How to add a YouTube playlist to a WordPress gallery

With Modula Video connected to YouTube, you can add a whole YouTube playlist to a WordPress gallery in one go. First you connect your YouTube account. Then you add the playlist.

Connect your YouTube account

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Modula → Settings → Connections.

2. Next to YouTube, click Connect.

   

3. Google opens and asks you to choose an account. Choose the Google account you want to connect.

   

4. Google asks for permission to let the domain access your YouTube data. Click Continue to allow the connection.

   

Google sends you back to Modula → Settings → Connections. YouTube now shows as connected. If Google shows a warning instead, see what to do if Google says the app isn’t verified.

Add a YouTube playlist to a WordPress gallery

Your account is connected, so you can now bring in a playlist.

1. Go to Modula → Galleries.
2. Open a gallery, or create a new one.

3. Click the arrow next to Add and choose A video playlist.

   

4. In the Video Playlist window, paste the link to the YouTube playlist.

   

5. Click Add. Modula imports all the videos from that playlist into your gallery.

To mix YouTube videos and photos in one gallery, follow how to create a photo and video gallery in WordPress. To add a playlist from Vimeo, see how to add a Vimeo playlist to a gallery.

When the gallery is ready, you can show it in a post or page.

If Google says the app isn’t verified

After you choose your Google account, Google may show Google hasn’t verified this app instead of the permission screen. This is Google’s standard warning. Our support team confirms that the connection is safe to use.

To continue, follow these steps:

1. Click Advanced.
2. Click Go to … (unsafe).
3. Click Continue.
4. On the permission screen that follows, click Continue again.

You are then back in Modula → Settings → Connections, where YouTube shows as connected.
