Logging on to a twitter ( social sites ) throwing up a fatal error.

Hi,
I have a strange issue regarding social networking plugins used on my website using vanilla. The plugins were working fine off lately. However these were disabled for a while. Now when I enable them again and try to login using the credentials they throw up an error which is mentioned below. I understand that this might be caused to curl. But I see through phpinfo() that curl is enabled on the server.Could anyone please guide me on this ? Thank you.
Fatal error: Wrong parameters for Exception([string $exception [, long $code ]]) in/hermes/waloraweb095/b2597/pow.globaldelight/htdocs/globaldelightforum/plugins/Twitter/class.twitter.plugin.phpon line 305
Regards,
Varun

Welcome to the community!
What version of Vanilla are you running?
Twitter recently deprecated parts of their API and this may be causing you issues. What version is your Twitter plugin?

It's a known error since Twitter changed the API
Open up the following in Twitter Plugin folder
class.twitter.plugin.php
find the line that begins with:
public static $BaseApiUrl =
It should be line 34. change the URL from the v1 version of the API to

Cheers guys the problem seems to have been resolved now. I owe you a beer @adriansonline
cheers. Its due to the same reason you mentioned up here. Thank you.
However there is this small thing that's like eating up my brain. When I use the facebook plugin to Login , it will take me to a page where I need to enter a uniqueID .. I am not really sure on how a unique ID should look like or If am doing something wrong with the settings. Though I have tried all sorts of combinations for a unique ID it keeps on looping on the same page and does not take me forward .. Twitter works absolutely fine.. Any light on this one ?? Thanks in advance
Just not sure why I am not able to find Facebook , GooglePlus plugins so that I can upgrade to the latest versions
Bingo! Just the help I needed too. Thanks.
Thank you for the help @adriansonline
