Something has gone crazy with Twitter "share"

  • Unknown's avatar

    Not sure what has happened. Nor am I sure how to fix it! Somehow, when I go to tweet an article from my “share” button, it used to say “via @wordpress” and now it has the twitter handle of one of my authors. This author is not an editor and doesn’t have the ability to make these changes.

    We like our authors, but as she is an occasional contributor, it’s not exactly what we want going out with every tweet! Help me change it back!

    Thanks!

    I have checked the problem. You should ask her if she did something wrong or try to remove her social details from her wordpress account i.e. disconnect her twitter from wordpress. I think it will help.

    Have a look under Dashboard>Settings>Sharing and see if something is entered under

    Twitter username to include in tweets when people share using the Twitter button.

    . If there’s something there, try deleting it and saving the changes. If there’s nothing there, please post back here.

    Another thought, are you publicizing your multi-author site posts to a single twitter account? If so, is it the account of that author?
