I have it set so that I can post to facebook and twitter from my website. I have the little "create post" button that shows up in the bottom left hand corner of my website when I log in.

It works great when posting to facebook. However, I keep getting an error when I try to post to twitter...

Thoughts?

If you are seeing an error message, can you please post it here? Also, please edit the Twitter channel you have set up in the backend to see if there are any errors listed.

The error I'm getting is: "Post to twitter stream failed."

When I edit the Twitter channel, there are no errors.

Posting to Twitter can fail if you have not granted permissions to post. Could you try to log into Twitter with the account you are trying to post with for JFBConnect. Then go to Settings > Apps and verify that the permissions for your app are "Permissions: read and write". If not, then Revoke Access and try to log in via Twitter on your site front-end again. It's possible that authenticating before creating the channel in your backend has not forced the permissions to be requested again for writing.

Try this out and let me know if you continue to have problems.
