 * I have uninstalled then reinstalled the plugin, but I am still getting the related
   videos display at the end (see [http://www.werenovate.com/testyoutube](http://www.werenovate.com/testyoutube))
 * I have also made sure that the “show related videos” feature is unchecked on 
   the youtube video itself. I am using the Avada Theme
 * Please advise

 * You must be using WordPress’ oEmbed feature in order for this plugin to work.
   My guess is that Avada may just be doing their own conversion.
 * The plugin works by hooking into the oEmbed process from WordPress and converting
   the video there.
 * Is your link just a simple link on a line or are you posting the embed code itself?

 * I’m having the same issue in a WordPress template.
    The template only allows 
   me to post the shortened identifier code from YouTube and nothing more (e.g. 
   kF0lnpxJ_LM). Any ideas how I can get this to work?

 * Sure thing – [http://aok.com.au/portfolio_page/actinogen/](http://aok.com.au/portfolio_page/actinogen/)
 * It occurs on all YouTube video links inside the portfolio page of my site.
    I
   suspect its because the WordPress portfolio section only allows me to put in 
   the code (ybX_7eu0q44) and not the full YouTube address ([https://youtu.be/ybX_7eu0q44](https://youtu.be/ybX_7eu0q44)).
 * Your software is working brilliantly on all the other videos on my site using
   the full YouTube address.
 * Any ideas?

 * You are exactly right: this plugin only works when WordPress is using the oembed
   method to build the links. Your template or theme is not doing this, thus it 
   won’t work. If you can edit the the theme you might be able to come up with some
   ways around this. Either by calling the oembed function directly or just putting
   some extra arguments on the url to hide the related videos.

 * This really goes beyond the kind of thing I can support since it doesn’t have
   anything to do with the plugin. Sorry about that.
