Troubleshooting

  • Hi there

    I believe this plugin is exactly what I’m looking for – a way to automatically publish a post of the video I just published on my YouTube channel.

    However, try as I might, I can’t get it to work.

    I’ve setup the API and all settings (and as far as I’m aware, I set it up correctly), saved it, then hit the “Make YT Posts” button, and I simply get the error “Video 1: [] already posted!”.

    I set the “Publish After date” to a date immediately before one of the more recent videos I published on YouTube, but hadn’t published on the site, but it didn’t seem to pick it up at all.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi,

    I just saw your message thanks to Eissa Jamil, who also shared this fix:

    //this gets the latest 20 videos from youtube
function scs_ytap_getYtVideoListData($scs_apikey, $scs_channelId, $scs_noofvids, $scs_publishedAfter, $scs_publishedBefore)
{
    //var_dump($scs_publishedAfter);
    //var_dump($scs_publishedBefore);
    $orderbydate = "&order=date";
    if ($scs_publishedAfter != "") {$scs_publishedAfter = "&publishedAfter=" . $scs_publishedAfter . "T00%3A00%3A00.0Z";
        $orderbydate = "";}
    if ($scs_publishedBefore != "") {$scs_publishedBefore = "&publishedBefore=" . $scs_publishedBefore . "T00%3A00%3A00.0Z";
        $orderbydate = "";}

    $yturl = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=" . $scs_apikey . "&channelId=" . $scs_channelId . "&part=snippet,id" . $orderbydate . "&maxResults=" . $scs_noofvids . $scs_publishedAfter . $scs_publishedBefore;
    // echo $yturl;
    $json = curl_get_contents($yturl);
    //$json = file_get_contents($yturl); // failure here on my server
    $data = json_decode($json, true);
    // echo $data;
    return $data;
}

function curl_get_contents($url,$useragent='cURL',$headers=false, $follow_redirects=false,$debug=false) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    if ($headers==true){
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,1);
    }
    if ($headers=='headers only') {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY ,1);
    }
        if ($follow_redirects==true) {
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); 
    }
    if ($debug==true) {
        $result['contents']=curl_exec($ch);
        $result['info']=curl_getinfo($ch);
    } else {
        $result=curl_exec($ch);
    }
    curl_close($ch);
    return $result;
}

    Hope this will work for you as well. Thanks Eissa!
