  Is there a way to add youtube channel to social media, not username?

  Also, when I put by Username in to test it, it isn’t working. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi,

  That’s not the user name, the name is the one in the link of Youtube.
  Can you provide an example of a video loaded by your user?

  Where are you trying to add that?

  You are trying to link to an actual video? You should be linking to the user with the full URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYmkFbe9SM0PnYjRt_OrljA

  Unless you are trying to embed a video?

  Please explain exactly what you are trying to do? This is very vague.

  You will need to edit the shortcode to adjust the output.

  The file is located /flexform/includes/shortcodes.php the function you need to change is called: social_icons

  Locate this line:

  $social_icons .= '<li class="youtube"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/'.$youtube.'" target="_blank">YouTube</a></li>'."\n";

  And replace with this:

  $social_icons .= '<li class="youtube"><a href="'.$youtube.'" target="_blank">YouTube</a></li>'."\n";

  This will allow you to use a full URL of your desire, such as http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYmkFbe9SM0PnYjRt_OrljA
