What about the Old Version?

In August 2012, Twitter announced that they were releasing v1.1 of the Twitter API. In February 2013 they confirmed that v1 of the API would retire on 5th March 2013. This is because of an update Twitter made where they shut down v1 of their API and promoted their Embedded Timeline. Included in this retirement is the RSS feature that powered the old free plugin.

Twitter Feed Pro is now fully supported with the new API (v1.1)
