Social Widget Plugin for WordPress (Twitter, Facebook, RSS)

January 20, 2011 — 277 Comments

Back Admin Panel (Left) - What it Looks Like (Right)

[Note: If you've downloaded the first one, please make sure you update to this completely new plugin!]

About three months ago I released the first iteration of my take on what a “social widget” WordPress Plugin should be and since then it’s been used so heavily that I’ve decided to up the ante, so to speak, and re-write it literally from scratch, with the help of my good friend and amazing developer, @MoreTom.

From the outside it looks like almost nothing has changed but internally (the code) has been almost completely re-written and is completely optimized. The difference is so large that I decided to not even call it a “version 2″ and just re-release it and also get it hooked up into the WordPress Plugin Repository!

So, without further ado, the new and improved (but completely different) TentBlogger Social Widget! Here’s the official description:

A lightweight, fast loading and clean looking social widget to capitalize on the “Big 3″ on your blog: Twitter, Facebook, and RSS. Share your tweets from Twitter, your Facebook Profile or Page, and a RSS Feed of your choice.

Think of it as a Twitter Widget, Facebook Widget, and a RSS Widget all in one with a slick and simple unified appearance.

For those that are a little bit more “geeky” here are some of the improvements and changes that have been made:

The Sweet 411:

  • Built and tested against WordPress 3.0 and up. Ideal environment is WP3 and PHP5. Highly recommend you move to PHP5 since WordPress itself is recommending that you upgrade!
  • Built using jQuery 1.4.4. The relevant code uses its own namespace so it shouldn’t interfere with any other plugins or widgets that use jQuery.
  • Localization files provided. Just need to use POEdit to provide the local translations.
  • Tested in IE8, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.
  • If a user is comfortable editing CSS, the widget’s styles are located in the plugin’s /css directory but it’s built to theme nicely with whatever theme is being used.

Go and Download it Here from the WordPress Plugin Repository!

Of course (for those interested) here are the differences from “version 1.0″ (which was more of a BETA):

  • Completely re-written (100%) from the ground up.
  • Lighter-weight – uses CSS for effects when possible so not to require as much JavaScript.
  • Implementation is cleaner and should gracefully handle some of the errors experienced in the first version.
  • Uses updated WordPress API functions (no more deprecated function calls).

So, if you’ve download the previous version then you need to update and get this new one immediately!

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions and the amazing response to this plugin! Let us know your thoughts and whether you’re using it in the comments!

        Hi there. I’ve downloaded your plugin. Looks great when it works which isn’t all that often at the moment. I keep getting this error message:
        Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_items() in /var/www/jo/jonstott.is/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tentblogger-social-widget/tentblogger-social-widget.php on line 160
        I also decided to drop my facebook account on this plugin because it didn’t show anything. Can you please advise?

    I can’t seem to get it to look like it does on tentblogger.com…is it supposed to be edited with code or something to get it to look like that? Or just simply upload/activate? I’m using a Headway theme

      Hey Chris,

      The latest version of the plugin looks different than what’s here on TentBlogger.com.

      This is by design so that it integrates more closely with whatever theme a user is running.

      You can, however, update the included stylesheet to skin it like this.

    Hey John,

    Is there a way to add multiple social widget widgets to the front page? I want a total of 3 of these (3 different columns)tracking 3 different #hashtags.

    BTW…I am getting this error: “Error establishing a database connection” when www. is not on the front of the URL. Might be a temp issue.

  21. Fredrik Hulth January 21, 2011 at 10:15 AM

    A little flaw is that the little “Link”-link on the tweets do not like to be that easily translated. Apart from that, I like it big time!

    Just added it to my blog. I need to play around with the styling a bit still (out of the box it came up with a transparent background and was hard to read), but it’s up and running.

    Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but when I checked the “Use Fade Effect on Tabs?” box, it broke the tabs. They would show up and the content for Twitter was visible, but then clicking on either of the other tabs just brought up an empty content area. Then when you clicked back on Twitter, it wouldn’t repopulate. When I turned it off, it worked fine.

    I deleted the plugin because it didn’t update all day and then reinstalled it and styled it. Still isn’t pulling my most recent tweet though. Really bizarre, not sure what else to do?

    Sorry to bug you about this. It’s really a great plugin that I hope will start updating!

    ps…This may be a long shot, but could it be something involving my actual Twitter account? Maybe there is a preference that isn’t allowing me to share? Ha, I don’t know but thought I’d throw it out there. :)

  31. aaron February 7, 2011 at 6:57 PM

    I too have that issue with delayed if not all day lack up updates to the plugin. I like the look of it and really like the plugin, but the tweet feed seems to be as much as 24 hours off at a time. What is showing right now I said 12 hours ago for example. It seems to only pull the tweets like once a day and then not refresh again. I’ve looked everywhere for a setting but can’t seem to find one. Any ideas? I only have Standard theme widgets and Flickr RSS feed running.

    Is really ready? Appears to work for some and not for others. I’m in the latter category.

    After putting the widget in the sidebar and entering what believe to be the correct info (more detailed description of what is required is needed) I see the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_items() in /home/personx9/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tentblogger-social-widget/tentblogger-social-widget.php on line 154

    I see the three chicklets, but nothing happens when you click on them.

    Hi,
    I really like this widget so far. I’ve had trouble finding a simple one to feed from my Facebook Fan page to my website sidebar.

    This is probably going to sound stupid – but how to figure out the badge? I’ve tried facebook.com/balanceyogawell and the Facebook name: Balance Yoga Wellness + Ayurveda, and even copying all the Badge code from the facebook page that you give the hyperlink to.

    Twitter works great.

    Can you help?

    Hey John, how do I get the widget to only show my Twitter avatar and not my username? because when I enable my avatar, it shows it right next to my twitter name instead of how it looks in the screenshot.

    There’s also a white line displaying on the tabs now when its on a background other than white.

    This can be due to a couple of things (either Twitter or the frequency of requests that are being made to Twitter from this plugin on your blog).

    Disable it for an hour or so, re-enable it. If it still happens, let us know.

    Regardless, we’re making a note and will aim to patch this soon.

    Hi John,

    I started using this a couple of days ago and liked the way it looked, plus it is easy to use.

    Occasionally it would show an error on my twitter feed, which would go away if I refreshed my page.

    Then just about an hour ago it stopped working, and all the text disappeared from my blog with it. After I removed the widget, all my text reappeared, my blog was fine again. So I reset the widget back into my sidebar and whammo, all my text disappeared from my blog again.

    So now I have disabled the widget and I am wondering what is going on. I am noticing others having some problems.

    Thanks

    Hey, I’m having trouble with the plugin, the code generated in the sidebar adds a few , which is weird. So it messes-up the markup on my site. The weird part is that these ending div tags use the same comment style as the theme I’m using. It produces:

    (((note, this closes the opening div for the sidebar widget )))

    (((Note: see here, it adds these here :( )))

    (((this is my code after the dynamic sidebar code))))

    Anyone know why this is? Or how to fix it?

    I would like to thank you for your plugin. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that it altered the paragraph formatting of every article on my website. Now I get to go in and reformat all of them. It’s only 81 posts, though. How long can that possibly take? I can’t wait to redo all of that work!

    Thanks again!

  73. John Lyman August 3, 2011 at 1:37 AM

    While I greatly appreciate the fact that you’ve created an easy to use tabbed widget might I suggest that you design it more inline with similar ones used by Washington Post and the New York Times with their widgets.

    The look of your widget, while good, I feel could be greatly enhanced by making it more similar to theirs and this would definately increase your downloads.

    Thanks and this isn’t meant as a slight against your plugin.

    Only my assessment.

    @Michael and @JohnSaddington, did the issue with Standard Theme and Tentblogger ever get smoothed out? We are having an issue (similar to most users’ “Fatal error” problems), so we are eager to find a solution to that, but we are using Standard Theme from 8Bit as well, so I was just checking in to see if there was an update.

    Very cool plugin! Thanks so much. I have a couple of questions, if you don’t mind:

    1. The Twitter feed hasn’t updated in about 16 hours.

    2. The right side of the Facebook box is cut off.

    Can you help? Many thanks!

    This looks great but doesn’t seem to work (using wordpress 3.3)

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/79/8667579/html/wp-content/plugins/tentblogger-social-widget/tentblogger-social-widget.php on line 238

        This error on line 238 is still there. It disappears when you activate one of the three options in the widget. The error triggers another error: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (… in the si-contact-form plugin. That disappears as well after activating one of the options.

        I am using WP 3.3.2.

        By the way: checking Show avatar for twitter does not show the correct avatar for tweets that have been retweeted. I’ve switched it off now, but it would be nice if this works correct.
        Great plugin though.

    I’m replatforming (can’t even believe I’m using that word) and love the elegance of this plugin. My twitter tab looks great. I’m having trouble getting the Facebook badge code for my fan page (wishcraftworkshop). Any advice? THANK YOU SO MUCH

    I just got the following error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_items() in ………/tentblogger-social-widget/tentblogger-social-widget.php on line 160

    I deactivated the plugin. I use WordPress 3.3.2.

    See also the bug I published earlier today in this list.

    twitter hasn’t updated for us in about 5 days. I tried deleting the widget and the plugin and reinstalling. It’s not reading the values in the widget options. Even if I change the twitter name to someone else, it is still displaying our tweets from days ago. Any pointers on what we should try?

    Hey John, when I try to use twitter in your widget it gives me the error “There was a problem retrieving your Twitter feed.”, what could it be?

    Hoping that the issue is going to be resolved soon. I also fight with the problems of the posters above. It just stopped retrieving my Tweets some time ago and now is just displaying the old tweets.

    Noticed John is no longer updating the plugin. First THANKS for an awesome plugin.

    Found this hack on WordPress and it worked for me to resolve the twitter feed issue. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/twitter-change-url-to-rss-simple-patch

    Also noticed that I can no longer use the “fade effect” option as it complete wipes out any of the feeds.

    Good luck and hope this might help some other people.

    Thanks again John! You do great work.
