Checking things in the XPoster Pro settings, I see the connection to X is set up but incorrectly configured

Last Status Update: 403 (No post) » Forbidden: Your client app is not configured with the appropriate oauth1 app permissions for this endpoint.

Either way, the exception should be caught by the plugin.

[joedolson]

Can you tell me what type of image you set as the featured image?

[bramus]

Nothing special. The most recent post I published has https://www.bram.us/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AQ5RAHpMaM.jpg set as the featured image. It’s a thumbnail saved straight from YouTube.

This used to work before X changed their API requirements.

[joedolson]

What version of XPoster Pro do you have? I haven't been able to reproduce this yet. The actual exception is happening in an upstream library, so I'd prefer to go in the direction of preventing the error.

But

[bramus]

Latest ones: XPoster 4.2.6 (noticed the update to 4.3.0 went out the other day) + XPoster Pro 3.0.0

[joedolson]

So XPoster Pro 3.0.0 is very old; that was the terminal release of WP Tweets Pro. You'll want to switch over to XPoster Pro: https://xposterpro.com. I sent out an email to all active license holders at the time I made the switch to host Pro on a different website, but you may not have seen that.
