Youtube SEO playlist for wordpress

YouTube Playlist SEO with jQuery for WordPress

Is an unordered list of YouTube links converted into a video playlist. The php script makes the youtube list on a fly and uses the latest Gdata Api v3. You can choose to make a video playlist with keywords, userchannel or a regular youtube playlist. There are many options which can be set in the php script and in the jQuery function. Includes the new html5 youtube player option. This is the only youtube script available with search engine optimalisation (SEO)
Almost drag and drop.

A great future is that you will only have to set the widht of the player and the height settings will be auto adjust

So no more messing with advanced css settings !

NEWS 10-04-2015

The youtube API v2 was already depreciated in March 2014 and will be retired on April 20 2015

This doesn’t mean that the V2 will not work anymore after 20 april but could give errors, problems or other dysfunctional behaviour.

I had to rewrite the class to work with the V3 API and removed a lot of functions which are not working anymore.

You now need an API key else it won’t work ( Get your API key here )

I only made this update for you guys instead of deleting this app so it still will be working

I made a small video how to create an API key for the V3 youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJSkp719HeE

To update, Upload, deactivate and activate the plugin again then enter your API key. Then look at the options which are still available.

The css files have not been changed so the best way to update if you have customized the css files is to upload the plugin manually with ftp.

Thanks for understanding, Ceasar

NB for the HD setting by default

If there’s a 720p transcode (HD) available and you want it to play by default, then use a player that’s at least 720px high

Cheers,

Mobile phones and restrictions

I made a small css hack to target mobile phones. Read the support page
