Why am I exceeding the rate limit? I thought that was the whole point of having the cache.... please advise and thank you for your help.

Are you using the version from this thread? (1.10) Of the one from the downloads section? (1.03)

I've tried the 1.03 version too and have the same problem :(

Thank you for all your work, it's running great. It also cleared up an SSL issue I was having with a different sidebox. Cheers!

If nobody else is experiencing this issue, I have to assume its something with my setup. I have an idea for a workaround...

Is there a way to change the setting of how often it tries to update the Twitter cache? If I could change it so it rarely tries to update the cache or only updates when I do a manual update through ?refresh_twitter_cache that would be ideal. I don't have a problem manually updating it whenever I post a new tweet since I don't tweet that often anyway.

Is this possible?

Stopped here too :ohmy:


The cache file shows:

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
  <error code="34">Sorry, that page does not exist</error>
</errors>

Maybe Twitter changed the url/api ?

OK I found the solution!

In includes/extra_configures/twitter_cached_sidebox.php

change in line 29 the url from

Code:

---

// Twitter Status url
define('TWITTER_BOX_CACHED_URL', sprintf("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/%s.xml?count=%d", TWITTER_BOX_CACHED_USER, (int)TWITTER_BOX_CACHED_COUNT));

---

to this

Code:

---

// Twitter Status url
define('TWITTER_BOX_CACHED_URL', sprintf("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/%s.xml?count=%d", TWITTER_BOX_CACHED_USER, (int)TWITTER_BOX_CACHED_COUNT));

---

and will work again :)

Great! Thanks soki!

Applied the change, refreshed the cache, and it works again :clap:
