Is anybody running into quota issues with their YouTube API? Any success with increasing your quote past 10,000 queries/day?

Plugin is great but I only get two pages of videos from a feed containing hundreds. I get a Load More button and this works just once. After the second page is displayed, the button disappears.

Also, I’m not seeing any Unlisted videos at all in my feed (which I actually want) despite the API key being blank.

Any update on the missing css file?

php-error: Array ( [type] => 2 [message] => file_get_contents(/web/app/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/.env): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I’m getting the above error when trying to use the plugin. Adding a blank .env file to the plugin folder solves the issue.

The issue appears to be this line in bootstrap.php which is attempting to load the .env file in the root.

//Load .env variables
if (class_exists('Dotenv\Dotenv') && method_exists('Dotenv\Dotenv', 'createImmutable')) {
    $dotenv = Dotenv\Dotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__);
    $dotenv->safeLoad();
}

My recommendation would be to alter this code so it fails more gracefully if there isn’t a .env file available to the plugin, rather than just checking if dotenv exists, e.g:

//Load .env variables
if (class_exists('Dotenv\Dotenv') && method_exists('Dotenv\Dotenv', 'createImmutable')) {
    $dotenv_path = __DIR__ . '/.env';
    if (file_exists($dotenv_path)) {
        $dotenv = Dotenv\Dotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__);
        $dotenv->safeLoad();
    }
}

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

why is this here https://glotzclevertv.de/wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/css/sb-youtube-free.min.css?ver=2.2.1 creating 404 errors on my website and thats every half an hour or every one and a half hours? What is going wrong?

Hi,

I started getting errors in console regarding the missing CSS file.

	public function register_frontend_styles()
	{
		$sby_pro = !sby_is_pro() ? '-free' : ''; 
		wp_register_style(
			'sby-styles',
			SBY_PLUGIN_URL . 'css/sb-youtube'. $sby_pro .'.min.css',
			array(),
			SBYVER
		);
	}
add_action('elementor/frontend/after_register_styles', [$this, 'register_frontend_styles'], 10);

this function generated stylesheet by the name sb-youtube-free.min.css, but in the CSS folder there was no file by these name. As a result it generated the missing CSS file error in the console. Currently I had commented the action hook and it solved the issue as of now. But is there any other way to remove or eliminate this error?

Thanks

My error log files is flooded with these messages. Is there a way to overcome this?

I am having a problem where the channel feed is working just fibe, but the moment I try and create a playlist feed I get this error: “Error: No videos found. Make sure this is a valid channel ID and that the channel has videos available on youtube.com”

I tried various YouTube feeds and they all have this issue.

How can I modify the lightbox for mobile devices to make it full-screen automatically? By default, the youtube video is on the top and kinda small and that looks very strange all together.

Hello,

I was trying to troubleshoot an issue with the website and while looking for the issues I noticed in the debug log these error messages (below)

I am on version 2.2 and I see it switched to legacy, so I created a new feed not on legacy and it’s still showing the same message. Is there something else I need to do to fix this?

Thank you

We’re using WP Rocket to handle redis caching, and the video feed doesn’t automatically update without a forced cache clear.

I spoke with their support and they’ve suggested to pass on the following to you guys:

“That plugin uses the transients API to read data (which uses the object cache), but clears them using SQL (bypassing the object cache). The author needs to change the sby_clear_cache() function to use delete_transient() instead of SQL DELETE’s.”

I’m loving the free version of the plugin, thank you!

Wondering if the paid version includes…

1. Display of single YouTube video based on YT video identifier (I’m currently using another YT plugin for only this feature and would rather not have possible conflicts/confusion)
2. Custom HTML design for lists (in addition to the added paid layouts)
3. More videos in lists (even when I increase the videos to show in the list’s settings, the number of videos always caps out at 500)

Thanks again for this awesome plugin!

I have purchased the YouTube Feed Pro Plus?February 2, 2024.

In my YT feeds under the videos they contain out links and text that i don’t want appearing.

I sent a message to support on 3rd February about this but had no reply so far which is disappointing.

Can someone help me?

The description says it supports “Multiple feeds from different channels”. How do I add multiple channels to the feeds?

I have 3-4 different YouTube channels that I run and want them to be used in the feeds. However, the requirement of a single API key limits that. How does this product support multiple channels? Would I need an API key for each channel to be used in the plugin?

Hello, does this plugin has a featured that shows just the 3 last videos published on the channel? Thanks

For some reason the videos will not play on Microsoft Edge. It pops up with the lightbox, but then it’s just a black box and no video. In Chrome there are no issues. Thanks.

This has been the best YouTube plugin but I’ve run into a big issue

After updating to the latest version of WordPress & Feeds for YouTube, I keep getting server timeouts when using any part of WordPress. I completely deactivated each plug-in, and the timeouts (and errors) only occur when this plugin is installed and activated. In looking at my server logs, I see these errors coming up

[Fri Dec 08 11:27:59 2023] [fastcgi:error] [pid 25641] [mod_fastcgi.c(2305):] [FastCGI: comm with server “…” aborted: read failed] […]

Php info is at /phpinfo.php

I have a theme that changes pages using PJAX, which means that on page changes only parts of content are changed, header stays the same as the first page that was loaded.

This causes issue with your plugin because you are loading js and css files only if feed is on that page. Is it possible to load those files all the time even if no youtube feed is on that page?

I am using Vimeothequeue plugin for few years already, and subscribed to Youtube feed pro plugin. When this youtube plugin is activated, my vimeo video archive page gets 404 error. When I disable this, the vimeo page comes back. Can you help me this issue? I already sent email to support but takes 2 days before sending response.

Clicking a video thumbnail opens a lightbox, but when the video is clicked it opens the Youtube channel in a new tab, is that how the free version works? Is the Pro version required for the video to play in the lightbox?

Hello, how to exclude youtube shorts from the feed ? I only would like last classic videos of my channel, not shorts. ??

Hi there, I have an issue showing the youtube feed. I use the plugin real cookie banner and their content blocker. After testing, first time I block cookies, the content will be blocked.

I use the caching plugin wprocket too, is is possible that the youtube feed not showing after a refresh, of causing deffred js loading? I tried to stop lazy load images but this was not solving the problem.

Good day,

I have over 10 youtube channels and when I try to add a channel via the Connect to Youtube through Google option, it only displays the first 4 channels.

Please, how can this be resolved?

Thank you

I can only get the entire channel to display but I am trying to display a playlist only for our shorts. Is only the channel available in this free version?

Hi there,

I’m trying the smash balloon youtube feed plugin, but I have issues with the updraftplus plugin. First I cannot do any backups when smash balloon is activated. The second one, I cannot connect my youtube account to smash balloon when updraftplus is activated. I tried this with an other backup plugin called wpvivid and there are no issues. What could this be?

Hi,

Thank you for developing this great plugin.
I wanted to bring to your attention an issue I’ve encountered recently regarding the listing of private videos in the feed.
Previously, this wasn’t the case, and I’m unsure why it has started behaving differently all of a sudden.
Could this be due to an update?
I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have on how to resolve this issue.

Thank you once again for your fantastic work!

Best regards,

I enabled the custom template and copied the file and created the sbi folder in my churrent theme, I made some customization in the item.php but nothing happening and the changes are not effecting.

i get this error

Warning: Undefined array key “enablesubscriberlink” in /srv/vhost/forndepaporterias.com/home/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/templates/feed.php on line 41

Hello,

After installing your plugin, I conducted tests to identify 404 Errors. During my examination, I discovered the following issues within the wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/css/sb-youtube.min.css?ver=2.0.6 file:

1. The resource wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/img/small-logo.png is being called, but it results in a 404 Error because the image cannot be found.
2. Similarly, the resource wp-content/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/css/owl.video.play.png is also causing a 404 Error as the corresponding image is not available.

Both of these errors occur due to the inability to locate the respective images.
