New version of Tracked Tweets available

I have just released an update for Tracked Tweets. I have modified the code used to get the shortened URL from TinyURL, as the old method was not working. This was due to the security settings on some servers. I was originally using “file_get_contents()”, then I switched to “fopen()”, and when that was still having trouble, I wrote a function using curl.

Hopefully this resolves the errors users were experiencing with missing URLs, or complete breakage of the “Add Post” functionality in wordpress.

Other changes:

  • Fixed donate link
  • Added CSS – very few inline styles now
  • Cleaned code

Now that this is fixed, I can hopefully get back to feature enhancements.

If you have already installed the plugin, you should see the upgrade message soon. If you would like to try it, it is in the wordpress plugin directory.
