Adds shortcodes to show YouTube channel’s subscribers and video views count. For both shortcodes YouTube Channel ID and YouTube API Key is needed.
For performance reasons the data is refreshed once every 12 hours. This can be modified with “timeout” parameter (value in hours).
Shortcodes are as follows:
<ul>
<li>youtube_views_count – for channel video views count</li>
<li>youtube_subscribers_count – for channel subscribers count</li>
</ul>
Parameters are as follows:
<ul>
<li>id – YouTube channel ID (How to get YouTube channel ID? https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3250431?hl=en)</li>
<li>key – YouTube API key for browser (How to get YouTube API key? https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application#Create_API_Keys)</li>
<li>timeout – cache timeout (value in hours) /default is 12 hours/</li>
</ul>
For example:
<ul>
<li>[youtube_views_count id=’YOUR_CHANNEL_ID’ key=’YOUR_API_KEY’]</li>
<li>[youtube_views_count id=’YOUR_CHANNEL_ID’ key=’YOUR_API_KEY’ timeout=’1′]</li>
</ul>

Sendmachine’s official plugin will enable you to:
Set up signup forms 
You can set up a signup form in a few easy steps: connect using the provided API <a href="https://www.sendmachine.com/admin/#/myaccount/smtp_settings" rel="nofollow ugc">credentials</a>, select a contact list where your visitors will subscribe and you’re basically good to go. The signup form is available as a widget (in your widget area) or as a shortlink by pasting <code>[sm_subscribe_form]</code> in a post or page.
Add subscribe checkboxes 
Allow users to subscribe to your contact list only by checking a checkbox in certain website areas like comment form or register form.
Sync your wordpress users with a specific contact list 
You want to send emails to all your users but don’t know how? Well, don’t worry, we can help you with that. After you’ve successfully selected a contact list, you can use the “Sync users” button, to subscribe all your users to that contact list.
Send emails through our services 
No need for nasty, geeky configurations. Just set a from email, an optional from name and you are good to go. Also, make sure that “enable email sending” is set to <code>on</code>. 
If you set a from email that doesn’t already exist in your sendmachine account as a sender address, a confirmation email will be generated and sent to that address. 
Not quite sure if you’ve done everything right? You can test if everything is ok by sending a test email. If you got the mail, you can sit back and relax: you’ve done it, otherwise something went wrong.
Send transactional emails 
No more “dog ate my email” excuses. Using our services you can now monitor an email’s activity (opens, clicks, geolocations, user agents). In order to enable this option, after you install our plugin, go to “email settings” tab and check that “Register” and/or “Comment” checkboxes. Basically, if you tick that checkboxes on each email sent, that coresponds with that action, we add a custom tracking header: <code>X-Sendmachine-Campaign: campaign_name</code>, where campaign_name is the name of the transactional campaign that will be created, or updated if already exists. Campaign’s name can be found/modified next to every action’s checkbox.
Send news feed 
You can send a newsletter directly from the admin panel with the latest posts. You can choose to build your newsletter with the latest 5, 10, 15 or 20 posts, set newsletter’s width, color and content.
