  Why can’t readers post comments via Twitter anymore?

  Hi there,

  Do you mean logging in via Twitter to leave a comment on a blog? This is still possible by following the instructions on this page: Facebook and Twitter Comments

  If your readers are already logged in to a WordPress.com account, they can click the “Change” link to log in via Twitter when they comment.

  I hope this helps! If this doesn’t answer your question, please let me know.

  Thanks for your response. Here’s what one commenter wrote me:

  “Those are the correct instructions, but it stopped working earlier this week, and still doesn’t. As far as I can tell, googling the error code “Error: your Twitter login has expired,” the problem started started at WordPress after Twitter did an update on 6/11. I tried revoking and reinstating Twitter permission for WP, to no avail. ”

  Thank you.
