Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve put in my settings but the plugin is not sending any tweets
There are a couple of possible reasons for this:
- Incorrect username or password: Check that you’ve entered the correct username and password.
- You’ve exceeded the Twitter API limit: Twitter limits API requests to 100 per hour. If you hit this barrier, then wait and re-post.
