Simply Twitter

Current Version: Simply Twitter 1.0

This plugin will add a sidebar widget featuring your Twitter tweets. While there are many Twitter widgets available, this one is lightweight and simple–perfect for people looking for an easy solution with minimal configuring.

The widget also puts the JavaScript loads at the bottom of each page so if Twitter.com happens to be down or running slow, your web page won’t stall while loading.

    Under WordPress 2.6.5, after activating the plugin, in the Widgets menu (in WP Dashboard), this error on the right, near the bottom:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function esc_attr() in /home/halohalo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simply-twitter.php on line 80

  4. Dave says:

    Sorry. I had a typo in the ReadMe file. The minimum required version of WordPress is 2.8. However, if you cannot update your WordPress install and want to try the plugin, you can simply open the simply-twitter.php file in a text editor and do a search and replace.

    Search for:

    esc_attr

    Replace with:

    attribute_escape

    That should resolve the error (I can’t specifically test it because I don’t have a running install of WP 2.6, but that will fix the fatal error you’re reporting).

    I installed it today. Simple and convenient.

    Do you know of a “verse of the day” program I can use of the “free” wordpress blog? It doesn’t take plug ins (but does have widgets).?

    I haven’t used the WordPress hosted blog site, but if you can create a text widget you could paste the HTML code BibleGateway.com provides into that. I guess it depends on how much filtering their site does on the content, but if it allows JavaScript, you’ll be able to do it that way.
