Spanish translation by Andrew Kurtis [@WebHostingHub](http://www.webhostinghub.com/)– the updated translation will be provided later [Plugin Page on Workbox Site](https://www.workbox.com/wordpress-video-gallery-plugin/) ## Installation Download and activate the plugin. ## FAQ 1. How do I add the gallery to a page? Go to Video Categories and click on Add New, enter the Gallery Name and select the website page from the Gallery Page dropdown list. The gallery description field serves to show intro text above the video list. 2. How do I control gallery options? On the plugin settings page you can also control the look and feel of the gallery including most of the tags and number of videos to show per page. 3. Can I use a shortcode to add a gallery to a page or post? Yes, to do this, please use the following shortcode [workbox_video_YV_list gallery_name=”Test Post Gallery”] where Test Post Gallery is the name of the gallery you want to use on the page. You can also specify the gallery ID instead of the gallery name. 4. How do I sort videos within a gallery? Click the Sort in link above the video list. Then drag and drop the lines. The sort order will automatically change as soon as you have dropped the line. 5. I upgraded the plugin to Version 3.0 and lost all my videos. What do I do? Go to plugin options page and click the Upgrade DB Manually button to update your database and get the videos and video categories back.

Regardless, this link breaks the SSL certificate on my site because of a “Mixed Content” error. I fixed this by simply removing the “http:” from the link so that it will dynamically switch from HTTP to HTTPS depending on the URL used to render my site. This may not be the most comprehensive solution, and it is still loading this resource externally when an internal reference might be smarter, but this was my quick fix: wp_enqueue_script(' jquery', '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js'); Please fix this in the next release so that I can download your updates without breaking my site again! Thanks. P.S. More stars are awaiting your positive response and resolution 😉 [ Read all 10 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/workbox-video-from-vimeo-youtube-plugin/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Workbox Video from Vimeo & Youtube Plugin” is open source software.
