Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Youtube Video Search

Yes. The search box displays normally; searches will show a short notice asking visitors to check back later until an API key is added.

No. It's stored in the WordPress options table and used only in server-side requests. It's never printed into page HTML or JavaScript — a meaningful difference from plugins that embed the key directly in the page source, where anyone can view-source and lift it.

If you list your channel(s) and leave "Only show videos from the channel(s)" unchecked, a search first checks each configured channel for matches, places those at the top of the results, then fills remaining slots with public search results for the same keyword. Checking that box hides public results entirely and searches your channel(s) only.

Yes, up to 5, one per line or comma-separated. Each can be a @handle, a full channel URL, or a channel ID.

The plugin renders your channel's latest videos as real, indexable HTML on page load (with genuine <a href> links to YouTube, not JavaScript-only content), and includes schema.org VideoObject structured data automatically. That's a meaningfully different starting point than a plugin whose entire result set only exists after a visitor manually searches. It's not a guarantee of rankings — no plugin can promise that — but it gives search engines real content to work with.

When you configure a channel, the plugin exposes /wp-json/ytps/v1/videos — a cached, schema.org-shaped JSON list of that channel's latest uploads. It's meant for your own use: custom integrations, other tools on your site, or AI agents/crawlers that prefer structured data over parsing rendered HTML.

Yes. Each instance (block, widget, shortcode) works independently — search state, results, and the video player don't interfere with each other even if several are on the same page.

YouTube removed public dislike counts from the Data API in December 2021. The like indicator reflects a like-to-view ratio instead.

The plugin ships its own self-contained styles (no Bootstrap, no external CDN) and uses standard WordPress hooks for blocks/widgets, so it should work with any properly-coded theme. If something looks off, it's almost always a CSS specificity conflict — the support forum is the place to flag it.
