Tweet This uses whatever the WordPress function get_the_title() returns for that post. Your installation must be returning all the HTML code. I think it must be an issue with your theme or another plugin.

That’s great! I will make a note of that for the future.

It worked! Using the url you specified in the Wordpress “Tweet This” settings: http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

In case anyone else runs into it (when I first went there, I thought “gee, I’m not a Twitter developer” and instead went to the normal Twitter interface, which also allowed me to do it. Just not with the same buttons on the right.

Looks like it’s working now, so thanks for all your help!

On a seperate note, looking at the .gif I linked for you, I realize that the appearance of the website (twitter) looks different.

To register my application, I used the normal twitter login, chose settings, and connections.

The link in your Tweet This settings actually leads to http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new, instead of http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/details/XXXXXX which I used.

Maybe my mistake - I will try with the dev link and let you know. (at least if it’s a mistake I made, you’ll know in case anyone else makes it.

Actually the instructions in the Tweet This admin interface in Wordpress were very nice and quite detailed. They mentioned choosing “Read & Write” so I had already chosen that. Also, I actually did the Reset Consumer Key yesterday.

However, I just checked to confirm I had Read & Write, and it was correct. Also reset the Consumer Key/Secret anyway (just in case).

Make sure you set “Default Access type:” to “Read & Write” in the Twitter application settings (Read only is the default). Do this by clicking “Edit Application Settings.” If it does not work then, “click Reset Consumer Key/Secret.”

Hi again,

No our twitter app doesn’t. It looks like this:

I’m sure it’ll get working soon though with all your kind help : )

That’s weird, never seen that before. Can you go to Settings > Tweet This and make sure “Tweet Text” says “[TITLE] [URL]“? If it doesn’t, change it to that and click “Save Options” at the bottom.

You’re welcome, thanks for the comment. The file is named tt-config-sample.php by default so your tt-config.php will not be deleted if you upload the new tweet-this folder without deleting the old folder.

Let me start by saying that I am not a coder by any stretch of the imagination so I do not even truly understand what I am about to post. I installed the plugin and it seems to work fine however when I click the tweet this button, this is what shows up in my twitter….
