Description

This plugin finds YouTube links in post content and imports the video comments.
Users may also post comments to the video after signing into YouTube.

Installation

  1. Upload the youtube-comments directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Edit the settings using the link in the dashboard settings menu.
  4. Sign up for a Google developer account to enable comment posting.
  5. Use the shortcode “[youtube-comments]” to select certain posts or pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why didn’t my comment appear immediately?

Posted comments are often delayed by a short time, even though they appear immediantly on YouTube.

2. Why am I still logged into YouTube after signing out?

Sign out only cancels the ability to post comments. Users can only sign out completely from YouTube/Google.

3. Do I need to signup for a developer account?

A developer account is only required to post comments. You can show comments without a developer account.

4. Why do I get an error message “redirect_uri_mismatch” when signing in?

The redirect URI must exactly match your site’s URL. An extra trailing slash is enough to cause that error.

5. Can I use a custom field for videos?

Yes, a setting is provided for custom fields. YouTube Comments supports the “Automatic YouTube Video Posts” plugin, and the “deTube” premium theme.
