Great support!
by Caitlin Shannon·1 month ago
I am using this plugin for a client site, and it’s very important to him that his YouTube views are counted in the native YouTube analytics, even when viewed from the website. I reached out to the development team about this, and they replied within a matter of hours and addressed our needs with a plugin update and code snippet within a day or two. They were very friendly throughout the process. Super appreciative!
Does not update

Bummer ! It appears that this plugin does not update according the playlist on youtube. It takes a snapshot of the list when the plugin is configured but when new vids are added to the playlist in youtube, it does not see them on the website.
An excellent YT embed and more

It does everything you would think of. You want just one video, it’s done. You wand multiple videos selectable by multiple rules, it’s also done.
I only had one small issue: on one of my pages I wanted to display just one video w/o title/description. I wanted to use your plugin because it proved to be lighter than the normal embed :). But without a title and description, a bottom margin still appeard. After doing some research, I discovered that the div that was supposed to contain them still exists but only contains spaces. However, due to the flex gap, this creates a visible bottom margin. I managed to make the margin disappear by using small CSS and JavaScript snippets. Here is the proposed solution: could you make it so that the bottom div is not generated at all if it has no content to show?
