social profiles – you tube

[cheriserollins]

Hello,

I have a YouTube Channel and I put in my YouTube User ID in the “You Tube” field under the social profile page on this template and it is taking me to an incorrect page.
I noticed the extension is generated as: http://www.youtube.com/user/myuserID and my page is actually http://www.youtube.com/channel/myuserID – so it’s “channel” and not “user” How can I edit the social profile code so that it is linked to the correct web address?

Thanks,
Cherise

Hi Cherise,

This was meant for users only and I agree we should have an option to specify this.

Not sure if there will be an update on this anytime soon, so here’s how you can do it yourself:

– Open supreme/includes/shortcodes.php via FTP with a code editor, such as Sublime Text 2 or Dreamweaver or Notepad++
– go to line 600, where you see this:

if ($youtube) { $social_icons .= '<li class="youtube"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/'.$youtube.'" target="_blank">YouTube</a></li>'; }

Change that to:

if ($youtube) { $social_icons .= '<li class="youtube"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/'.$youtube.'" target="_blank">YouTube</a></li>'; }

Save the file to server and it should work as you need it now.

Hello,

I have follow your instructions and replace “user” by “channel” in supreme/includes/shortcodes.php line 600.

However it still refers to user instead of channel in the blog, I notice the same loop is line 654, I also change this and still not working.

Is there anything else that need to be changed?

Thanks a lot, Antonio.

Hi Antonio,

This was tested and works, are you sure you saved the updated file to server?

Hi Cosmin,

I am pretty sure I have saved and updated file to server.

path is /web/blog/wp-content/themes/supreme/includes/shortcodes.php

I attached the file for you to check.

URL is http://www.gloriavelazquez.com/blog

I can give you ftp access so you can have a look if you wish.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Regards, Antonio.

Hi Antonio,

Yes, please privately reply with FTP info so I can take a look myself 🙂

(we don’t allow uploading PHP files here in the forums)

Hi Cosmin,

I figure out the solution, it is also required to change ‘user’ for ‘channel’ in line 83 in file widget-subscribers.php

wp-content/themes/supreme/includes/widgets/widget-subscribers.php

Thanks anyway, regards, Antonio.

Hi Antonio,

Sorry for the late reply, we don’t usually work on weekends.

And yes, if you use the widget, then that’s the correct edit to make – glad to hear you got it working 🙂
