    Hi @engblu,

    We are aware of some current YouTube issues. Our developers are working hard to get these resolved.

    We should be pushing a Feed Them Social update to the free plugin either later today or tomorrow. This will include fixes for the YouTube feeds. Please keep an eye out for this update. After you update the plugin, you may need to update your YouTube access token and generate a new YouTube feed shortcode. Then, after you update/publish, clear the FTS cache so that the changes can take effect.

    Again, hopefully we can push this update out soon.

    That being said, if you need the feed up now, gaining a YouTube API Key (instead of using a YouTube access token) could resolve this issue in the meantime.

    To do this, in your WordPress dashboard, go to Feed Them > YouTube Options and go through the steps to reacquire a new YouTube API key (these ultimately work better than a YT access token, as the API key is less likely to run afoul of YouTube’s rate limits, but are more involved to set up) You can generate an API Key manually by clicking the API Key box and entering in your API Key. You can generate an API Key by clicking the ‘Button Not Working?’ link next to the white Access Token box or by clicking this link: https://www.slickremix.com/docs/get-api-key-for-youtube/

    Best regards

    We’ve made a few updates recently that should correct this problem. Additionally I checked your shortcode and it does work for me. Let me know if you are still having troubles after you have update the plugin to the most recent version 2.9.8.4

    Have a great weekend!

    Spencer
