Is there a tutorial on how to use the widget?

I am trying to use the widget but I can get the shortcode so that the video fits inside the widget area.

When I add the widget I see this message that says, "TubePress shortcode for the widget. See the documentation." This isn't clear. Can you help me please?

Thanks.

For the WordPress widget, you just type in a TubePress shortcode into the box at WP Admin > Appearance > Widgets > TubePress. For instance, here's a screenshot of the widget using the following shortcode:

[tubepress mode="user" userValue="3hough" thumbHeight="180" thumbWidth="240" resultsPerPage="4"]

You can use any shortcode option found in the shortcode reference.

Does that make sense? Let me know if you're getting hung up on anything and I'll be happy to assist. Thanks!

This should work, yes. First, I would double check that you're running TubePress Pro (as opposed to the free version of TubePress) on the site, as Fancybox is a Pro-only option. Second, I would see if any of the troubleshooting steps found here are of use to you.

Are you able to share a link that shows the problem? I'd be happy to take a first-hand look.

Thanks!

Hmm I don't see the TubePress widget on that page. Do you have it activated anywhere?

That's my fault - I should have been more clear in what I was looking for. Sorry for the confusion..

I am using the widget. It's the video on the right hand side, under the heading that says Bienvenido

I see now. Here's the shortcode that I would use - I've tested it locally and it seems to work nicely.

[tubepress mode="tag" tagValue="noVj136BrqU" playerLocation="fancybox" thumbHeight="180" thumbWidth="240" embeddedHeight="200" embeddedWidth="300" description="false" title="false" hqThumbs="true" resultCountCap="1"]

As you can see, we're basically just searching YouTube for the video ID. This will get TubePress to generate a single thumbnail that, when clicked, will play the video in FancyBox. Of course, swap out "noVj136BrqU" in the shortcode with whichever video you'd like to display.

Will that suit your needs? Let me know!

that did it! I wonder my code was not working, but this one does.

thanks!
