View Full Version : weird wordpress DB problem

Hi.

I have several wordpress blogs running on my server. About a month ago, one of the plugins that I use the most just stopped working on my main blog. (My other blogs I used for the classes I teach where I am a grad student.)

It's called Twitter Tools and integrates my blog with my Twitter account. It is supposed to do such things as digest the tweets on a daily or weekly basis. A month and a half ago, it stopped working.

I have reinstalled everything, reset everything, tested it against all the plugins, and nothing makes it work again. Weirder still, it works on two of other blogs, and not on another. I created another blog just to see if it would work on it, and it's doesn't. It's totally random.

The plugin uses a DB that it creates, and it sucks the tweets into the DB and then creates a blog post with them at a specific day and time. (I've played with dates -- nothing.) It does this all through Cron, which I don't understand.

The blog on which this doesn't work is http://bible.gideonse.com. (The Twitter posts on it right now are from a similar, inferior plugin.) It does work on http://drugs.gideonse.com.

Any ideas? Suggestions? I'm at my wits end.

I see twitter posts there and it does say powered by Twitter Tools.

If you are still having problems, it could be a problem with the plugin, but it could also be a problem with something else on your site breaking that one particular plugin. I'd suggest deactivating every single other plugin and temporarily switching to the default theme and then do a hard refresh on your site and see how the twitter feeds show up.

You can also try reinstalling the plugin. I'm not sure exactly how the plugin works, but it may be writing code to the .htaccess or being broken by code in the .htaccess.

Also check your site's code validation here: http://validator.w3.org/

Oh, the widget works. The weekly and daily digests do not. And they've stopped working correctly on the other blogs now, too -- skipping days or publishing the same post twice.

I've tested it against all of the other plugins, and I've reinstalled multiple times.
