Build a gallery from YouTube videos

YotuWP Pro extends the YotuWP video gallery plugin for WordPress. Create a responsive gallery from a playlist, channel, username, list of video IDs, or single video URL. Use the shortcode generator to prepare a gallery for a page, post, custom post, widget, page builder, product description, or another area that supports shortcodes.

Arrange the gallery and player

YotuWP includes Grid, List, and Mix layouts. Pro adds Carousel and Masonry layouts, Big Player Left and Big Player Right arrangements, and Flip Layout with more than 40 effects. Carousel shows videos in a carousel, Masonry uses an offset arrangement, and the Big Player layouts position the main player beside the video items.

Choose a large player at the head of the gallery or a popup, modal, or lightbox player. In popup mode, visitors can choose a thumbnail or title to open the video in an overlay. Player width is configurable in the settings. Pagination and Load more buttons help organize larger collections.

Customize video details and appearance

Replace video titles, descriptions, and thumbnails with custom text and pictures. YotuWP Pro also includes multiple thumbnail styles, 12 or more hover icons, and custom text for the Next, Prev, and Load more buttons. Set colors for titles, descriptions, and metadata. Galleries can show video views, likes, comments, and published dates.

Install and add a gallery

Install the add-on through the WordPress extensions screen or upload its documents to /wp-content/plugins/yotuwp, then activate it from the Plugins screen. Open the YotuWP menu to set default layout and player values and enter a YouTube API key. Edit a page, post, or custom post, use the YotuWP button to configure a gallery with the embed wizard, and insert its shortcode.

To use a popup player, go to YotuWP > General > Player > Player Mode, select Popup, and save the settings. Configure player width in the player settings.
