Questions the author answers
Can I display multiple YouTube feeds on my site or on the same page?
Yep. You can display multiple feeds by creating them with the customizer and adding the feed ID to a shortcode.
How do I embed a YouTube gallery directly into a WordPress page template?
You can embed a gallery directly into a template file by using the WordPress do_shortcode function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[youtube-feed feed=1]'); ?>.
Will the plugin work with W3 Total Cache or other caching plugins?
The Feeds for YouTube plugin should work in compatibility with most, if not all, caching plugins, but you may need to tweak the settings in order to allow the feed to update successfully and display your latest posts.
Can I change whether the video autoplays or plays on click
Yep, just use the following setting: Feeds for YouTube > Customize > Video Experience > When does video play? You can then set the video to play when clicked or to autoplay.
How can I change the layout of my feed?
This free plugin has several layout options built into it. Use the settings in the following location to display your videos in a list, grid, or gallery layout: Feeds for YouTube > Customize > Layout. You can also change the spacing/padding between the videos by using the “Spacing between videos” setting in this same section.
Can I select how many YouTube videos should be displayed in the feed?
Yep, you can choose to display between 1-50 videos in your feed by using the following setting: Feeds for YouTube > Customize > Layout > Number of Videos. The plugin also contains a “Load More” button to allow you to infinitely load more videos into your feed.
Latest changelog entry
- New: Ask AI agents to check and manage your YouTube feeds and settings through the WordPress Abilities API (WordPress 6.9 or later). Agents can only make changes after you turn on the new MCP Write Access setting in Settings > General, and deleting a feed or connecting an account always needs your confirmation in the browser. See what YouTube Feed Pro adds
- Fix: If a security scanner on your host quarantines one of the plugin’s files, including the Elementor widget files, the plugin now turns itself off and shows an admin notice listing the missing files instead of breaking your site.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
