"Could not authenticate you." about autoshare-for-twitter HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @nathanshumate,

Thank you for reporting the issue.

As the error indicates, it seems that something is misconfigured between the plugin and Twitter. There are a few potential reasons for this:

1. Incorrect Twitter API credentials: Please ensure that you have entered the correct Twitter API credentials.

2. Deprecated access levels: If you are still using the old Twitter access levels (Standard (v1.1), Essential (v2), Elevated (v2), etc...), you must migrate to the new access levels (Free, Basic, Pro, etc.). Please make sure to migrate to the new access levels to ensure uninterrupted functionality. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Go to the following URL: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/products
2. Look for the "Downgrade" button.
3. Click on it to migrate to the free access level.

3. The Twitter Developer App is not configured correctly: (Please confirm by following the steps below)

• Go to the Twitter developer portal
• Click on Projects & Apps on the left navigation menu.
• Find the App and click it to show the Settings page for the App.
• Click "Setup" under User authentication settings to setup Authentication.
• Enable OAuth 1.0a and Set App permissions to Read and write.
• Set the Website URL to YOUR_WEBSITE_URL.
• Set the Callback URLs fields to YOUR_WEBSITE_URL/wp-admin/admin-post.php?action=authoshare_authorize_callback and click Save.
• Switch from the "Settings" tab to the "Keys and tokens" tab.
• Click on the Generate/Regenerate button in the Consumer Keys section.
• Copy the API Key and API Key Secret values and save them in plugin settings.

Please let me know if you are still facing the issue after checking all of this.

Thank you.
