LR YouTube Grid Gallery

After activating the plugin, go to Videos in the WordPress admin menu. Click Add New, enter a title, and paste the YouTube video URL in the Details of Video meta box. You can also assign a category and optional description for each video.

Add the shortcode [lryg-youtube-grid-gallery] to any page, post, or widget area that supports shortcodes. You can also insert it from the visual editor using the LR YouTube Grid Gallery TinyMCE button.

The shortcode supports these attributes:

• order – Sort direction: ASC or DESC (default: DESC)
• orderby – Sort field: date, name, or rand (default: date)
• posts – Number of videos to show (default: 6; use -1 to show all)
• category – Category slug to filter by, or all for every category (default: all)

Go to Videos > Categories in the admin menu and create categories as needed. Assign categories when editing a video, then use the category shortcode attribute with the category slug to display only videos from that group.

The plugin accepts standard YouTube links such as:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&feature=related
• https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
