Warning, Warning! Fix the Settings on Tweet Old Post Plugin!

Bloggers, if you use the WordPress plugin called Tweet Old Post you must update your settings after the recent update!

Most of you guys know that I’m a Twitter-holic and last week I noticed a few tweets going out from my friends that were very strange. The tweets included nothing more than a link – without a description or any additional text to indicate where the link was going. Typically when I see a link like this on Twitter it looks very spammy and I would block anyone doing this. Imagine how I felt when I saw this type of link going out from my very own Twitter account!! Initially, I thought my account was hacked but I was quickly able to determine that was not the case and figure out that the real culprit was the Tweet Old Post Plugin for WordPress.

HootSuite indicated the source as Tweet Old Post

If you use HootSuite to monitor your Twitter streams, you’ll notice that HootSuite displays the source of the Tweet right next to the time stamp. In this case, HootSuite gave me a clear indication that the tweet was generated by Tweet Old Post. I got additional clues on Twitter since I can preview any URL with the Parrot Fish Chrome extension from Embedly.

Here’s a video tutorial to walk you through the Tweet Old Post Plugin settings panel along with my recommended configurations.

I received a question on YouTube from my friend Evelyn Parham about creating a Su.pr link. This plugin will generate the Su.pr link for you “automagically” when you have the option checked off. See the screenshot below.

After I recorded this screencast I realized you need select YES to the question: Include link. You’ll see these options for URL shorteners

is.gd
su.pr
bit.ly
tr.im
3.ly
u.nu
1click.art
tinyurl

Su.pr is my first choice and bit.ly is my second. I’ve never tried the others (and some of them I never even heard of).

BackupBuddy – WP backup, restore, migration plugin

Update Tweet Old Post Now

I made quite a few recommendations in the video, and some of them you agree with and some of them you might not. Please let me know what settings you’re using and why you think they are more effective. But most importantly my friends: Update your Tweet Old Post settings right now!

I update plugins whenever update is available. I noticed that there were a couple of tweets fired as you’ve mentioned – only the link. It must be before I hit the update button.

You need to go back into your dashboard and update the settings, even after you update the plugin!

Hi Ileane. This is a timely post and thanks for the warning. I did notice that some tweets this week where nothing but just links (including mine), and I thought it was just a bug of some sort. Went over to my setting and I found out that it was at its original state. Weird because normally when plugins are update the settings are maintained. Anyway, got it all fix now and tested it, so I’m good to go. Thanks again for the warning, I would have done nothing if it weren’t for you… You Twitter star, lol

DiTesco, I think the developer should put up a warning in the dashboard that says the plugin needs to be reset. Oh well, live and learn my friend. Please spread the word! LOL!
I know you did already, I was just kidding.

Thank you thank you thankyou.

Evelyn Twitter: evelyn_parham July 31, 2011 at 10:01 AM

Hi Ileane,

I didn’t discover the problem until yesterday when Mitch from “I’m Just Sharing” brought it to my attention. I need to pay more attention to my twitter stream.

Thank you for keeping us informed and I appreciate the mention!

Take care,

Evelyn

Evelyn Twitter: evelyn_parham July 31, 2011 at 10:15 AM

I’m using su.pr, but I was using bit.ly. I use SU a lot so with your recommendation I changed to su.pr.

I use to have the time posts are tweeted for every 4 hours. I think that is a bit much, so I changed it to 12 hours. I’ll be monitoring it to see if my twitter traffic decreases or remains the same.

I was so happy to have the plugin fixed that I forgot to answer your question.

Thanks again!

Ileane Twitter: Ileane July 31, 2011 at 1:06 PM: LOL! I’m glad you made the tweaks I recommended. I saw one person with 6 links tweeted in a row!! Come to think of it, maybe that’s when I first realized that Tweet Old Post was the culprit.
StumbleUpon is a great tool for you Evelyn. Health, fitness, beauty and natural products appeal to everyone, so there’s no limit to the amount of traffic you’ll get. Don’t forget that I’m accepting your shares in my toolbar and you can send them to me from the toolbar anytime.
Sharing from the toolbar to Twitter is another way to generate the Su.pr link – just be careful because sometime it will make that same mistake of sending the link without the text. If that happens, don’t worry, you get a preview before you send the tweet and you can make the adjustment then. I cover this in another video tutorial – if you need it let me know.

Hi Tuan, when was the last time you updated this plugin? Su.pr was added to the list awhile back. I always update plugins as they become available, but this one gave me a little scare

Hi Sheila, I did the same thing! I deactivated it on Thursday or Friday when I figured out what was happening. Then I kept seeing it happen to my friends, so I figured I reactive it and make the video at the same time – that’s a two-fer.

Now we can Tweet old Posts again with making people think we’re spamming them.

Hi Ileane,

I’ve seen that this plugin sent only links also, all (by su.pr in my case) since few days ago.
I thought it was a problem with the su.pr shortener, because I see correct tweets with bit.ly, but no, it’s the plugin.

I’ve updated the settings, pressing update and I’ll see. If it continues sending only links, then I’ll need to deactivate.

Best for you!

It only goes to show the importance of checking your plugins when they get updated or even when you re-activate them, I’ve see several tweets lately with just the URL.

Mediacast Guy August 22, 2011 at 5:26 PM

Someone I follow is using this plug-in. His tweets are truncated and end mid-sentence. Since I am a firm believer that tweets should be 140 characters or less, I set up a global filter in TweetDeck to block any tweets originating from Tweet Old Post. The filter is working well.

Maybe it’s just me, but if you’re going to write a blog post, do a properly formatted manual tweet to drive people to your blog. If you don’t have the time or energy to make a proper tweet, I don’t have time to read it. Twitter should be about interaction – not automation.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Ileane Twitter: Ileane August 23, 2011 at 6:40 AM: LOL! @mediacastguy I hear you loud and clear. Thanks for coming by and sharing your point of view. You’re welcome here anytime. And just for the record – I got rid of the plugin.

Ileane,

I have been using Tweet Old Post for the past year. I am not sure if you have seen this and posted it on Ajay’s site. Do you have problems with the url shortener now coming up as an error, even when you remove it as an option?

Andy, I disabled the Tweet Old Post plugin, but I don’t think I understand your questions. Where are you seeing an error – on Twitter or in your WordPress dashboard?

Andy Nathan Twitter: andynathan October 24, 2011 at 12:31 PM: This is happening on Wordpress. It is giving an error that the URL shortener is not working, no matter if I click use URL shortener or not in the settings. Since you turned yours off, however, that is an indication that it is not me, but Tweet Old Post. Thanks!

I was won of the few who lucked out on the spammy tweets and didn’t have any. Thanks for the heads up though, I would have never thought to look until you mentioned it here.
Thanks!

A new version of this plugin has been released with enchanced features and with bug fixes.

I’d love to get your thoughts on it and maybe even a review!

Thanks for the heads up, Ileane! I think many of us forget to check the settings after an update. I know I do.
