Adding &layout=gallery issue (free version)

    I just downloaded this plugin and it looks quite nice, but I’m having an issue.

    Everything works great until I add the “&layout=gallery” parameter to the shortcode in my post – at that point, the plugin gets a 400:Bad Request response. Turning on debugging in the options page, it looks like adding the layout parameter replaces my valid API key in the request URL with the value ‘PRIVATE’. If I copy and paste the request URI into a new browser tab and replace ‘PRIVATE’ with my actual API code, the results are returned as expected.

    It’s the only plugin I have active, and I’ve switched back to the 2015 theme for testing. Any ideas?

    Maxxd,

    Please provide the shortcode that you posted below and a link to the page that has this issue on your site.

    We’ll also leave this link to a tutorial video here in case it can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvFL-Rr-2Qo

    Hi embedplus. The shortcode used is:
    [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=UUK7IIV6Q2junGSdYK3BmZMg&layout=gallery[/embedyt]

    Again, without the ‘&layout=gallery’, the video appears as expected. Also, this happens with any channel.

    Unfortunately, the page is currently in development for a client and behind a password-protected gateway. It’d break contract to give out credentials.

    You code works fine on our end: https://postimg.org/image/7ttj9eior/
    We tested it on multiple themes – new lotus, twenty fifteen, …

    Since we can’t see your site, your best bet is to:
    1) make sure you’ve created your required YouTube API key and saved it within the plugin’s settings page (note that this is different from the PRO key): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vmBACVETf4

    2) Check if you have any console errors by using the the inspect element feature on a browser like Chrome.

    3) Try another theme to make sure it’s not your current theme that’s causing the problem.

    Weird…

    I’ve tried the twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, twenty thirteen, and my own custom theme. As I said, I’ve deactivated all plugins except this one.

    The API key has been created and saved in the plugin’s settings page in the ‘Gallery Settings and Direction’ section, and when I manually replace the ‘PRIVATE’ value in the key parameter of the request URI with the saved API key, it works.

    The only output I get to console on page load is the following:

    YT API ready
    Setting up YT API events: _ytid_24945

    I’ll try refreshing my API key and uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, all that normal stuff – if it works I’ll let you know.

    Why don’t you take it off debug mode while you’re doing this. It’s something you turn on if we explicitly ask you to do.

    Apologies all around – refreshing my API key got things working. Thanks so much for the help!
