Video does not embed in post but thumbnails work as a widget.
Thanks

]]>It must be something dull or silly, but I’ve tried a lot of stuff and nothing has worked. Everytime I try a different username/url/channel id/whatever, I get the same (annoying by now) “Invalid Channel Name – check spelling” sign.
]]>Thanks to @ianmacin for pointing out files and directories missing from the WordPress repository version of the plugin.
The plugin is fully updated now and should work. If it doesn’t, let us know.
]]>If you don’t see the External Videos admin tabs, there is a javascript error being thrown by your theme or one or more plugins.
Please check your browser console log and let us know if you see any errors in the console when your browser is loading the WordPress dashboard, External Videos settings page.
You may have to enable the console in your browser:

As of 2017, the plugin does not throw any errors of its own. If you find the error we will research the solution for you.
Please help resolve your problem with this small step. Without some indication of the problem we don’t have time to look into it – it could be a million things, none of them under our control.
]]>I just installed your plugin to pull videos from my channel and I cannot find the External video tabs on the Settings page. I read in an earlier post what you recommended to another user facing the same issue. I deactivated all the plugins on my site as well as cache plugin excluding the required theme defaults plugins and this did not fix the issue.I also checked the Javascript console and there was no errors there.
Any further idea?
Thanks
]]>I just installed and activated this plugin, however under the Settings link, there is a settings tab, but no other tabs for YouTube, Vimeo… etc.
Is the plugin broken?
from the description “Your videos, once imported, can also be added to any other post via the media library, or presented in a gallery using the shortcode [external-videos]. ”
that’s not something I’d want to do, want to play not download
thanks
]]>Hi there,
From one day to other, my site stopped importing videos from Vimeo.
I created the Vimeo app again and added: “Client ID” and “Client Secret”
it seems to connect, but I always get “Found 0 video”
Cold you please confirm if plugin is not working with Vimeo anymore?
I will be happy to help fix it.
Best,
Andres
Is this project on Github? I have a very small code fix to clear up a php error.
If the external-videos post is a draft and does not have a $duration, $host or $thumbnail:
The function
sp_external_videos_custom_columns($column_name)
on line 647 of external_videos.php is throwing an “array_key does not exist” error
My fix simply checks if these returned values exist and if so, array_shifts to the first key.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/14/5617514/html/wp-content/plugins/external-videos/google-api-php-client/src/Google/autoload.php on line 19

set_include_path(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/external-videos/google-api-php-client/src/Google');
This should append to the include path instead of overwriting it. This breaks another plugin I have that has added its own references to the include path.
Syntax should be like:
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path_to_add);
Getting an error message that says this device is no longer supported. Please help urgently. A major part of our website depends on youtube videos.
]]>Hi
Greetings,
Its a great plugin to use. But I am facing serious problem. When I select a video from the video gallery, a popup appears and plays that video. But when I close that video, the video keep playing in the background. I have used this on one of my client website.
Please go through it and let me know if any solution for that. I am looking forward for the solution asap.
Thanks & Regards

Hi!
I have some trouble using this plugin with some Gantry Theme and plugin.
You can found it here with some free theme :
https://gantry-framework.org/download#wordpress
My problem is that when I click on External Videos category link or any category containing videos imported with this plugin it displays :
“Sorry, but there aren’t any posts matching your query.”
When I create some article and post it into “External Videos’ category” it only displays this article in this category and not all videos.
(With default WP theme it’s working.)
So it seems that the fact of having some custom type “external-videos” causes trouble to Gantry’s themes.
Is there a way to fix this with Gantry themes or having articles instead of “external-videos” type?
Please let me know.
]]>Hello, great plugin! Is there a way after videos are pulled, and categorized, to use a shortcode to embed on a page that will automatically grab one category of videos to place on the page. Like the Video Page shortcode, but only by category? Thank you!
]]>Hi,
with the – i thing 3.9. – version appears a little problem of this little tool.
In the full single view of the video the size of the video ist 640. That is to big. But i dont change anything. I only put that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV8ef87JtfA f.i. in the post. But at the end in the code for the site appears the size of 640. I dont find the reasons
<iframe class=’youtube-player’ type=’text/html’ width=’640′
Can you help?
Thanks for that
Best regards
]]>Hi Sylvia,
My error log is returning “Undefined Offset” for the following lines near the end of external-videos.php:
The undefined offset seems to be the offset for the $host, $duration and $thumbnail, maybe the stored values are not arrays?
add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 'sp_external_videos_custom_columns');
function sp_external_videos_custom_columns($column_name)
{
global $post;
$duration = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'duration');
$host = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'host_id');
$thumbnail = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail_url');
switch($column_name) {
case 'ID':
echo $post->ID;
break;
case 'thumbnail':
echo "<img src='".$thumbnail[0]."' width='120px' height='90px'/>";
break;
case 'duration':
echo $duration[0];
break;
case 'published':
echo $post->post_date;
break;
case 'host':
echo $host[0];
break;It’s just those three variables with the [0] offset producing the errors.
]]>We have been using the External Videos plugin for a couple of years, and it has served us well. That is until about two weeks ago when it stopped posting. We have multiple Youtube and Vimeo channels that have stopped sending to our site. I have tried update videos, but that does nothing.
Any advice for fixing or trouble shooting this issue?
Thanks!

]]>hello
when i’m update videos from channel i get this message :
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_label() on a non-object in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/external-videos/ev-video_sites.php on line 55
can you please help me how to solve this problem
Thank’you
I installed the pluging and I tried to enter my youtube channel ID ( 3llemny) but I got “Invalid author – check spelling.”
]]>I’d like the video posts to appear everywhere the normal posts do. Homepage, sliders etc. Is this possible?
thanks
]]>I have noticed that the plugin author doesn’t seem to be available for almost a year.
I’ve made too much alterations to the plugin that it′s impossible to me to ever update it again.
So, i ask the original author if it’s ok to me to fork it and make it too available in WordPress. All credits mentioned.
So far my hacked version has:
– Fix for custom permalinks, change “external-videos” to whatever you want.
– Fix for custom added videos are deleted when channels are updated.
– Bulk edit tags/categories doesn’t throw error “invalid post type”
– Add a new channel and plugin will create a category with the name of the channel and add all videos to that category. Good for organizing videos.
– External-videos are treated like a common post type. No more video attach to other post. That means archive pages for all videos, and working breadcrumbs.
– Removed media gallery, shortcode, dot sub and Vimeo (sorry, maybe add it later)
What do you guys think?
]]>Hi, I’m pulling in video’s from YouTube and that works well, except I only need a selection of them, not all. I noticed that they all appear back on the site after the daily cron job. Is there a way to only select the ones I need without having to worry about the others showing up every day?
]]>Hello.
First thanks for the plugin.
I got an issue when i try to bulk edit external-videos to add, let’s say, categories or tags WordPress always gives the error “Invalid post type”.
That way i must edit one by one to add a tag or category.
It’s pretty time consuming for 200+ videos.
Using WP 3.8, twentythirteen and no plugins except external-videos.
Any help?
]]>Hello,
I am new to all of this and I am currently using squarespace… however I just found this plugin and it is EXACTLY what I need… I don’t know how to do anything like this without learning to code myself… and I don’t have that much time at the moment.
Is there anyway to use the code to apply the same functionality to a squarespace page?
Thanks!
]]>Great plugin! Saved me a lot of work – one issue:
Update videos will present you with an error 404 if your server has Modsecurity enabled and uses the ASL ruleset.

]]>All links to external video posts seem to automatically 404 on my site now (uprighthealth.com).
Any idea what could be causing this?
]]>Hi,
I just installed the External Video plugin, really great!
But there is just one thing I don’t know to set up ( as a beginner ??
I just want to activate the Gallery mode for this plugin, but don’t know how or where to put a shortcode..
Is there somebody who can tell me more about it?
Hope so..
