wpvideogallery

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m really sorry for the trouble you’re facing. Based on the error messages, it looks like our plugin settings haven’t been properly inserted into your website’s database. This sometimes happens when the plugin is network-activated on a WordPress multisite setup. Unfortunately, our plugin doesn’t support network activation at the moment.

Are you using a multisite? Would you mind trying to activate the plugin individually on each site within your multisite network instead? That should help resolve the issue.

Another possible fix:

1. Please go to “Video Gallery” → “Settings” in your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
2. Open each settings tab and click “Save Changes” to ensure the missing settings are added.

I hope this helps! If the issue persists, please don’t hesitate to submit a support ticket here: https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/support/ with a link to this forum post. That way, we can take a closer look and assist you further in a private environment.

Thanks for your patience, and I truly appreciate your time! 😊

The last parenthesis was opened in add_filter( 'widget_title'.

Also, I confirm that all the parentheses are opened and closed properly. Did you try adding the code to your theme’s functions.php file? Does the issue still persist? If yes, kindly submit a ticket here: https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/support/

Thanks for your question and the detailed explanation. I tested this on my own setup by adding the following title to the AIOVG – Video Gallery Widget:

colecția mea de „filmulețe”

On my site, this worked perfectly — the front-end correctly displayed:

colecția mea de „filmulețe”

Why It Works for Me (But Not for You)

This difference happens because WordPress handles widget titles differently depending on your theme and active plugins.

In some environments (like mine), WordPress automatically decodes HTML entities in widget titles when rendering them on the front-end. This allows entities like „ and ” to work correctly.

However, in many WordPress setups — especially if your theme or plugins apply stricter sanitization — widget titles are treated as plain text. In those cases, WordPress does not decode the entities, which is why they appear literally („) instead of being converted into the correct quotation marks („).

Two Ways to Fix This

#1. Recommended: Paste the Actual Characters Directly

The simplest and most reliable approach is to paste the correct characters directly into the title field, like this:

colecția mea de „filmulețe”

This works across all environments, regardless of how widget titles are handled.

#2. Optional (for Developers): Add a Filter to Allow Entities

If you prefer to use HTML entities, you can force WordPress to decode them by adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'widget_title', function( $title ) {
    return html_entity_decode( $title, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_HTML5, 'UTF-8' );
}, 20 );

This code ensures that widget titles always process entities like „ into the correct characters on the front-end.

Hope this helped you!

Currently, our plugin does not support hiding thumbnails from the gallery. Instead, it displays a “Restricted” label on video thumbnails. However, we plan to introduce an option for this in a future update. We appreciate your patience.

In your case, do you restrict all videos based on a specific user role globally, without overriding restrictions for individual videos? If so, we can provide a code patch to address your needs. Please share an example page URL from your website that should be hidden from non-members, and we’ll share the relevant code patch with you.

The shortcode you have added is wrong. Kindly try adding [aiovg_last_video_title]

Hope this solved your issue!

Thank you for reaching out to us! We truly appreciate your feedback. I’m happy to share that our next version will include the fix you suggested. 🙂

Alternatively, you can add the custom code we provided using a third-party plugin called WPCode. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to this tutorial: How to Easily Add Custom Code in WordPress Without Breaking Your Site.

Hope this helps!
