YouTube, Facebook stuck at 0

    I got this plugin with the PowerMag theme and it’s been working great. But this past week I noticed that the Facebook and YouTube numbers weren’t changing to match the actual numbers. So I tried deactivating and reactivating them. Now they’re stuck at 0 and won’t change.

    The WP Remote Get failed, so I’m talking with my host about it but I can’t have the broken counter up on my site while waiting for this to get fixed.

    I saw somebody on these forums mention manually changing the numbers. Assuming I actually did see that, how would I go about doing that?

  • 1. Find

    $api_url = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/';

    1. Replace with

    $api_url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&forUsername=';

    2. Find

    $this->connection = wp_remote_get( $this->api_url . $settings['youtube_user'], $params );

    2. Replace with (after changing <ACCESS_KEY_HERE>)

    $this->connection = wp_remote_get( $this->api_url . $settings['youtube_user'] . '&key=<ACCESS_KEY_HERE>', $params );

    3. Find

    try {
	$body  = str_replace( 'yt:', '', $this->connection['body'] );
	$xml   = @new SimpleXmlElement( $body, LIBXML_NOCDATA );
	$count = intval( $xml->statistics['subscriberCount'] );

	$this->total = $count;
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
	$this->total = ( isset( $cache[ $this->id ] ) ) ? $cache[ $this->id ] : 0;
}

    3. Replace with

    $_data = json_decode( $this->connection['body'], true );

if ( isset( $_data['items'][0]['statistics']['subscriberCount'] ) ) {
	$count = intval( $_data['items'][0]['statistics']['subscriberCount'] );
	$this->total = $count;
} else {
	$this->total = ( isset( $cache[ $this->id ] ) ) ? $cache[ $this->id ] : 0;
}

    Hello pratham2003, what do you mean for Acces key? Thank you

    He means an API key. You need to create an app as described in the google plus counter instructions only choose YouTube Data API v3 instead of the G+ api.

    Thank you D34DC3N73R ??
