Share Post via Twitter, no post title?

[thelobbyist 4]

If someone on my site clicks the Twitter share icon at the bottom of the post, it just opens a temp twitter window with a link to the post. There is no post title or anything. So if someone shared the post and didn't edit it themselves there would be no description/title of the link. Is this being looked at?

If you want to use an alternative Twitter share link, it's possible with a plugin. There are many to choose from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=twitter+post+share&sort=

Hi Catrina, Nah... the fit and finish won't be the same I don't think. I would just think that when that button is clicked there could be a code implemented to make a call for the title and the link instead of just the link.

I've bumped this up the line for a solution.

I have a fix for this, but it means editing a core file, email me [email protected] if you'd like to try it.

Pross, I shot you an email, but never heard back. Any word on a solution for this?

I have just tested the twitter link and its working. Below is a link from your site! http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=webclient&text=My+total+lack+of+faith+in+GOP+after+CNN+debate+-+http%3A%2F%2Fpln.so%2F1WOd

Whats the url of the site in question? This was added in 1.5.3

Perfect. I had not seen this was fixed in the update. Thanks for pointing that out!
