contact us page.
Sent an email. Do you think you can help?
i got the mail, check and reply in week end.
Any Progress
I need this plugin to work for a client. What is the status?
$url = get_option(‘gTSRSSfeed_rssfeed_main’);
That is not returning the correct twitter feed url
Is thee any support for this, it was working and now it’s just stopped fetching twitter feeds
Hi Gopi, could you help me please I don’t understand the widget. Where do I put search terms?
There’s:
Enter Twitter Username @IPGuides
Widget Title: Tweeters
Font : verdana,arial,sans-serif
Font Size (Ex:13px): 12px
Font Weight(blod/normal) normal
Font Color (Ex: #000000) #000000
No Announcement Text : “No tweets showing at present”
———–
Width (only number): 180
Height (only number): 120
Slide Direction(0=down-up;1=up-down): 0
Slide Timeout (1000=1 second): 3000
Text Valign (top/middle/bottom): middle
Text Alignt (left/center/right/justify): left
that’s all there is, I can’t see where I put search stuff in.
Please find the updated plugin.
Well I am having a weird problem, if I put username gopoplus it shows tweet but anyother shows nothing, second of all where do i put search keywords?.??
No search key word option from version 3.0
Ah ok, based off what Imi just said there’s obviously a config file.
Doesn’t work. Seems like a nice idea though.
Sorry I don’t have time to debug this. I’m moving on to a widget that works. Too buggy!
Now option to scroll horizontal
http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2012/12/19/twitter-tweet-horizontal-scroll-wordpress-plugin/
What is the best method to override the css?.
I am using yoo-themes and wordpress.
I attempted to change the a:hover but it does not respond, to any of the changes
I’m trying to use this plugin on WordPress 3.5.1 but it doesn’t show any tweet. It builds the html tags (divs, etc.) but just prints out the word “undefined”. Any clue?
The php line of code is:
echo do_shortcode(‘[twitter-real-scrolling username="arquidiocesisbb" height="30" display="3"]‘);
This plugin has stopped grabbing feed from twitter. Do you know what is going on?
Chances are this plugin hasn’t been updated to use Twitter’s new API. The old one was retired on June 11.
