   I am wanting to make it so that all the posts that are from the plugin goto a different page rather then the default of 'Home'. So that I can put all the videos on a page called 'Videos'. Is this at all possible?

   Thanks!

   Short answer: Yes. It is possible.

   Normal answer: It is possible, but your question is in fact not related to the plugin itself. You just have to work with your WordPress theme. If you are familiar with WordPress and the WordPress 'Loop', this shouldn't be a problem.

   Here's the way I would do it:

   • Create a new theme template file, for example 'video_yt.php' (copy existing one, rename it, upload it, CHMOD)
   • When you uploaded the new template, use theme editor to edit the template
   • Copy the code from index.php (the part from the WP loop that generates the Youtube video embedding code) into the video_yt.php template
   • Create a new page (for example, called 'videos') and select the new created and modified template as template for that page
   • That's all I guess ...

   I would do this by creating a new template, as by default WordPress doesn't allow PHP to be posted within a page. There are plugins for PHP though ...

   That's the way I would do it, and I hope your familiar with some basic coding and the WordPress Loop, otherwise these instructions are by war not detailed enough. I don't have enough time to go into details here. Maybe somebody else can help you out if you have problems with my instructions.

   Alternative method:

   Create a "Video Posts" category so the plugin automatically imports videos into that category. That category page would be the page you're looking for.
