I cannot seem to get the full description to show no matter what I do it keeps truncating - even with the limit set to "0".  Any idea how to increase this to show the full description?

svorass,

 

The YouTube API allows descriptions up to 500 characters, so you may not get the "entire" description if it is especially long, but you should be able to get most of them.

 

Please check WP Admin > Settings > TubePress > Meta > "Maximum description length" and ensure that it is set to '0'

 

Let us know.

 

Thanks!

Thanks For getting back!  Yes - I had read that youtube allows 500 characters in previous posts.  I do indeed have the meta description set to '0'.  I've also tried '500' but that didn't work either.  You'll see that description is still short.  I've seen other comments with the same issue but haven't found a solution yet.  Is it perhaps a bug in the plugin?  I personally don't mind it - but my client is needing the full description to show.  Currently it will cut off after about 2 sentences with a '...'.   Is there something I can adjust in the functions?  Thanks.

svorass,

 

I have passed this off to our developers to see if they can figure out what is wrong with it. I will hopefully have a response for you shortly.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Brandon.  Look forward to seeing what the solution is.

Hi Svorass,

 

Unfortunately YouTube has changed their API and are now truncating the description lengths.

and star this issue in order to track updates to it.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Thanks!
