Youtube For WP 🐝

Youtube for WP is a plugin that enables you to add a new Gutenberg block for listing your latest YouTube videos.

Versions

The current version of YoutubeForWP is v0.1.4. Please refer to the Changelog section for details about previous versions.

Youtube API

In order for the Gutenberg block to function, it is essential to provide your Google API key and activate the "Youtube Data API v3" library on your project.

Get the Youtube Data API V3

https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/youtube.googleapis.com

Parameter	Type	Description
api_key	string	Required. Your API key

Get channel ID

For your youtube channel

If you have direct access to the Google account that owns the YouTube channel, log in to that account. In the top right corner, click on "Settings." In the left-hand side menu, click on "Advanced settings," and you will find your Channel ID.

For a client

To target your YouTube channel, we also require your YouTube channel ID.
You have two methods to find it: go to your YouTube channel, display the page source code (right-click and then View Page Source), search for "channel_id" using "Ctrl F". You will get multiple results, and the goal is to find a URL with the mentioned ID, like the one below: "href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=yourcopiedkey">

Parameter	Type	Description
channel_id	string	Required. Id of channel to fetch videos

Provide the information

Now that you have this information, go to the WordPress admin panel, navigate to the "Youtube" tab in the sidebar, and fill in the information in the corresponding fields.
Once you've filled in the inputs, you'll be able to add the Gutenberg block to your posts.
