Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Feeds for YouTube (YouTube video, channel, and gallery plugin)

Yep. You can display multiple feeds by creating them with the customizer and adding the feed ID to a shortcode.

You can embed a gallery directly into a template file by using the WordPress do_shortcode function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[youtube-feed feed=1]'); ?>.

The Feeds for YouTube plugin should work in compatibility with most, if not all, caching plugins, but you may need to tweak the settings in order to allow the feed to update successfully and display your latest posts. If you are experiencing problems with your feed not updating then try disabling either 'Page Caching' or 'Object Caching' in W3 Total Cache (or any other similar caching plugin) to see whether that fixes the problem and the feed displays and updates successfully.

Yep, just use the following setting: Feeds for YouTube > Customize > Video Experience > When does video play? You can then set the video to play when clicked or to autoplay.

This free plugin has several layout options built into it. Use the settings in the following location to display your videos in a list, grid, or gallery layout: Feeds for YouTube > Customize > Layout. You can also change the spacing/padding between the videos by using the "Spacing between videos" setting in this same section.

Yep, you can choose to display between 1-50 videos in your feed by using the following setting: Feeds for YouTube > Customize > Layout > Number of Videos. The plugin also contains a "Load More" button to allow you to infinitely load more videos into your feed.

Yes. All feed layouts are completely mobile responsive. Using the plugin's gallery layout will automatically scroll visitors to the video player to view the video when the video thumbnail is clicked.

Yes. The plugin will cache all of the posts collected from the API. Your YouTube videos and information about your channel can then be retrieved and used for future page loads.

You can display videos from any YouTube channel using the unique YouTube channel ID. This can be found by viewing the channel page on YouTube and looking at the end of the URL. ex: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1a2b3c4D5F6g7i8j9k. You can also use the channel nickname or enter the YouTube handle when creating a feed.

The plugin has a few features to minimize the impact it has on page load time. For example, iframes for playing YouTube videos are not loaded until the feed is interacted with by a visitor. Thumbnails of your YouTube videos are the smallest resolution necessary relative to the size of the feed. Also, these video thumbnails are not loaded until the rest of the content on the page is loaded.
