 * Hello,
    I have the following message: “Sorry, there was a YouTube API error: 
   The playlist identified with the request’s playlistId parameter cannot be found.
   Please make sure you performed the steps in this video to create and save a proper
   server API key.”
 * Yet the API key is correct.
    and I have marked the following shorcode in my page:[

 * We recommend that you check to see if you’ve created the API correctly. Often
   times, folks will put the IP address restrictions instead of the 2 domain link

 * One restriction you might want to turn on is the HTTP referrers (web sites) option,
   however, make sure you include your domain AND the following exact text: *.googleapis.

 * Looking at the error, the playlist seems to be invalid. What link did you paste
   into the wizard to start with?
 * Should we close?
