I have just bought the Uptown theme and installed it in a nopCommerce 4.30 site.
After adding the required keys to the Social Network configuration for my Twitter account I saved the settings and pressed the Authorize button.
This opens a popup which shows the following XML code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><errors><error code="417">Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob'</error></errors> - Please visit the LINQ to Twitter FAQ (at the HelpLink) for help on resolving this error.

Seems like the Social Feed plugin is using an old authentication method?

Yeah, ran into that same issue a while back — it’s caused by the plugin still relying on the old oauth_callback method (oob), which Twitter no longer supports for web-based apps. Kind of surprising it's not updated yet, especially for a theme as polished as Uptown. I ended up switching to a custom integration using Twitter’s newer API v2 — a bit of work but at least it’s stable now.

Funny enough, I was debugging this late one night and took a break on Mostbet — https://mostbet.net.in/promo/bonus/ ended up hitting a bonus promo and kind of forgot how annoyed I was with the plugin 😅 Worth checking out if you need a breather while waiting on the devs to push a fix.
