I got Victoria's Twitter updater for Wordpress working with the following fudge.
1. Go to your Twitter Updater options, and enter your username in 'Your Twitter account details' where it asks you for your email address.
2. Go to edit the file called wp-content/plugins/twitter_updater/twitter_updater.php and find 'function vc_doTwitterAPIPost'. Change that function entirely to the below.
function vc_doTwitterAPIPost($twit, $twitterURI) {
//check if user login details have been entered on admin page
$thisLoginDetails = get_option('twitterlogin_encrypted');
if($thisLoginDetails != '')
{
//this code based on http://www.morethanseven.net/posts/posting-to-twitter-using-php/
//
list($username,$password) = split(":",base64_decode($thisLoginDetails));
$url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "$url");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$twit");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
return '';
} else {
//user has not entered details.. Do nothing? Don't wanna mess up the post saving..
return '';
}
}
