<p>Add <strong>My YouTube Channel</strong> widget to the widget area or shortcode to post/page content, set <strong>Channel ID</strong> or <strong>Playlist ID</strong>, chose resource to use and keep defaults for all other options. And voila! You will get the latest video from chosen YouTube channel or playlist.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong> My YouTube Channel does not support <strong>Live Streams</strong> and does not have Gutenberg Block. Use <strong>Shortcode Block</strong> or <strong>Classic Block</strong> to insert shortcode to page/post content.</p>

<li><code>.ytc_title_inside_bottom</code> – additional class for bottom aligned video title printed inside of the thumbnail</li>
</ul>
</li>

</ul>
<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>Video title and description for embedded playlist mode do not work.</li>
<li>Removing the YouTube logo from the playback control bar does not work for all videos.</li>
<li>Autoplay does not work always</li>
</ul>
<p>If WordFence or other malware scan tool detect My YouTube Channel file <code>youtube-channel.php</code> as a potential risk because <code>base64_encode()</code> and <code>base64_decode()</code> functions, remember that we use this two functions to store and restore JSON feeds to transient cache, so potential detection is false positive.</p>

WP Telegram (Auto Post and Notifications)

I've been using WP Telegram for posting blog posts to Telegram. It has served me well. I recently added the plugin to a site where the posts are not published directly but go through a publishing queue. This caused some problems, but the WP Telegram support helped me solve the problem. I only needed to check the "Plugin generated posts" setting. Now everything works smoothly!

Good plugin, great support


This works wonders, to notify customers about their orders through Telegram, thank you.



Is there a way to  notify them without using wp_mail hook? So I don't need to email them aswell?



Thanks!


Reliable way of notifying customers


I'll start off with the level of support. Superior! My initial introduction to this plugin was that the settings page would not display. I reached out to the publisher and within a few short hours the issue was diagnosed and a solution provided. That's fast!



Setting up the Telegram settings was quite straightforward and worked the first time. I love that they have test buttons right in the Admin to ensure it will work as I tried another plugin and it wasn't working at all.



Future asks would be to set up a schedule for when to post and how many. For now one simply can schedule the publishing of the WP Post and it will then push to Telegram when it publishes.



So far I'm quite happy and kudos to Irshad (@irshadahmad21) for a wonderful plugin and excellent support!


Great Plugin for Posting to Telegram


Easy to set up and works perfectly!



A must-have for connecting WordPress with Telegram.



Highly recommend!


Great Plugin for Telegram Integration


I've been using it for over a year. Completely noiseless and does exactly what it's supposed to do.
