Like many of the bloggers on WordPress I automatically share my posts on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. 98% of the time it’s a smooth process and my posts magically appear in the Twitterverse, but occasionally there’s a glitch requiring a reset. It’s usually a quick fix and the mundane aspects of my life are once again available for folks to like, comment on, or best of all, retweet.
This past week while I was battling diverticulitis I noticed that Twitter wanted me to change my password. Apparently they’d had an issue with an entity gaining access to their passwords. Well, I’m not the most tech savvy person in the world, and I couldn’t quite figure out how to change the password, so I thought I’d log out and log back in. Seemed simple enough.
Except that Twitter wouldn’t allow me to merely sign back in, forcing me to create a new account. And now, I can’t get WordPress to let go of the old Twitter account so that I can share my posts on the new account. I mean I realize there are bigger issues at hand in the world right now, but this is annoying. I must be feeling better if I have the energy to be bugged by this.
If any friends have suggestions I’m game, just remember to type really slowly so I can understand.
Peace, people.

Well your old one obvi is still showing your posts. Do you not have an email address registration.? I had this with twitter last week too but I was able to sort it all through my email address?

I don’t know. I thought that was what I was doing. So, my old account is still active?

Indeed it is. The latest tweet is in fact. My twitter issue…… have you tried logging out of twitter and then logging in with your email address to the old account and doing forgot password. They will send you a link to reset

I would go with that the above commenter suggested – try logging in with your old email address to your twitter account and using the ‘forgot password’ link – so you can then reset it, and you won’t need to change your twitter account address in wordpress!!
