Shortcodes for Grid views don't work for playlist or channel
-
As suggested on the WordPress plugin page YouTube for WordPress/Description:
Some shortcodes that come bundled with YouTube for WordPress
[yt4wp-video video_id=”123456″] – single videos embed
[yt4wp-playlist playlist_id=”123456″] – playlist embed
[yt4wp-grid playlist_id=”123456″] – playlist grid layout
[yt4wp-grid channel_id=”123456″] – channel grid layout
[yt4wp-grid search_term=”WordPress Tutorials”] – search term grid layoutWhen manually placing in a page the single video and playlist embed shortcodes work fine but if any of the grid shortcodes are used the videos do not display at all.
In the Admin section under browse, I noticed that the only way to add videos is by adding a single video or adding a playlist embed. The grid view or channel view don’t seem to be available either.
Below is the code that I placed in the html editor on a single page.
playlist grid layout:
[yt4wp-grid playlist_id="PL0ceE5f8nCK8XL3zDCsZR_q5VoeqrWUYC"]Returns: “Oh No! Something went wrong while retreiving the playlist. Double check the playlist id is correct.”
channel grid layout:
[yt4wp-grid channel_id="UCjeTg-Scsj9jqEYKJm9FlLw"]
Returns: the number 1.I really like this plugin but for my purposes the grid view is essential.
