I’m embarrassed to say that I sent the first version of Twitpic-it out with a bad URL.
I caught the error tonight when I loaded Twitpic-It to another one of my blog sites and tried the Twitter login test. It kept failing and I was confounded. In debugging, I found that I had hardcoded the WP Admin URL to the site that I was doing the development on.
This bug was a result of my borrowing the code from Alex King’s Twitter-Tools, and in my haste to see if I could make it work, I hardcoded the URL and forgot to go back and make it dynamic. The test login requests for any site other than my test site were dying when they hit the WordPress Admin nonce checking mechanism, so no harm was done.
This has been fixed as of 4/21/2010, and I apologize to the 70 or so individuals who downloaded TwitPic-It before I realized my mistake. It was not a small mistake in my eyes, even though it caused no harm. It does highlight the amount of trust we place in the developers of our WordPress plugins, and I do not want to abuse that trust.
Sincerely,
Byron Bennett
