YouTube playlist channel doesn't exist

Hello,

I’m in the process of setting up the Newspaper theme, Pulses Pro layout, for my website, but none of the video options for video playlist work. I want to add a YouTube channel to my homepage, but it tells me that the channel doesn’t exist. I’ve tried all options, channel id, video id and username, but it won’t work on any option. The YouTube channel is published and live and I also added the API key in theme panel. I also made sure I was setting the correct id option. Can someone help?

Thanks!

I have the same issue 🙁

Hi Anamaria,

Those two options didn’t work. Can you tell me if it’s possibly due to using a staging site? I’m using WP Time Capsule to stage my new website. Otherwise, is there something else that can be done?

Thanks.

Hi Bettina,

My YouTube channel has been active for years and the ID’s were correct. I already have a staging site and I’m almost done with the new website design. I can’t start over now. I also deactivated all non-Newspaper plugins, but it still wouldn’t work.

The reason I thought it might be due to using a staging site was because some of my mp4 videos wouldn’t play, but I was able to fix them because it was due to the word /staging/ being added to the media URL.

I’ve seen this YouTube problem from tons of other people on this support forum, so someone has to know what’s going on and how to make it work.

If someone could point me in the direction of where the problem might be, other than putting in correct ID’s, I can probably fix it myself, but I don’t where else to look.

Thank you.

Melissa
