 * Hello All
 * Hopefully, someone out there can help with this.
 * I am in need of a plugin, that will allow me to place a video widget into a sidebar,(
   nothing hard there)
 * But I want to be able to specify the video URL, in this case, Youtube in the 
   post.
 * This will mean that a different video will be played for each post that’s is 
   looked at.
 * I can’t find anything that does this, so wanted to ask if anyone has come across
   this before?
 * I have tried Video Sidebar Widgets by Denzel Chia but if you don’t specify a 
   youtube URL in the widgets section, and leave it blank, but do specify a youtube
   URL in the post, it gives an error when trying to play, although in edit mode
   it plays… which is a little strange in itself.

 * Hey there,
 * The task you’re trying to do will be better done with Custom Fields + a sidebar
   widget.
 * I’m not sure if this plugin works, but if it does, it should come handy for this
   task: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-field-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-field-widget/)
 * It’s older than 2 years, so try to test it on a test site before installing on
   your productions site.
 * Hope it helps.
