I'm trying to set up a new tweetnest and am unable to do it for some reason. I have successfully set up a Tweetnest before and don't know what I'm doing differently this time.

I've created a Twitter app and got the consumer key and secret. I've uploaded Tweetnest to my webspace, and the setup page appears to display okay.

In Chrome/Opera: if I go to the setup page, fill in the key and secret, and click the 'sign in with Twitter' button, I get the error message (displayed as the sole content of a new page) 'Could not connect to Twitter. Refresh the page or try again later.'

In Edge: if I go to the setup page, fill in the key and secret, and click the 'sign in with Twitter' button, I get the error message (on the setup page) 'Not all required fields were filled in!'

What am I doing wrong?

I am afraid I am getting this error too. I am not too sure what to do.

@Inskora I have managed to install manually by filling out inc/config.php, then copying it to the root directory and creating mysql tables using the queries in setup.php. Hope that might help...

No idea why this is happening - my php is rusty!

step 1: https://apps.twitter.com/app or go to your app setting

step 2: Unchecked the (Enable Callback Locking (It is recommended to enable callback locking to ensure apps cannot overwrite the callback url)) This box..

save and exit and check..

ThankYou..!

Had this issue too, quite easy to fix

The solution to this is quite simple:

1: Go to https://apps.twitter.com
2: Select your app that provides you the API keys to TweetNest
3: Enter the same URL that you have listed in Website box in the Callback URL section
4: Save changes
5: Refresh TweetNest
6: Have fun!

Sorry, but I have this issue, too – years after ...
I run the solutions given by @geekafy aswell as this by @Sachin124 (didn’t find the check-box, so I tried to leave the field empty. But it is recommended...). Tried to regenerate the keys, also this doesn’t work.

So, what should I do now? The plugin is just what I'm was looking for, so it would great if I get it working...

Didn't find the reason for that behaviour, might be the rights-handling on my linux server is a bit ... anyway...
Thanks @wknowles : So did I and it works! Anyway, I didn’t copy the config.php to the root...
