FAQ
- 1. Why didn’t my comment appear immediately?
-
Posted comments are often delayed by a short time, even though they appear immediantly on YouTube.
- 2. Why am I still logged into YouTube after signing out?
-
Sign out only cancels the ability to post comments. Users can only sign out completely from YouTube/Google.
- 3. Do I need to signup for a developer account?
-
A developer account is only required to post comments. You can show comments without a developer account.
- 4. Why do I get an error message “redirect_uri_mismatch” when signing in?
-
The redirect URI must exactly match your site’s URL. An extra trailing slash is enough to cause that error.
- 5. Can I use a custom field for videos?
-
Yes, a setting is provided for custom fields. YouTube Comments supports the “Automatic YouTube Video Posts” plugin, and the “deTube” premium theme.
