I have 1 post not tagged with “video” (written guides are new and not up yet) and it DOES appear under “written” alongside all the video guides that shouldn’t be showing up. That same video does not show up under video guides (as it shouldn’t).

@rylink I honestly think it just wasn’t working because of the \ in 25BE.

Did you need to change anything else? I’m looking to do the same thing but it appears the CSS you have here does nothing for me.

Nevermind, got it!

Almost worked. Have to play with the video width more and see. Looks like that will do the trick though! Once I get it figured out I’ll come back and post if I needed to change any of the CSS or just mess with the video width in case anyone else wants to try it.. From my initial testing it looks like I may need to add margin or something. Thanks SO much!

Wow, thanks for the quick response!

I added the custom CSS and everything works perfect now as for the sizing. I’d still love to have 2 columns though ??

As for caching, I actually set it to 48 hours – far longer than just an hour or two (I’m not adding a video to youtube every 2 hours, so I figured to make it longer was my thought)

For the loading issues, do you mean literally just the first viewer, or the first viewer from each PC/IP? I figured that may be it and loaded it a few times between different devices, tested my page speed, loaded a few more times, tested page speed, and it still seemed to add minimum 6 seconds to my page loading time. Maybe I’ll try leaving it installed for a couple days and see. My site is not currently “live” (coming soon sign although I am working directly on the live site) so I’ll give it some time and see if anything changes. This time around it’s only hitting my page speed by about 3-3.5 seconds, but it dropped my ratings. It seems to complain about “redirects” and “defer parsing of JS” that both seem to include youtube links.

I will keep it up and running though. As I mentioned, my site isn’t “really” going live for almost a month, so once I’m done fiddling, do a database cleanup etc. it may help a lot.

Not sure what your issue is, but just to let you know I just set this up using a child theme and was able to use a custom post template. Are you sure you actually uploaded the modified version, and not the original version to your child theme folder?

lixation are your sure you used your channel id, and not user id? What’s your exact shortcode (with your api code XXX’d out of course)

@elevensuns what’s your shortcode? I’m having an issue where the player just shows white but the thumbnails show now.. when I play a thumbnail I can hear the video but not see it, so wondering what you’re doing and if it’s working right.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I seem to be having the same problem

Hey, had this issue as well, it is because of newer youtube channel’s. I found how to get mine to work, here is my example

[Youtube_Channel_Gallery identify_by="channelid" user="UCrVBB-ecSJdwHGYH264c6mA" key="myapikey" maxitems="9" thumb_columns_tablets="4" title="1"]

You need to add identify_by=”channelid” but leave it set as user=”yourchannelid” So when you go to you youtube channel it will be youtube.com/abunchofjumbledcharacters so use “abunchofjumbledcharacters” in the user section (even though that’s actually your channel id and not user id)

Thanks you for the quick reply. I’m not sure what is doing it, but it is showing up on other devices. It is only on my laptop that it does not appear.. which is odd as I use the same browser on both.
