    After upgrading to the latest version of wordpress, my blog is showing the following message at the dashboard.

    "Twitter recently changed how it authenticates its users, you will need you to update your Twitter Tools settings. We apologize for any inconvenience these new authentication steps may cause."

    What are Twitter Consumer Key, Twitter Consumer Secret, Access Token and Access Token Secret

    You need to go to twitter.com, login there and create an API for yourself. Or go here dev.twitter.com. Fill up the form and those keys will be provided to you.
