 * Hello, i discovered ur plugin a few weeks ago, i used the premium version on 
   one site and all worked perfectly. I decided to use the free versión on another
   site, and this time, there is no way to make it works, the error is the same “
   YourChannel: Wrong Shortcode” i changed the theme to generated press to check
   if that solves the problem, but still keeps, the plugin only works with ur account
   test data. I tried the premium version too but the error keeps.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fyourchannel-wrong-shortcode-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi, that page has nothing, may be it’s password-protected.
 * Your API Key is probably not working.
 * Did you create your own? Follow this to create one:
 * Go to [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library)
 * Scroll down to** YouTube** section, click on **YouTube Data API v3**.
 * Click on **Enable** button in the next page if it’s already not enabled.
 * Now go to [https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
 * Click on **+ Create Credentials**, then on **API Key**.
 * Check the None checkbox in HTTP Restrictions section.
 * It will generate an API key and show it in a popup, copy paste it to YourChannel.
   It might take upto 5 minutes for this API Key to work (according to Google)
 * If you see a option to choose from Web Browser, Web Server etc., choose Web Browser.
 * Then put the API Key in API Key field of YourChannel edit form, then click **
   Check**, it’ll show preview of the channel below the edit form if the API key
   works. Then **save**.

 * Hi, good day, thx for the answer, i opened the website, i created the api key
   3 times, even with different google accounts, the api is working and receiving
   petitions, i did the same steps with others clients and they worked always fine.
 * The theme im using now its flatsome 3.12.0 (updated this days). I tried generate
   press, because ive got that theme working with ur plugin.
 * Now the web is unlocked, u can check it.
 * Any suggestions ?
    Thanks.
