So far, I did not get it fixed. I just put some YouTube vids up there (NOT in a gallery) as a temporary patch. * I passed that shortcode onto my webguy who was able to squeeze me in today. He said it would be helpful and save him some time. I’ll keep ya posted! thanks! * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kbil4eva/) * (@kbil4eva) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-api-not-working-when-updated-plugin/#post-6381237) * Hey guys, I’ve fixed the issue for kennymikey and it was a combination of issues. Seems the plugin has updated shortcode attributes plus he needed the Google API key in place. Once that was in place we had caching on which needed to be cleared. All in all his new shortcode is working and as follows… * `[Youtube_Channel_Gallery feed="playlist" user="PLvCasaEX4Cmo-9K2WVWoCd8DkAqujJIYb" cache="1" cache_time="24" videowidth="580" ratio="16x9" color="white" maxitems ="18" thumb_width="333" thumb_ratio="16x9" thumb_columns_phones="2" thumb_columns_tablets ="3" thumb_columns_md="3" thumb_columns_ld="3" title="1" key="AIzaSyA-97VcrZ8eRmMrpCULMphMIyJPRKOGrRM"]` * You can see a working example here – [http://storyologystudios.com/web-series/book-smarts-crafts/](http://storyologystudios.com/web-series/book-smarts-crafts/) * [NeelieX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neeliex/) * (@neeliex) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-api-not-working-when-updated-plugin/#post-6381272) * Mine is working fine now as well. I’ve copied your shortcode, replaced user and key data. When I was pasting the API key somehow a span class got copied as well which was then part of the shortcode and this is why it always said “Invalid key”. * But thanks anyway. * [happyseocompany](https://wordpress.org/support/users/happyseocompany/) * (@happyseocompany) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-api-not-working-when-updated-plugin/#post-6381331) * Where do you find the SHORT code, I am getting this same error: checked the API key which is correct : * Youtube Feeds * Error type: “Bad Request”.
