All of a sudden the twitter search on the site I’m working on just quit working. After messing with it I realized that it will work with other settings. The problem appears to be only when attempting to pull only tweets from a particular using.. using this q=“from:username” ... I have been able to get it to work again by changing that to q=“username” but for this particular site we only want to pull the latest tweet from this user. This worked just fine yesterday. In fact nothing changed in the code, it’s very odd. It’s like it just stopped working using that particular param. I even tried using yours q=“from:lumis” to make sure it wasn’t specific to the other username I’m using and it wouldn’t work with yours either. I wonder if there is some sort of date restriction on it? I’m honestly confused. Here is the exact tag I’m using.. {exp:twitter_search:find q=“from:lumis” rpp=“5” lang=“en” convert_url=“yes” cache=“yes” refresh=“5”} .. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tori
