I’ll add it to my TODO list.

Hi,
Can this plugin post a digest of tweets based on a #tag, rather than by a twitter account?
i.e. 20 posts from today on #weather (or whatever).
Thanks,
Kenny

The plugin runs when it is activated, so on the first time you activate it, there is no username/password in the database and thus you get this 401 error. Try de-activating the plugin and activating again and that error should go away. You won’t see the post of your tweets until after midnight tonight though.

I’ll add the feature of specifying what hour you want the previous day’s tweets to be published at to my TODO list.

I’m trying to find a twitter digest that works becuz I’ve been having troulbe with Twitter Tools. This looked good, but it keeps giving me a 401 error. says:

Error retrieving tweets. Make sure your username and password are correct.
Status: 401
{“request”:”\/statuses\/user_timeline.json”,”error”:”This method requires authentication.”}

Also, is there a way to set what time this thing will update?

tbeck – The plugin seems to have stopped working for me. My wife’s updates haven’t been posted in several days. Any idea why this would happen?

There is some sort of conflict with the Wordbook plugin that causes Twitter Digest to break. Not sure what the issue is, but de-activating Wordbook should fix the problem.

That’s very odd. It should be published automatically when the post is created. The post does go through the draft->publish cycle in order to trigger any hooks that bloggers might want triggered (like a normal post), but the status change to publish is literally two lines after the post is created. Go ahead and publish the post if you like and we’ll see what happens tomorrow. I’m assuming you didn’t see any error messages anywhere. Thanks for the input.
