FAQ
-
Do I need to wrap shortcode parameters to doublequotes or singlequotes?
-
No. I even suggest to you avoid wrapping shortcode parameters to double/single quotes to prevent broken output when some plugins modify content with nasty filters.
Just avoid empty space between ID’s.
-
Is there any way to make the pop up player any bigger?
-
You can use custom style with following selector and a rule:
.ytc-mfp-container.ytc-mfp-iframe-holder .ytc-mfp-content { max-width: 1200px; }
Just set preferred popup max width in pixels.
