This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/shuffles66/shuffles-youtube-shorts/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater, so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.
Readme github.com/shuffles66/shuffles-youtube-shorts ↗

A WordPress plugin for responsive YouTube Shorts galleries that automatically refresh from a nominated channel or playlist.

Features

  • Automatic public YouTube Shorts feed fallback with no API key required for channel galleries.
  • Optional YouTube Data API v3 key stored server-side in WordPress.
  • Channel ID, @handle, channel URL, playlist ID, and playlist URL support.
  • Automatic refresh through configurable WordPress transient caching.
  • Responsive vertical-video gallery that inherits theme colour and background values.
  • Single-player coordination: starting one Short pauses all other embedded Shorts.
  • Shortcode support plus an Elementor widget in a dedicated Shuffles category.
  • GitHub-hosted update metadata and changelog.
  • Privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embeds.
  • Branded plugin icon and a polished release-history display in WordPress.

Shortcode

[shuffles_youtube_shorts channel="@ByronRides" playlist="" cols="4" rows="2" show_titles="yes"]

The playlist attribute takes priority over channel. Using a curated Shorts playlist gives the most exact result because the YouTube Data API does not expose an isShort field. Channel mode selects public, embeddable uploads up to three minutes long.

Release process

  1. Update the Version header in shuffles-youtube-shorts.php.
  2. Update version and compatibility values in update.json.
  3. Add release notes to CHANGELOG.md.
  4. Commit and push the release source.
  5. Create a Git tag named vX.Y.Z and publish the matching GitHub release. The included workflow packages the plugin and attaches shuffles-youtube-shorts.zip to the release.

Installed sites read update.json from the main branch and download the matching release asset.
