Links in video description

    When you add links to a video description on YouTube, the url is pasted in plain text and converted to an html link on the YouTube page. When the description is imported by your plugin the links are just plain text. Is there a way to change that or is that a fix you could do? Thanks

    1. Open the /wp-content/plugins/automatic-youtube-gallery/public/templates/gallery-thumbnail.php file.

    2. Find the line,
    <div class="ayg-thumbnail-description" style="display: none;"><?php echo wp_kses_post( $description ); ?></div>

    3. Replace it as,
    <div class="ayg-thumbnail-description" style="display: none;"><?php echo wp_kses_post( make_clickable( $description ) ); ?></div>

    4. Save the changes and check now.

    Hope, this solved your issue!

    That solved it, thanks. I’m not really a fan of hacking plugins, it will have to be redone after every update. But if this is the best solution I can live with it.

    Our next version will have this fix included. So, no worries.

    Perfect. I also changed the code in the theme-classic.php file so the main video description are links also.

    <div class=”ayg-player-description”><?php echo wp_kses_post( make_clickable( $featured_video_description ) ); ?></div>
