Twitter WordPress plugin – Autolink to Username

Seeing as it is International WordPress Day, I’ve written a new WordPress plugin that auto links a twitter at username (like @lantrix) in a post automatically.

Developed initally on WordPress 2.3, it has successfully been tested on WordPress 2.7.1.

Most of the other plugins out there either did this only in their “badge” or “widget” or where too full featured. This is a simple and quick plugin to get links in place to twitter people for the lazy blogger.

Visit my plugin page, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 1010

Looks like I am not the only one.

There may be a couple of issues here.
