Overview
Related YouTube Videos is a free WordPress plugin that embeds a number of, well, YouTube videos that are related to your content. The list is put together by using the YouTube search API. And you can specify the relation between the videos and your content by:
- the title of your current post, page or custom post type.
- the tags of your current post, page or custom post type.
- the categories of your current post, page or custom post type.
- any keywords you specify.
Also, this plugin offers you two ways to embed related videos:
- by using the shortcode [relatedYouTubeVideos] somewhere in your post/page content.
- by using the WordPress widget “Related YouTube Videos” in any of your widget areas (multiple instances are possible).
