## Description

This plugin finds YouTube links in post content and imports the video comments.

Users may also post comments to the video after signing into YouTube.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `youtube-comments` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Edit the settings using the link in the dashboard settings menu.
 4. Sign up for a Google developer account to enable comment posting.
 5. Use the shortcode “[youtube-comments]” to select certain posts or pages.

## FAQ

  1. Why didn’t my comment appear immediately?

Posted comments are often delayed by a short time, even though they appear immediantly
on YouTube.

  2. Why am I still logged into YouTube after signing out?

Sign out only cancels the ability to post comments. Users can only sign out completely
from YouTube/Google.

  3. Do I need to signup for a developer account?

A developer account is only required to post comments. You can show comments without
a developer account.

  4. Why do I get an error message “redirect_uri_mismatch” when signing in?

The redirect URI must exactly match your site’s URL. An extra trailing slash is 
enough to cause that error.

  5. Can I use a custom field for videos?

Yes, a setting is provided for custom fields. YouTube Comments supports the “Automatic
YouTube Video Posts” plugin, and the “deTube” premium theme.
