FAQ

Please folllow Installation instructions.

You will be able to reproduce HTTP Error w/o WordPress if you have SSH access to the server hosting your website. Log in to shell and run the following command (or ask your developer to do so):

curl https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems

You will get an HTTP Error from the curl command or response like the one below.

{  "error": {   "errors": [    {     "domain": "global",     "reason": "required",     "message": "Required parameter: part",     "locationType": "parameter",     "location": "part"    }   ],   "code": 400,   "message": "Required parameter: part"  } }

Known HTTP Errors:

error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown message digest algorithm

Server tool curl has built with an older version of OpenSSL that does not support certificates signed with sha256-With-RSA-Encryption. It requires at least OpenSSL 0.9.8o for the total management of SHA256.

Please contact your server administrator or hosting provider to help you with this issue.

Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

Yet another server issue, not related to My YouTube Channel nor WordPress.

Please restart Apache (or Nginx) server. If that does not fix the issue, restart the entire server. Or contact server support to help.

Start with following shortcode combination:

[youtube_channel num=7 responsive=1 class=ytc_wall_1-6 resource=2 random=1]

Then add custom CSS code to Customizer, or child theme style.css or to Head & Footer Code plugin:

.youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container {     padding: 5px;     box-sizing: border-box;     max-width: 33.333%; } .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container.ytc_video_1 {     max-width: 100%; } @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {     .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container:not(.ytc_video_1) {         max-width: 50%;     } } @media screen and (max-width: 480px) {     .youtube_channel.ytc_wall_1-6 .ytc_video_container:not(.ytc_video_1) {         max-width: 100%;     } }

That will show thumbnails for seven random videos from the default playlist defined in plugin settings: one full-width thumbnail and six remaining thumbnails distributed to 3 columns on wide screens, two columns under 768px and a single thumbnail per row under 480px.

Resize thumbnail play button by adding following custom CSS to Customizer, or child theme style.css or to Head & Footer Code plugin:

.youtube_channel .ytc_thumb>span:before {   transform: scale(.65); }

To remove (hide) thumbnail play button, use following custom CSS:

.youtube_channel .ytc_thumb>span:before {   display: none !important; }
