Can't complete a search

Hi Starapple,

Have you set up the developer console in the same way the video tutorial instructs? It seems like you forgot to generate an API key or Mis configured d it.

Also, the tabs should only reload when on the main YouTube for WP page. When on a page or post the tabs should load via AJAX and the page shouldn’t reload. It could be a conflict with anther plugin or your theme.
What theme are you running?

Thanks,

Started over from scratch, the settings are saved but the same error shows when I do a search.

I’m using the GeneratePress theme.

Hi Starapple,

Does the error only appear in the search tab? Only reason I ask is because I believe the search functionality only requires a valid API key to complete as it hits a URL and passes in a valid API key.

Are you using the plugin on a live site or is it a local host site?

when you created the API key you made sure I leave the fields blank, correct?

Thanks,

Yes, the error only appears when I do a search from the tab (admin.php?page=youtube-for-wordpress&tab=youtube_plus_search). It’s on a live site. Yes, the field was blank. When it didn’t work I regenerated the key and used the new one.

Hmmm that is a strange issue indeed. I wonder what may be causing the issue . Now that you’ve generated a new API key are you still seeing the same errors?

Than

Still the same search result error.

You must have entered something incorrectly. Please email us at [email protected] . Following the video step by step, you should run into no issues.

Thanks.

I followed the video exactly. This is not the first OAUTH2 or API key I’ve generated at Google. But I’ll do it again just to be certain.

The error : “The API is not enabled for your project, or there is a per-IP or per-Referer restriction configured on your API key and the request does not match these restrictions.” states that the API key is not generated, or entered correctly.

Can you try revoking permissions and going through the authentication steps again? You can go to the Settings page, scroll down and on the right hand side select ‘Revoke Permissions’.

Thanks

Very, very ashamed! Head held low. I screwed up and realized it during the latest attempt. I had entered my site URL as the referrer. I deleted it and the default is now “Any” and the search works perfectly. My apologies and I sneak away with my tail between my legs.

Thanks much.

Hey,

No problem at all. We all make silly mistakes ??

Thanks again starapple,
