Twitter oAuth - Request tokens

Question

I'm using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-twitter-connect/ to use twitter on a wordpress blog. But I've a problem with request tokens.

Here's my code:

$to = new TwitterOAuth($options['consumer_key'], $options['consumer_secret']);
$tok = $to->getRequestToken();


function getRequestToken() {
    $r = $this->oAuthRequest($this->requestTokenURL());
    $token = $this->oAuthParseResponse($r);
    $this->token = new OAuthConsumer($token['oauth_token'], $token['oauth_token_secret']);
    return $token;
}

But after clicking on the sign in button, Twitter returns this:

'Whoa there! There is no request token for this page. That's the special key we need from applications asking to use your Twitter account.'

The URL is https://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=

Presumably the missing value is the problem.

I'm hoping to then allow the logged in user to tweet from the site, yet I haven't even gone near that with the above problem.

Any ideas??

Haves you tried logging into Twitters Developer site ( https://dev.twitter.com/ ) to get your access token? If not you need to create an app which will allow access from your site to twiiter. The Directions on the developer site are pretty easy to follow.
