    Hello, thanks for your hard work!

    I tried to use your plugin but i had a little problem.

    This is the error:
    ————-
    Error type: “Bad Request”. Error message: “Invalid channel.” Domain: “youtube.search”. Reason: “invalidChannelId”. Location type: “parameter”. Location: “channelId”.

    Did you added your own Google API key? Look at the help.

    Check in YouTube if the id UCmYnVfnEaqTrAUxp455q7Sg belongs to a username. Check the FAQ of the plugin or send error messages to support.
    ————
    When i klick on the link it seems the channel not exists, but when i put the channel code in the search field of youtube i see the channel.

    How is that possible?

    The api is ok, that i have checked several times.

    Thanks if you can help.

    I use it on the site: https://carolinesanders.net/test1

    thanks a lot

    Hi dicki

    You have to add to your shortcode identify_by=”channelid”. If it does not work, send me your shortcode

    This is the shortcode i use:

    [Youtube_Channel_Gallery user=”UCmYnVfnEaqTrAUxp455q7Sg”
    key=”Api_key_removed” maxitems=”16″ thumb_columns_tablets=”4″ title=”1″]

    And this (with correct api_key) code give the error you see on: https://carolinesanders.net/test1

    So do i need to place an extra chanel id?
    That was not mentioned in the examples?

    Hope you can help.

    I got the same problem. I think your php shortcode code needs to be fixed. Everytime I use shortcode on page, the channel not showing my youtube channel stream but the “youtube” stream. I’ve tried to change the API and use my Channel ID or User ID, and it’s still same. I think it’s because from the php code, the user “youtube” becomes default so it will always show the youtube stream. The SS: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3361348/youtubeplugin.PNG

    Or maybe you can give another solution to us. ??

    Thank you.

    By the way, maybe your plugin also still read the old custom YouTube URL likes https://www.youtube.com/user/username. Today custom URL is: https://www.youtube.com/c/username.

    This plugin actually works well in sidebar, but there’s problem in shortcode.

    This shortcode will show the videos of this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYnVfnEaqTrAUxp455q7Sg:

    [Youtube_Channel_Gallery key="AIzaSyAdE_-upJdcp91-oedBmU0hIX3SsLFdKjw" user="UCmYnVfnEaqTrAUxp455q7Sg" identify_by="channelid"]

    Wow, thanks. So that’s the way to use “identify_by” option. ?? The stream is works well now. Thanks for your support PoseLab. ??

    This helped me! I didn’t realize that when using identify_by=”channeled”, the user parameter needs to be set NOT to the user id but the channel id. Makes sense, but since the error message output from the plugin is telling you to double check that what’s in there for “user” is actually a user ID, it causes some confusion. So glad I found this thread. Everything is working great now!

    Wow, this is the only place here to find this information, thank thexwarrior87
