Based on your description, it sounds like you might have reached your YouTube API quota. Perhaps you’ve received more traffic or embedded more galleries than usual?
I’ve check my website YouTube API quota usage is only 197 unit max a day out of the available 10,000 units. Also I have not embedded new video galleries for more than 3 months. The errors are from video galleries embedded 3 – 4 months ago. Please advise.
Thanks.
Please give specific details as to where to find such a gallery on this page you provided: https://linkmotto.com/mymotto/
click on “Life is too short for fake chips”
The first youtube video which is a video gallery with the shortcode
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=UU4M6R6AznuJXkGP_pWbbscQ&layout=gallery%5B/embedyt%5D
have the error “Sorry, there was a YouTube error.”
while the 2nd video which is a Video playlists with the shortcode
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PL3QeXl191oLRR26OBbR69xAR8til1HdGa&v=-wfOHtJzIQ0%5B/embedyt%5D
is working fine.
Thanks
If you log into your WP admin and go to that page, it will have a detailed error. Please share. It is likely that you may have not configured your YouTube API key correctly; see for instructions: https://www.embedplus.com/how-to-create-a-youtube-api-key.aspx
Or, you have exhausted your YouTube API quota.
Please share the detailed error.
When I try to create a new gallery, this is the error message i get
“Sorry, that does not seem to be a link to an existing video. Please confirm that the link works in your browser, and that the owner of the video allowed embed sharing permissions (otherwise, contact the owner of the video to allow embedding). Then copy that full link in your address bar to paste here. If you are sure your link is correct, then (1) your API key may be too restrictive (check here) or (2) you have reached your Google quota (check here). You can apply to Google for a quota increase here.”
(1) I have created a new API key with no restriction, it still did not work
(2) Google quota which did not exceed the limit and shows the last day the plugin works is on may 12.
Please delete not just your existing keys but the entire YouTube API project. Then create a completely new project and new YouTube API key from scratch to use within the plugin. Sometimes the API key system requires starting from a completely new project. It’s something we’ve seen multiple times over years of using it.
