Can activate but that is it. No options page and no widget show up.
Found the problem, in this line you put in the wrong directory name.
[code]include_once($root.’/wp-content/plugins/kishore-twitter/functions.php’);[/code]
change to;
[code]include_once($root.’/wp-content/plugins/kish-twitter/functions.php’);[/code]
sorry, that is from the file kish-twit.php for anyone who is trying to fix it.
And then it broke my sidebar when the widget was put in there. Oh well, it is still buggy and I don’t have the time to debug.
Jeff - use the code to display the widget < ?php if (function_exists('printKishTwitter')) printKishTwitter(); ?>
Jeff I have cleared the path problem, please download and overwrite the files
once i install he widget,it broke my sidebar…
Thanks for all the work you’re doing on this plugin. Today’s update of the plugin installs fine, and I was able to add the widget.
For some reason, it combined with my Recent Posts widget when I put the recent posts before Kish Twitter, and when I put Recent Posts AFTER Kish Twitter, It takes away all the themes styling of the widget. I’m using cutline, which is a pretty popular theme. Also, My tweets don’t show up, but I was able to add a tweet when that feature was enabled, so I figure I had the user/pass correct. Any ideas?
-midcpro, it depends on the theme you use. I have tried on diffrent themes, some do have problems like this. try using the function to display on different location, it should work, can you try putting the widget on the left sidebar
-vion - Its again compatiblity problem with the theme design, I will update with a fix for this
good article, very useful.
