3. Use the Settings->Easy Embed for YouTube screen to configure the plugin
4. Fill in the required fieds as per the usage, please note API Key is a must for this to work. To set yourself with an api key, refer to https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate. Also daily usage for free users is 10000, if your usage is more than that, additional request to increase should be made.
5. To add the Youtube wall to your site, you can use the shortcode [getYouTubeWall] within any page or post. Advanced WordPress users could also add the function call directly to their theme to use the widget outside of a page or post (more on this below)

Shortcode Usage

To output the Youtube Wall configured on the settings page, simply use the following shortcode anywhere in a post or page within WordPress:

[getYouTubeWall]

To output a Youtube Wall configured with custom settings, you can define the settings on the shortcode like this:

[getYouTubeWall channelid=”xxxx”]

[getYouTubeWall videocount=”5″ videoid=’xx,yy,zz’]

The full list of shortcode settings:

api_key
channelid
playlistid
videoid
videocount
tilebackground
tiletext
tileborderradius
tilebordercolor
columncount
columnspacing
maxwidth

If you are using multiple walls on a single page, then each of your shortcodes needs to have a unique ID.

Advanced Usage

For those of you who know your way around a WordPress theme, it’s possible to embed the Youtube Wall directly within your theme using the wordpress function do_shortcode. This will allow you to put the widget anywhere in your theme, even outside of a post or a page.

To do so, use the following PHP code anywhere in your theme.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[getYouTubeWall]') ?>
