Thank you. Is it going to be a higher quality lytesprite.png or a completely new look?

The default should be to disable it on mobile for the users’ convenience, but I would like to have a setting to enable it. That would be the best of both worlds.

Thank you very much!

The PHP code is working like a charm, but I really think that you should incorporate it as a setting.

I am building a local WordPress installation. Still haven’t uploaded it to a live domain, so there is no link I can give you right now, but you can check wpDiscuz on these websites.

It’s working now.

Thank you. Please make it so that we can select what option would we like to be a default one and also add a dropdown list on top of the comment section.

Cool, that’s awesome. Thank you.

Thank you for that code, it works. Please add that as an option in the next version.

On the subject of native YouTube player. I don’t think it is a good idea to incorporate it into the Lyte and I’m sure YouTube wouldn’t like that. Be sure to check their ToS.

First of all, I am using Lyte because it’s fast. Simple as that.

It’s much faster than default loading of the YouTube player every time the page loads, which in turn decrease the loading time. Before this plugin, I have tested a few other ones, but this one stand out as a clear winner – on desktop

that is.

These are my results (local install, Apache, PHP 5.4.37, MySQL 5.5.42, WordPress 4.2.2, Twenty Fifteen theme, no other plugins, 10 videos in post):

FIRST TIME PAGE LOAD:

Plugin | Requests | Query | Finish | DOM | Load | Transferred

No plugin | 171 | 542ms | 11.65s | 1.30s | 10.35s | 2.1MB
Lazy Load for Videos | 31 | 552ms | 1.46s | 1.41s | 1.66s | 1.1MB
Simple YouTube Embed | 32 | 1.64s | 2.55s | 2.36s | 2.62s | 1.4MB
WP YouTube Lyte | 30 | 590ms | 1.66s | 1.34s | 1.48s | 1.1MB
Youtube SpeedLoad | 31 | 550ms | 1.45s | 1.36s | 1.54s | 1.3MB

CACHED PAGE LOAD:

Plugin | Requests | Query | Finish | DOM | Load | Transferred

No plugin | 171 | 533ms | 11.80s | 1.10s | 10.46s | 119KB
Lazy Load for Videos | 31 | 544ms | 1.11s | 1.07s | 1.23s | 90KB
Simple YouTube Embed | 32 | 1.51s | 2.03s | 2.00s | 2.07s | 94KB
WP YouTube Lyte | 30 | 548ms | 1.13s | 977ms | 1.05s | 88KB
Youtube SpeedLoad | 31 | 533ms | 1.08s | 987ms | 1.10s | 87KB

No more talking about how fast and good your plugin is. The main issue here is the mobile support, or should I say, lack of it. Of those other plugins, Lazy Load for Videos and Youtube SpeedLoad have incorporated the same function as on desktop and it works good.

These are my three reasons for liking a “double tap” function on mobile:
1. Cache always loads much faster than the default YouTube embed, so it’s already a win for me.
2. Search engines love page speed more than I do. Another good point there.
3. My website isn’t going to be another YouTube so double-tapping to view a single video from time to time should not be a big deal for the visitors.

My suggestion would be to make that function as an option for anyone who wants to use it. Other suggestion would be to make a JavaScript or PHP script that would auto-activate play on the YouTube player if that is possible or allowed.

You said something about a native YouTube client. If you meant something like this, I don’t think it’s a good idea. It would bloat and slow a plugin with more code and graphics. Also, it looks like the YouTube’s ToS prohibits that:

4. General Use of the Service—Permissions and Restrictions
YouTube hereby grants you permission to access and use the Service as set forth in these Terms of Service, provided that:

…

F. If you use the Embeddable Player on your website, you may not modify, build upon, or block any portion or functionality of the Embeddable Player, including but not limited to links back to the YouTube website.

But can you make it work in the widget area like how Lazy Load for Videos plugin works? I found that your plugin works much faster than that one.

Thank you.

Copy this line into your theme’s style.css file and it should fix the issue:

.ksharelinks.plain li { list-style-type: none; }

Because I want to have only the post author title active.

Thank you for helping me!

I found out what a blue line was. Yes, it was a problem, but not with a CSS that I had for wpDiscuz, but with the fact that I deleted Title For Members text. Will try to fix that somehow. If you wouldn’t mind, please tell me what can I do to any of these codes in order to disable that title:

<tr valign="top">
    <th scope="row">
        <?php _e('Title For Members', WC_Core::$TEXT_DOMAIN); ?>
    </th>
    <td colspan="3">
        <label for="wc_user_title_member_text">
            <input type="text" value="<?php echo $this->wc_options_serialized->wc_phrases['wc_user_title_member_text']; ?>" name="wc_user_title_member_text" id="wc_user_title_member_text" />
        </label>
    </td>
</tr>

else {
  $wc_author_class = 'wc-blog-member';
  $author_title = $this->wc_options_serialized->wc_phrases['wc_user_title_member_text'];
}

My third suggestion is to create checkboxes for disabling Title For Guests, Title For Members, Title For Authors, Title For Admins, and other Phrases if we want.

Don’t ever place keywords in the source code! That is an ancient SEO practice used to deceive search engines and rank higher. Every search engine today is smart enought to detect shady practices like this one and deindex websites that use them.
