YourChannel Pro

Sources, settings and shortcodes

YourChannel Pro displays YouTube videos and playlists on WordPress pages, posts or custom fields. Its visual builder brings the content selection and presentation settings together, with a live preview before you copy the generated shortcode into your website.

For a channel or playlist setup, enter a YouTube username or channel ID, choose settings and save the configuration. The Pro version also supports videos from a playlist, videos based on a search term, comments and custom playlists made by entering video IDs. Display elements are optional. Depending on the selected configuration, you can include uploaded videos, playlists, total video and view counts, single videos, playlist videos, search results or comments.

Playback and show settings

Choose lightbox or inline playback, one of seven video thumbnail styles, and a responsive layout. The available settings also include autoplay, RTL support, font icons and smooth transitions. These options let you adapt the video display to the page and choose how users open a video.

Plugin files load only on pages where a shortcode is present, and the plugin includes a cache system for fast loading. Shortcode instructions are available in the post editor.

Interface and content limits

The plugin includes a built-in GDPR overlay and a translation-ready interface. You can translate interface terms such as Videos, Playlists and Loading using the quick translation form.

YourChannel Pro cannot list unlisted or private videos and playlists. The selected YouTube content must be available through the plugin's supported public sources.
