I've seen that you can use playlists, but I was wondering if you could also use channels.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jayman,

 

Yes, TubePress can use channels from YouTube.  You can do this one of two ways.  The first way is within the TubePress Settings page accessed from the wordpress dashboard, by typing in the channel name in the "Videos from this YouTube User" text box.

 

The other way is to use shortcode on the page or post you wish the tubepress gallery to appear, as shown below:

[tubepress mode="user" userValue="PewDiePie"]

Let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Brandon.

 

I got it working using your suggestion of using the channel name.  I works great, I just wish it would display the thumbnails in a straight row across, instead of staggering them.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Jayman,

Please try inserting the [tubepress] shortcode using WordPress's HTML Editor, as opposed to the Visual Editor. You should be able to use the HTML Editor to delete any extraneous <code>, <pre>, or tags

 

Let us know.

 

Thanks!

For me, that doesn't work, I'm wondering if it's because I have a french character in the channel's name, here's my channel (notice the user didn't work either, which is  UCON1ijIMv-JR9m0ctRsDBWw? right?

 

https://www.youtube....v-JR9m0ctRsDBWw

 

(I will post on many questions because no one that had the same problem as me (can't get it to work) answer back...), I've tried the shortcode and the settings option, nothing works

Mylene,

 

When using "UCON1ijIMv-JR9m0ctRsDBWw" as the user in my TubePress 3.1.2 RC2 test environment, your user videos display with no issues.

 

Let us know.

Thanks!
