    I am trying to add a playlist shortcode for this site. The settings page asks me to add a /user/ link however I can only get a /channel link from youtube. Not sure if this is the reason the shortcode is not working.

    Code:
    [fts_youtube vid_count=4 large_vid=yes large_vid_title=no large_vid_description=no thumbs_play_in_iframe=yes vids_in_row=4 omit_first_thumbnail=no space_between_videos=1px force_columns=no maxres_thumbnail_images=yes thumbs_wrap_color=#000 playlist_id=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWkL6rVT189ZNjaO_0AfkRcNqH8vQLBAc username_subscribe_btn=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bugrqQADKGjwuQMS5G0wA]

    Hi @cjsohal,

    I have created a new shortcode for your most recent playlist, which works and is at the bottom of this reply. You are free to use this, but you should follow the steps & fill out the protocols to ensure it works and updates properly going forward.

    Step one is to make sure you are logged into YouTube, generate an API Key from the FEED THEM > YouTube Options page and then click the green ‘Save All Changes’ button at the bottom.

    Then, got to the FEED THEM > Settings page, from the blue create shortcode, select YouTube Feed. Select the feed type, in your case Playlist, to add a playlist, the playlist ID and channel ID must be entered.

    You can copy/paste the playlist URL of your choice and your channel ID from the URL on your YouTube homepage. I’ve gone to your homepage and copied the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bugrqQADKGjwuQMS5G0wA
    Make sure all your parameters are how you want them, scroll to the bottom and click the green ‘create shortcode’ button. Then copy/paste the shortcode where you need it.

    [fts_youtube vid_count=4 large_vid=yes large_vid_title=no large_vid_description=no thumbs_play_in_iframe=yes vids_in_row=4 omit_first_thumbnail=no space_between_videos=1px force_columns=no maxres_thumbnail_images=yes thumbs_wrap_color=#000 wrap=none video_wrap_display=none comments_count=0 playlist_id=PLWkL6rVT189bDioffqrnpU9V9b2kxd1PO channel_id=UC-bugrqQADKGjwuQMS5G0wA ]

    Let me know how it goes.
