We use it to display our "Recent Appearances" playlist from YouTube. As we make changes to the playlist the website grid changes automatically and we have had no issues. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/19dc2f2cad9cfcd4f7215cb2ffc9305b6cf265f7e6579c99b67f2bb5c1cbef02? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works nicely](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-nicely-184/)󠁿 [tina270](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tina270/) July 20, 2025 What can I say?

It works and looks great & does not require login into the channel where the playlist was created. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb00c2c356c56fa242ecb24474f5a62d0cab324f05c9e286506df2217db4af8b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Exactly What I Needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exactly-what-i-needed-989/)󠁿 [matthewfreedom](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matthewfreedom/) May 7, 2025 This is a review for the free version of YotuWP, so YMMV with paid features. We recently refreshed our entire website for work. On the old page, I had a video gallery plugin (a paid one) that did the job, but setup was over-complicated and keeping it updated required even more money unless I manually added each video. Enter YotuWP. Easy to set up (basic grid/pagination/title showing is basically all you need to set up), and it auto-updates with new uploaded videos without me having to touch a thing–all in the free version! There are a few other options that you can take or leave, such as styling or video box effects, but for a simple, self-updating video gallery you cannot beat this plugin. Thank you!

A single Shorts video embedded elsewhere (Single/ Multi Videos, or a portrait video mixed into a regular gallery) is still detected per-video via YouTube’s oEmbed endpoint, queried with the /shorts/{id} URL — the /watch?v= form YouTube’s oEmbed used previously always reports the generic 16:9 embed box regardless of the video’s real orientation * [Add] Admin notice suggesting caching once a site’s video list has stabilized #### 1.3.14 – Jun 25th, 2024 * Fix security issue #### 1.3.13 – Aug 20th, 2023 * Fix security issue= 1.3.12 – Dec 12th, 2022 = * Fix display issue #### 1.3.11 – Nov 28th, 2022 * Fix security issue= 1.3.10 – Nov 24th, 2022 = * Fix security issue #### 1.3.9 – Nov 23th, 2022 * Fix security issue admin with delete cache #### 1.3.7 – Sept 19th, 2022 * Resolve issues compability with wordpress.org requirements #### 1.3.6 – Sept 1st, 2022 * Resolve issues compability with wordpress.org requirements #### 1.3.5 – Aug 20th, 2022 * Fix issue admin with delete cache New version going to release soon! #### 1.3.4.5 – Aug 22th, 2020 * Auto Next to Video * Origin message error on Console browser * Next/Prev/Load more problem once replace with special characters New version going to release soon! #### 1.3.4 – Nov 22th, 2018 * [Add] Hover Effects – animation when hover on a video thumbnail on galllery. 20+ effects. * [Add] Background gallery setting.
