The error message suggests that whatever Wordpress plugin you are using is hitting some other error. Have you configured a callback URL for your Twitter app? Can you check your server logs for any more detail about the error? “Connection with Twitter failed” is not something that would have come from the Twitter API.

Again, I do not know anything about the plugin you are using, but I would check that you have enabled “Enable 3-legged OAuth” in the Twitter Apps dashboard, and also that you have set the correct callback URLs (on the same page). It will not work simply with the consumer API key and secret, you need to configure callback as well.

Hi Andy think were closer to a resolution… I believe I need to initiate the 3legged “OAuth” & call back url
Terms of service etc etc

Still working out what the https call back is specifically its not really clear and I’ve never heard of it b4

Looked on line and figured it might be something like below correct?

What do the server logs say? This could be a lot of things, like an SSL connection error, a network error, time skew on the server. I really cannot help beyond those suggestions.
