Installation

Upload the youtube-story-videos directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Use the shortcode directly in your posts, pages, or widgets:
– By Channel ID: [micromax_gerdali_story_videos id="CHANNEL_ID" count="5"]
– By Video IDs: [micromax_gerdali_story_videos vid="video_id,video_id,xgqnzn16SEY"]

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my YouTube Channel ID?

You can find your Channel ID by going to your YouTube account’s advanced settings, or by inspecting the URL of your channel homepage (it usually starts with UC…).

How do I use specific video IDs?

Pass comma-separated 11-character video IDs into the vid attribute: [micromax_gerdali_story_videos vid="xgqnzn16SEY,xgqnzn16SEY"]. The video ID is the 11-character code in YouTube video URLs (e.g. after v=).

How do I display multiple channels or playlists on one page?

Simply use different shortcodes with their respective channel IDs or video IDs wherever you want them to display. Example: [micromax_gerdali_story_videos id=”UC123456789″] and [micromax_gerdali_story_videos vid=”xgqnzn16SEY,xgqnzn16SEY”].
