Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about YouTube Shorts Display

How do I get a YouTube API Key?

Go to the Google Cloud Console
Create a new project or select an existing one
Enable the YouTube Data API v3
Create credentials and get your API key
Add the API key to the plugin settings

Why do I need a YouTube API Key?

The YouTube API Key is required to fetch data from YouTube, including the channel information and video details. Without an API key, the plugin will use fallback data which may not represent your actual channel content.

How many Shorts can I display?

You can display up to 50 Shorts from a channel, but for optimal performance, we recommend limiting to 10-15 Shorts per page to maintain fast loading times and avoid excessive API usage.

Will this plugin slow down my website?

No, the plugin includes a robust caching system that minimizes API calls to YouTube. You can adjust the cache duration in the settings. By default, data is cached for 1 hour to ensure optimal performance.

Can I customize the appearance of the Shorts display?

Yes, you can adjust the number of columns, background colors, and choose which elements to display (titles, view counts, etc.) through the plugin settings. You can also override these settings for individual shortcode instances.

Can I display Shorts from multiple channels?

Yes, you can use multiple shortcodes with different channel parameters to display Shorts from different channels on the same page. This is perfect for showcasing content from multiple related channels.

How do I change the mobile display?

The plugin automatically switches to a slider layout on mobile devices for optimal viewing experience. This responsive behavior ensures your YouTube Shorts look great on any device without additional configuration.
