YouTube Feed Not Working At All

[ad_1]

Thanks for reaching out and checking out our plugin. I can understand how it can be confusing to set up multiple feeds at first glance. If you want to create more than one feed you have to click the button or menu option that says “Add New Feed”. Then choose the feed you want and add your options. Then when finished you add the shortcode to whatever page or post you need to display the feed on.

I understand you created an API key for YouTube and are still having some trouble getting it setup. After you have create a New feed and have the API key saved and added your YouTube options, if it’s still not working please use the blue beacon in the bottom right corner of that page. This will send me your system info and feed options so I can take a closer look and help debug the problem. Don’t worry we’ll get you sorted 🙂

Thank you, Spencer. Working fine now. For my most recent attempt, I followed a different, external webpage that said how the YouTube API key can be created, and it worked fine that way. Maybe it would have the first time around with your help page, too, but I misunderstood that separate feeds need to be created for the Facebook feed and for the YouTube feed – there may have been some interference there.

Your help page on how to create the YouTube API key is from early 2023, and it looks like Google has changed a few things in the meantime. There’s that new OAuth section, but it looks like it can be safely ignored while setting up the API key.

By the way, one thing that doesn’t work with the Facebook feed is that the “Like box” is never displayed on mobile phones – only on desktops and tablets. Are you aware of that? Facebook has recently started totally blocking the display of the “Like box” on mobile phones, for some reason… But at least your FTS feed doesn’t display any empty subwindow with an error message instead of the “Like box”, like other Facebook feed plugins do that we tested. Well, I guess we can live without the “Like box” on mobile phones, if Facebook decided to make it totally impossible to access in any way there.
