Tweetily “Sign in with Twitter” does not work [SOLVED]

Tuesday, 2013.06.18 J.D. H. One comment

I initially had a problem with the Tweetily plugin, specifically there seemed to be an issue with connecting Tweetily and Twitter.

UPDATE: I contacted the plugin author and he kindly suggested that I Reset Settings in Tweetily, in conjunction with other steps, that suggestion eventually worked for me. I have updated the steps below to reflect the new information 🙂

@jdhodges can you try and click the reset settings button and then authorize again?

Updated Tweetily solution:

Preliminary steps: reset settings, deactivate plugin, re-activate plugin

Reset Settings can be found at the bottom of the Tweetily settings page

I used the ‘Reset Settings’ button and authorizing, but that still failed.

However, I DID get Tweetily to work when I did the following:

+Reset Tweetily Settings
+Disable Tweetily
+Disable Google Analytics for WordPress plugin (as there seemed to be a potential conflict between this plugin and Tweetily)
+Enable Tweetily
+Reset Tweetily Settings
+Perform the normal four steps below…
+Enable Google Analytics for WordPress

Normal first step: Sign in

Click: Sign in with Twitter

Second step: Authorize via Twitter

Click Authorize App

Third step: Redirect to WordPress admin interface

Wait while redirected

Fourth step: Enjoy!

Success!

Conclusion: great plugin & responsive author

Tweetily is a great plugin and I appreciate the plugin author taking the time to suggest that I reset my Tweetily settings. That suggestion in combination with disabling/re-enabling the plugin did the trick! I hope these instructions are helpful to others as well. 🙂

Best regards,
