Revolution Slider: Failed to load Stream - YouTube feed

[sevenagesdesign]

Hi there,

I’ve got a client who’s interested in embedding their YouTube feed on their site with Revolution Slider. I’ve created and tested it out with various API keys and YouTube accounts, but all of them give me the “Failed to load stream” error. I’m at a loss as to what to do to fix this. Do you have any advice on what steps I should take?

Thank you!

Hi There @sevenagesdesign

Thanks for writing in! If you have double check your API keys, the other most common issue is that server hosting companies disable stream wrappers.

Check your error log and see if you can see any error as follows.

PHP Warning: file_get_contents(https://api.example.com/?…): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could

In such cases, you will have to contact your hosting provider to enable stream wrappers in the php.ini file.

If you haven’t enabled your error log already, please check the following resource on how to enable it (https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-set-up-wordpress-error-logs-in-wp-config/).

Hope that helps.
