As you’ve seen on my Twitter feed, there are some posts from my blog which are prefixed with “New Blog Post: “. These are tweeted with the Twitter Tools WordPress Extension. This extension interfaces your WordPress powered blog to Twitter by creating digests (daily or weekly) or individual posts for each of your tweets, and can post tweets to link to your blog posts. However, for the last few days I’ve had an issue where it posts a tweet with the title of my post, but excludes a link to the post.
I searched for the answer for almost an hour this morning, but never found anything valuable. However by trial-and-error discovered that if you disable the Twitter Tools -Bit.ly URLs plugin, it suddenly worked! This does mean that you can’t use short URLs from Twitter tools, but it solved my problem nonetheless.
