Description
Hi! This is Ernesto, current editor of LL Journal ( http://lljournal.commons.gc.cuny.edu ). Today I have been doing some customization work in our WordPress site, but after trying to install a Twitter plugin as a widget, the site suddenly stopped running as usual. That happened more than 7 hours ago. I wonder if it is a problem related to our chosen theme, Old Paper (http://themeforest.net/item/oldpaper-ultimate-magazine-blog-theme/7431822). Otherwise it could be related to the mentioned widget.
Please, let me know how to fix this problem. We need to launch our brand new site this Friday, so I'm more than concerned about this situation.
Best regards,
Ernesto

Hi Ernesto,
Have you tried disabling the twitter widget? It's entirely possible that there could be a plugin between this widget and your chosen theme. You can access the dashboard by going to [your blog URL]/wp-admin
Hi Matt,
Thank you! I disabled the twitter widget ("Twitter widget Pro") and the site is running well. Now I need to install the correct Twitter plugin that allows connecting our Twitter account with the new site. Could you recommend a non-conflictive Twitter plugin, please?

Hi Ernesto,
You can search plugins for "twitter" to find other options, but I am also assigning this ticket to Scott Voth to see whether he has other suggestions.
Hi Ernesto - I see you are using "Tweetable" now - Are you having any luck with it? I actually like the "Rotating Tweets" plugin - you might try that one (set up is very easy and has a lot of display options/animations). I was wondering if your theme has any built in support for Twitter - I looked at the demo and didn't really see any.
Hi Scott,
I have been trying to install "Rotating Tweets" in my site, but I could not authorize any Twitter account. I'm worried that, just as you mentioned, my theme has any built in support for Twitter. I created an application management with my Twitter account, hoping that it enables the connexion. But it did not work. This is information that, I think, could help to fix this problem:
Consumer Key (API Key) W87CIFFusGESlQbbwDg5WJ2SK
Consumer Secret (API Secret) 2vRdzqQ0FZHj8WVBimmdFSLzEGrYAxn7A0KRzx5pTmAQyaMQhl
Please, let me know how to resolve this situation.

Hi Ernesto -
For the Rotating Tweets plugin, you need to provide 4 different "keys/tokens/secrets" - it is not as "friendly" a setup as I remembered. You can go to Settings>>Rotating Tweets to find the instructions and where to insert. I attached a screenshot of the 4 items you need. On Twitters "Application Management" - you might not see that there are four tabs. Go to "*Keys and Access Tokens*" and you will find all the information that you need. Copy and paste into Settings page.
You might want to disable the "Tweetable" plugin - in case it is cause conflicts. But I think the problem is that you have not set up all the four fields for "Rotating Tweets" and maybe are setting up details for Tweetable instead. Twitter changed its API a year or so ago, and now requires more information. They make it very complicated - but the good news is that once it is set - you won't need to worry about it anymore.
Let me know if this works.
Hi Scott,
I've just realized some mistakes I made. It works perfect!
Best,
