@scyto,

We'll take this into consideration for sure.

a note, these were all created as new apiv2 apps and worked. then i added oauth2 - maybe that broke it.

i only got menu to created standalone apps once i applied for elevated access

maybe the instructions need to be updated to reflect the changes in the twitter, i did best i could as the instructions don't match :-)

i just applied for elevated access, created a new app with the same settings, it works - maybe elevated access is now needed?

I have 'essential access' is that good enough or do i need elevated access?

@asti

1. Yes confirmed email.

2. I don't believe its under review - nothing says that anywhere.

3. It was working, it stopped working. I don't know why.

@scyto,

Are you sure the application is not yet under review? Have you confirmed the email address?

I notice in the browser console the following error is thrown as https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token= is processed

Error parsing a meta element's content: ';' is not a valid key-value pair separator. Please use ',' instead.

I wonder if twitter changed something... breaking your code.... this isn't the only plugin having issues with twitter login via API....

I thought i got this working a week ago, but now I am getting this error.

Things i have tried:

regenerated API keys
turning off oauth2. on the application
verifying the call back APIs look right (and adding an additional callback for the network url as well as site URL)
checked my email is verified with twitter (i think it is) i don't see anything in the twitter dev dashboard that indicates an issue
