Twitter API v1.1 update

Twitter v1.1 API Update

We’ve just pushed an updated theme version to update the Twitter assets within the theme, in line with the new v1.1 of Twitter’s API. The v1.1 update requires oAUTH access, so we’ve had to incorporate that into how the theme pulls in Tweets.

In order to update your sites, what you need to do is:

Update your version of the theme via the WordPress dashboard.
Install the Twitter oAuth Feed for Developers plugin.
Follow step 1 from the guide here to create your Twitter APP, and get the required keys/tokens – http://www.webdevdoor.com/php/authenticating-twitter-feed-timeline-oauth/
Enter these keys/tokens in Settings > Twitter Feed Auth.
Check your pages, the Twitter widgets should work as expected.

I’ve tested and confirmed this as working, so you should have no issues at all. If you do, please double check the steps again and confirm you have everything created and set up correctly.

CHANGED THEME FILES

where can download directly theme update? theme forest its version 1.5.1

Trying to manually update and I’m having the same issue. The latest version doesn’t seem to be up at ThemeForest, and the WP automatic upgrade deletes all of my custom template files whenever I run it. I’d much prefer to have access to the downloaded files so I can just run a diff checker and replace what’s needed in the changed files.

Thanks!
