New OAuth for Twitter Sign In
As many of you know, "api.twitter.com/1" has been retired and "api.twitter.com/1.1" is currently being used. However, many other changes have been recently made to the Twitter Sign In setup process.
Please help! I have been spending many weeks trying to set up Vanilla2.1b2 and have hit a dead end trying to set up the Twitter log in. I have a small Vanilla forum about African Tribes that I had to close two years ago due to being spammed to death. I am hoping that Vanilla 2 will offer better protection against spammers and allow me to succeed with this unique forum about the Tribes of Africa.
The Twitter Sign in just won't work and I am sure that I have set up the app on Twitter correctly per the instructions given by Vanilla. No matter what I do I still get the same error message "HTTP 403 Forbidden." Please help me correct this error and help resurrect this forum!

Are you using the latest Twitter plugin from Github? Twitter forced all the endpoints to HTTPS, and the add-on has been updated. Open your class.twitter.plugin.php and make sure the following changes were made. Let us know if that fixes it.
Adrian, it worked like a charm! Thanks ever so much. The latest code for class.twitter.plugin.php is different from the code that was bundled in Vanilla2.1b2, so new users should beware.
Now if I could get the Google login to work again, which was working but now seems to be on the "blink" due to problems at Google.
On a side note, I found out the secret to installing the new Facebook login procedure. You need to change the Advanced options in the Settings tab at https://developers.facebook.com/x/apps... They allow you to add multiple "Valid OAuth redirect URIs" so I added seven different variations (with and without "www," "80," etc.) I even went so far as to add the "kitchen sink" (http://www.example.com:80/forum/entry/connect/facebook?Target=/&display=popup&scope=email,publish_stream&display=popup) for the URI.
In any case, I hope this info helps those who are struggling to add the Facebook and Twitter Sign In buttons. Thanks again Adrian, you're a gem!
How to make it work on vanilla 2.0.8.10? The problem is same. The pop-up is saying SSL error. Changed
public static $BaseApiUrl = 'http://api.twitter.com/1.1/';to
public static $BaseApiUrl = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/';Did not work
You should look at the code more clearly and make sure did not miss one.

Thanks for making me re-look. I had missed editing another line
