Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about My YouTube Channel

Please folllow Installation instructions. The plugin does not work with a premium theme or clash with another premium plugin We cannot afford licenses for various premium themes and plugins to keep the fee plugin My YouTube Channel working with each of them. If My YouTube Channel clash with a premium theme or plugin, we can help you only if you help us. Ask theme/plugin author for approval to provide a package to us for debugging on local development domain youtube-channel.wp. Upload the installation package to your cloud drive (Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive, iCloud, WeTransfer or other) and provide a share link to us by contact form. I set everything correct but receiving 'Oops, something went wrong' message As a logged-in administrator, you will see an error explanation. Known issues: YTC ERROR: Please check did you set the proper Channel ID. You choose to show videos from the channel, but YouTube does not recognize MyCoolLegacyName as an existing or public channel.

YTC ERROR Check YouTube Data API Key restrictions, empty cache if enabled by appending in the browser address bar parameter ?ytc_force_recache=1 Try to remove restrictions by referer or IP in your YouTube Data API Key and refresh the page after a couple of minutes. If that does not help, please try to create a new API Key for Server w/o restrictions (not to regenerate the existing one).

If there is no YTC ERROR code in HTML source, visit Google API Explorer and append to the end of URL one of resource ID’s based on your Channel ID: for videos from channel replace UC with UU in Channel ID (so UCRPqmcpGcJ_gFtTmN_a4aVA becomes UURPqmcpGcJ_gFtTmN_a4aVA) for videos from Playlist simply use Playlist ID (like PLEC850BE962234400 or RDMMjUe8uoKdHao) Note that both resources are playlists (including uploads to channel), so append mentioned ID to field playlistId (not to id), and click Execute button at the bottom of that page. If you receive some error in results, tune parameters in APIs Explorer. If there is no error while the response is empty, and you are sure that there are public videos in selected resource – contact Google Support. If there are video results but not displayed with My YouTube Channel plugin – check topic Read before you post support question or report a bug and then start new support topic.

You will be able to reproduce HTTP Error w/o WordPress if you have SSH access to the server hosting your website. Log in to shell and run the following command (or ask your developer to do so): curl https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems You will get an HTTP Error from the curl command or response like the one below. { "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "reason": "required", "message": "Required parameter: part", "locationType": "parameter", "location": "part" } ], "code": 400, "message": "Required parameter: part" } } Known HTTP Errors: error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown message digest algorithm Server tool curl has built with an older version of OpenSSL that does not support certificates signed with sha256-With-RSA-Encryption. It requires at least OpenSSL 0.9.8o for the total management of SHA256. Please contact your server administrator or hosting provider to help you with this issue. Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) Yet another server issue, not related to My YouTube Channel nor WordPress. Please restart Apache (or Nginx) server. If that does not fix the issue, restart the entire server. Or contact server support to help. Getting message Sign in to confirm you're not a bot when video start play The issue is not related to the My YouTube Channel plugin but YouTube itself. Although Google indirectly refers to the cause in the article to which the link 'Learn more' leads, you most likely use a VPN, proxy, or shared public IP address. The IP address has a lot of traffic, so Google wants to verify whether the client is a bot or not. To resolve this, use another VPN or proxy.

Login to your YouTube account and visit page Account Advanced. Channel ID is YouTube Channel ID value composed of mixed characters starting with UC.

Check out Customized URL overview article.

Manually extract Playlist ID from YouTube playlist URL. Find string after &list= parameter in URL. Playlist ID can contain lowercase and uppercase letters, dash and underscore characters. Regular playlists starts with uppercase letters PL (like PLEC850BE962234400), while Playlist ID for YouTube mixes start with uppercase RD (eg. RDCfMMlT8Lyns).

YouTube provide better videos if the height of the embedded video is 320 or more. If you use a small YTC video size, 240p will be loaded instead. It's not possible to force 720p in tiny YTC. I enabled option `Hide YT Logo` and YouTube logo is still visible The modestbranding option does not work for all videos. A lot of videos still have the YouTube logo in the control bar. We recommend enabling the option Hide player controls instead. The logo appears in the upper right corner on hover or when the video pauses. Read more here

Start with following shortcode combination: [youtube_channel num=7 responsive=1 class=ytc_wall_1-6 resource=2 random=1] Then add custom CSS code to Customizer, or child theme style.css or to Head & Footer Code plugin: .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container { padding: 5px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 33.333%; } .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container.ytc_video_1 { max-width: 100%; } @media screen and (max-width: 768px) { .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container:not(.ytc_video_1) { max-width: 50%; } } @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container:not(.ytc_video_1) { max-width: 100%; } } That will show thumbnails for seven random videos from the default playlist defined in plugin settings: one full-width thumbnail and six remaining thumbnails distributed to 3 columns on wide screens, two columns under 768px and a single thumbnail per row under 480px.

My YouTube Channel does not support pagination.
