How It Works
After installation, you get a dedicated “Video Gallery” section in your dashboard. From there, you can add videos by entering their YouTube or Vimeo IDs, upload custom thumbnail images, and organize them into galleries. Each gallery generates a unique shortcode that you can paste into any page, post, or widget area.
What You Can Build

- Tutorial and course video collections
- Music and entertainment video showcases
- Client testimonial video walls
- Event highlight reels

Журнал змін
1.7.0
- Date: 19-may-2026
- Security Hardening: Migrated YouTube API integration fully server-side. Your YouTube API Key is now 100% hidden and secure from frontend exposure.
- Performance Optimization: Integrated WordPress Transients API to cache YouTube feed data. This slashes page-load overhead to near-zero, protects against API quota depletion, and optimizes SEO search indexing.
- UI Unification: Standardized YouTube galleries to utilize the premium VideoLightning lightbox popups and unified gallery grid columns for a consistent style aesthetic across all types.
- Backward Compatibility: Custom parsing logic handles all historical channel URLs, playlist lists, usernames, and raw IDs seamlessly.
- Escape Compliance: Hardened dashboard security by replacing generic attributes escaping with strict context-specific esc_textarea for textareas.
- Hook Standards: Enqueued dynamic templates styles and scripts using standard wp_add_inline_style and wp_add_inline_script instead of raw inline blocks.
- Clean Asset Optimization: Fully purged the redundant “Go to Top” visual elements, including the return-to-top HTML markup, go-to-top.js, and go-to-top.css files to streamline the plugin package size.
- Compliance Fix: Completely removed the legacy TGM Plugin Activation (TGMPA) library dependency to resolve naming conflicts, update-checker transient issues, and translation domains.
- Asset Cleanup: Removed the unused Bootstrap JS script (
bootstrap.js) file and enqueues. - Library Security: Upgraded the bundled Bootstrap CSS (
bootstrap.css) to the latest secure version (v4.6.2). - Security Hardening: Implemented absolute path execution guards (
ABSPATH) on all plugin PHP files to block direct file access. - Policy Compliance: Added formal disclosures for external third-party services (YouTube and Vimeo) used by the plugin.
