 * Is it possible to use the shortcode to embed a single video in a page/post? This
   is a feature I would love to see.
 * I have a page showing a gallery of videos but would like to embed individual 
   videos in posts. I want a little more control then the WordPress default embed
   offers and would prefer not to use yet another plugin.
 * Many Thanks

 * Yes, it is. You need to create Categories and place the video(s) you want displayed
   on any particular page in that category. You can then edit the short code to 
   only include a specific category (instead of the default “all”).
 * Default Short Code: [myvideogall:events]
    “Filtered” Short Code: [myvideogall:
   category_name]
 * FYI, I originally used a 2-word category name and could not get the short code
   to work with two words, even when in quotes. Don’t know if there’s another way,
   but I’m just using single word names for my categories, now.

 * Two word category names work when you don’t use _ to separate them. Just type
   them into the shortcode as they are with regular spaces.

 * I think you misunderstood me. I would like to display a single video in a post,
   not a complete category. Creating a category for each video would mean I couldn’t
   display a group of videos that would be formatted nicely.

 * Well, you’re asking for two different things, now. You want to (A) display a 
   single video in a single post and, (B) a page that displays multiple videos (
   a gallery).
 * You can keep the gallery as-is, if you’re happy with how that looks. But you 
   would have to create new categories with the individual videos to display single
   videos in a post.
 * I know it doesn’t sound very efficient, but MyVideoGall is designed to be a gallery(
   Gall), so you have to present your videos in galleries, even if it’s just a gallery
   of one.
 * You may want to search for a plug-in that allows you to “tag” videos with something
   that could be filtered on – or even something that allows multiple tags, but 
   I’m not aware of MyVideoGall having that capability.

 * hi, if i want to use shortcode in a page template? not from dashboard but inside
   the php file?
 * in my home.php i write
 *     ```
       <?php echo do_shortcode("[myvideogall:all]"); ?>
       ```
   
 * but when loading site i see the text “[myvideogall:all]” so the shortcode not
   work.. any solutions?

 * You can put something like this
 * `<?php echo videogall_display_videos("all"); ?>`
