In spite of all attempts, reading every instructions out here, I cannot get this thing to recognize the API key. I did everything it said in the google does. The correct API (youtube 3.0) is enabled. I have the credentials, set to the correct website. WHY won’t it work?

When CookieBot CMP is in use, it correctly prevents the YotuWP video player from displaying, but the placeholder is not displayed, so the user only sees an empty space.

Hi there

First of all, I really like the plugin and it works great. I noticed that there are some deprecated notices in the error log.

Creation of dynamic property YotuWP::$cache_timeout is deprecated
– wp-content/plugins/yotuwp-easy-youtube-embed/yotuwp.php:289

DeprecatedCreation of dynamic property YotuWP::$views is deprecated
– wp-content/plugins/yotuwp-easy-youtube-embed/yotuwp.php:393

This can easily be fixed by adding the two properties to the class.

class YotuWP{
public $cache_timeout;
public $views;
public $data;
....

Looking at the lack of responses in the support forum, I wonder if the plugin is still being developed…?
Will there be future updates and fixes?

Best, Daniel

Hi

Thanks for this great plugin and for recent security updates ??

By the way, the bug (and solution) reported here “Video Description not shown” was not implemented in last release. Please can you do it ?

Also can you add “topicDetails” as a “part” in the videos url like we can retrieve video’s tags ?

Thanks & cheers

Hello, we’ve been using the plugin for a number of years without issues. We recently moved server, and noticed that it wasn’t working any longer. We updated the IP in the Google Console for the API, but it didn’t work. We tested using HTTP restrictions, but then we get a blocked referer error.

It seems like others also have this issue https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/requests-from-referer-are-blocked-2/, but there are no solutions. Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

We are using the plugin with a site in a WordPress network (multisite), where it’s not the main site.

Hi Support

We are experiencing an issue where the dirty check in the plugin javascript file is not working due to the window.YT.loaded property always returning undefined. In testing in chrome using overrides, changing the window.YT.loaded check to windows.YT.Player resulted in the yotuwp.init function being called.

This issue manifests when the Youtube iFrame API is already injected in the page, and when the window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady event has been missed.

An example of the working code is:

var yotu_check = setInterval(function() {
    console.log(window.YT.Player);
    if (typeof window.YT !== 'undefined' && window.YT.Player) {
        if (!yotuwp.ready)
            yotuwp.init()
    }
}, 10);

Hi support

In testing the plugin, when a youtube iframe tag is detected, and the “onYouTubeIframeAPIReady” event is missed, the dirty check to call the yotuwp.init() function is not working.

In testing by overriding the javascript, the window.YT.loaded condition is never returning true, thus the init function is never called. It could be that because the loaded property is not documented it has been removed. Changing window.YT.loaded to window.YT.Player addressed the issue for myself. You could even check if window.YT.Player is a function if you wanted the extra check.

var yotu_check = setInterval(function (){
	if (typeof window.YT !== 'undefined' && window.YT.loaded)
	{
		if(!yotuwp.ready) yotuwp.init();
	}
}, 10);

I received a notification last week that this plug-in was removed from www.ads-software.com due to a security issue. I’ve sent a few requests to the developer via their contact form on their website, but have not heard back. i don’t want to keep bugging them, but I need this plug-in to work (i bought the Pro version). Does anyone know if the team is working on a fix?

Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion critical vulnerability reported by WordFence for YotuWP:

https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/yotuwp-easy-youtube-embed/video-gallery-youtube-playlist-channel-gallery-by-yotuwp-1313-unauthenticated-local-file-inclusion

Just checking to see if this plugin will be updated soon and is still supported.

thanks

Private videos show up with a broken thumbnail in the grid.

It would be great if these could be hidden via a setting in the plugin.

An alternative would be to give these a css class like

<li class="private-video">

Then it would be easy to hide then with

.private-video {display:none;}

Currently code runs: check_file_writeable on each admin request. This method causes running directory check even if user has cache disabled. This underneath causes get_filesystem_method to be called which will recreate single test file on wp-content directory.

In my opinion it should only be called once (while cache is enabled) or during save.

Hi, You should correct this for php 8.1 / 8.2

Hi,

Hi there,

I’m going to start using your plugin but it says Untested with the current version of WordPress. Could you let me know if I should use it or not?

Secondly, how could I show videos in the slider?

Thank you

I just noticed that I’m getting this error on my live site:

Forbidden: You do not have permission to access resource on this server.

I don’t know how long this has been happening. I haven’t checked that everything was working for at least a few months.

My staging site, with a different theme, several plugins turned off and with all the security measures disabled, doesn’t exhibit this problem.

But I thought I’d check here first before I turn things on and off and troubleshoot.

I noticed that on a site I developed, I am getting this “Requests from referer are blocked.” This used to work, and I’m not sure when it stopped working. I’ve checked the Credentials in Google Developer Console, and even tried removing the website restrictions and selecting No Restrictions, and I still get this error. I double checked the API key, and it is correct. Anyone have any ideas to help get this working?

Thanks!

I have problem with setting page of the plugin. Can’t see any settings page

Hello,

On our site only the first video (the default) loads and can be seen.
On the other hand, when you click on the title of a video, in the list below, nothing happens.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Ho scritto anche al supporto ma non ho ricevuto risposta il plugin non adatta la dimensione del video su smartphone quando viene visualizzato un video a schermo intero posizionando in orizzontale il dispositivo. le dimensioni vanno fuori display <font _mstmutation=”1″></font>

Hello,

I’ve read the forum and have notice there are other people with the same issue but no answer adressed, being the related topics already closed. So, I’m opening a new one, hoping to have a different outcome.

From a while now (since I’ve updated the plugin but I’m not sure to witch version), the descriptions of the videos just stop showing, even thought I have them ON in the pluggin settings. Tried also to force them ON in the shorcode directly, not working either.

This happens no matter the Video Layout Template I use.

Hope you can help me work this around or corect it if it is a bug in the plugin code.

Thankyou very much

Maria

Hello, I would like to know if your plugin is compatibly with PHP 8.2? Reason why I am asking is that WP Engine will not support anything below that. Please see their alert message we received from them. “WP Engine’s PHP 8.0 will be reaching end of life on October 31. Prepare your websites for the PHP 8.2 upgrade to experience increased security and performance.” Thanks for your time.

getting this fatal error

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in /wp-content/plugins/yotuwp-easy-youtube-embed/templates/grid.php:12

You have the option in the plugin to give pagination. if so, which type do you support this function. I have many videos. and I don’t want to show everything on the page at once

Hello! I would like to list the title of all videos of my playlist without the thumbnails. How can I do this?

In an other list we would need the thumnails, the titles and all meta data. Is it possible to click “Like”, add comment ?

Hi,

The YotuWP keeps deactivating itself every day and I have to manually activate it again. Also, I keep getting an alert to set up my API key, although I have input the correct one from https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/

How can I resolve this?

Are you aware of and working on a fix for this vulnerability?
