   I’ll manage, but for the rest, you might want to supply a wget-able link.

   Also, I was about to translate it to Hebrew, but it’s not gettextable.

   Too bad…

     Wouldn’t that be a security risk?

   Can elaborate on the wget-able link? I’m clueless on that.

4. Tzafrir צפריר | May 17th, 2007 at 10:19 am

   Well, you can’t download this through wget.

   A direct link to the file will work, but if you need to count the downloads then you should use something that simply redirects to the file after counting the download.

   Right now the download link gives you the zip file (I actually didn’t notice this earlier), but it’s saved with filename index.html?load=youtubecomments.zip

   Hmm..this is really something new to me. I’m using the WS DownloadManager, not sure if it can do the wget thingy.

    Any chance that you could add spam filtering? I delete certain comments from my WordPress, but when it updates, it re-adds them. Would it be possible to make it so that once it’s deleted it can’t be readded?

    Hi!
    I like your plugin and actually use it on my site. What I wanted to ask though: is there any chance to get the comments as threaded comments, they way they actually are in youtube? There are a lot of plugins for wordpress out there that feature comment-threading. Would be soooo cool.

27. Anthony | October 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    Is there way to make the [..Youtube..] inserted into the comments imported actually LINK to the youtube page it originated from?

    [Reply]
28. Genkisan | October 4th, 2008 at 6:28 am

    LINK to the youtube page it originated from = the youtube video page? Change line 155 in genki_youtube_comments.php to

    $comment_content = ' <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=&#39; . $videopost->meta_value . '">[..YouTube..]</a> ' . addslashes($ytvideo->CONTENT[0]->_text);

    But I wouldn’t recommend changing that code. Reason being you already have existing comments so changing the code will re-grab the comments again, resulting in double comments.

35. Boogieboa | January 15th, 2009 at 11:08 pm

    Love the plugin. Cheers!

    Do we need to keep [..YouTube..] in the comment box in order to update comments? Or can it be deleted without creating double entries?

    So I’ve downloaded my first 25 comments to my blog. Another five comments have been added since then. What happens when I update next time? Do I just get the new comments added?

    Thanks again!!

    [Reply]
    • Genkisan | January 16th, 2009 at 7:35 am

      As you have downloaded comments before, there will be double entries if you remove the [..YouTube..]

      [Reply]
      • Boogieboa | January 18th, 2009 at 12:31 am

        What if the tag is not removed? Does the plugin add new comments to the last 25 fetched? Or does it overwrites the previous 25 downloaded with the latest twenty-five?

        [Reply]
36. Boogieboa | January 18th, 2009 at 12:07 am

    • Genkisan | January 18th, 2009 at 9:05 am

      Out of the box, the plugin should only fetch new comments. It will check for existing comments and ignore them. What’s your blog url?

    Could you explain how to moderate comments in WordPress 2.7.1? I would like to manually approve each comment it fetches, but the instructions you show above don’t apply to the new version. Thanks for the great plugin?

    [Reply]
    • Genkisan | April 1st, 2009 at 7:17 am

      All comments are approved by default. if you wish to manually approve the comments, you need to modify the plugin. Open genki_youtube_comments,

      line 156, change to “$comment_approved = 0;”
      line 179, change to ” //wp_update_comment_count($videopost->post_id);”

      [Reply]
      • Adi | April 4th, 2009 at 12:35 am

        Thanks…I tried that, and it worked. But if I click “download comments” again, it re-downloads all of those comments I just un-approved. What do you suggest?

        [Reply]
        • Genkisan | April 4th, 2009 at 7:07 am

          Do not delete or mark them as spam. Set the comment status to “Moderated” (see picture under the tips & tricks section).

      • jakub | August 3rd, 2012 at 7:02 pm

        Great plugin!
        But I have one problem.
        I modifited this line: “line 156, change to “$comment_approved = 0;”
        (it is line 226 in my file)

        And I can’t find this:
        ” line 179, change to ” //wp_update_comment_count($videopost->post_id);” ”

        And…. Comments are approved by default still.

          Tested ok with comments now marked as Pending.

    • Adi | April 5th, 2009 at 7:12 am

        Oh yea.. since you modified the plugin, the default status is already “Pending”. So you don’t need to set the status to “Pending”. Leave them as they are, and don’t delete or mark them as spam.

    [Reply]
    • Genkisan | April 28th, 2009 at 7:27 am

      I think I will leave this as a hack, as switching between the 2 will result in duplicate comments.

      Replace

      $comment_content = ' [..YouTube..] ' . addslashes($ytvideo->CONTENT[0]->_text);

      with

      $comment_content = addslashes($ytvideo->CONTENT[0]->_text);

          Hi, this is a fantastic plug-in, but it stopped working for us when we upgraded to 2.8. Any chance you’ll add support for the latest WP build?

          Specifically, it doesn’t update automatically and when you click “Manual Update Comments” nothing happens.

45. Nico | August 27th, 2009 at 12:50 pm

    Just wondering if it would be possible to push comments from a Vimeo.com video (or really any other video sites) as well. Apologies if this is a ridiculous request as I’m unaware of the labor involved in this. Just curious as I have a portfolio blog of sorts and Vimeo is a little more for us “art-folk.”
    Thanks

    [Reply]
    • Genkisan | August 28th, 2009 at 7:26 am

      Possible as vimeo’s api allows for comment to be retrieve. I hope someone can pick this up and modify the code.

      [Reply]
      • Nico | August 30th, 2009 at 2:47 am

        Well that is good to know. Hopefully someone (smarter than I) will be able to conjure something up. I spent a few hours looking into ways of re-engineering your code with the Vimeo API docs but I’m not too bright when it comes to this stuff

      I just kept pressing Update Manually and after the 4th time it worked on the newer posts, maybe a backlog? But I have been noticing since 2.8.2 and higher the updates take longer and longer to do so automatically

      [Reply]
    • Genkisan | December 25th, 2009 at 7:59 am

      Sounds like your server is overloaded while fetching too many comments. You may want to reduce the number of videos to be fetched by deleting the “youtubevidid” key in some older posts. A faster server may also help.

    The post of xumuk3 says: keeps on coming in.
    I use the plugin 1.2 and did not do any changes.
    What i do know is i checked youtube, and the post was marked as spam.. i unchecked the spam tag, deleted the comments on my blog, and updated a few times, still the same..

      • RoboCNC | February 18th, 2010 at 1:06 am

        That is no solution…
        I trashed all of them except 2.
        1 of them i leave un harmed (just the comment to show on the blog)
        1 of them i mark as pending…
        Update, and still it keeps on coming in…

        every hour it downloads the same comment again..

        What i ment with the spam is that somehow or someone marked his comment as spam “on youtube” not on my blog..
        I only tell this because this may be the problem/bug…

        It works fine for all other comments (about 150) only this one keeps coming in..

    [Reply]
    • Genkisan | October 24th, 2010 at 5:42 am

      Looking at your comments feed, this plugin has already done its job of grabbing the comments.

      http://resistanceents.com/comments/feed

      Please check with your theme author whether the theme is coded to show comments. As I do not see any comment form or fields. So I doubt even normal comments will show up.

      [Reply]
    • Jr | October 30th, 2010 at 5:55 pm

      Once you add the plugin and activate it, select a post that you want to add the comments to. Then go to the custom field, and add a new custom field. The name can be whatever you want, but were instructed to use youtubevidid by default,then enter the video id in the value field (can be found if you go to YouTube, select the video, click share and that will tell you the id, ex. bz9cwSvb4Q); update and then save. So here is where I had to play around to figure this out. After all that (you will have to enter and add the custom field and unique YouTube video id to each post with a video on it), go to the “settings” (left sidebar), “YouTube comments”, select an option on how often to update, click “update”, and then click “update comments now”. It worked for me and hopefully for you to. Best of luck.

    I’ve downloaded your plugin and followed the instructions by putting in youtubevidid into the custom field alongside the value but i can’t seem to get this to work for my wordpress 3.0. When i click update, it does not add the comments into my blog.

    Am i doing something wrong, here is the video i am trying to use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG5M5Je-IJc

    I am using the value ‘qG5M5Je-IJc’ – i can’t seem to get it to work for any of my videos on my blog.

    I’ve followed the exact instructions recommended over and over again, but i have a feeling maybe my wordpress isn’t supporting your plugin? My blog allows comments just fine but not youtube comments.

    If you are one of the people who’ve edited the template to remove the “[...YouTube...]” part, be careful when updating since it overwrites the template and adds that back. The plugin will view the “[..YouTube..]” prefix as a new comment and re-add everything, resulting in hundreds or thousands of dupe comments in my case.

    It is totally my fault for not realizing, but just posting this here to maybe save someone else from making the same mistake that I did. It will take a long time to clean up this mistake.

    As the new versions of wordpress only require a link to youtube and it will embed the video automaticly in the post…

    … It would be really nice to get your plugin automaticly sync with youtube-links in the post. (without manually have to use custom fields)

    Thank you for a great plugin… please get back to me if there already is a way to get this to work automaticly.

    We have Genki and Disqus integrated together. It seems to be working although there is one bug.

    I did have to use the Disqus export function for it to pull comments from YouTube, which worked, but then what it did was give the same profile on the latest commenter for ALL commenters. You can see an example here:
    http://www.asianmanwhitewoman.com/admin/he-said-she-said/why-i-am-not-interested-in-dating-asian-men/

    Is there a correction for this? Thanks and I think this is a really good plugin!

    [Reply]
    • Genkisan | January 21st, 2011 at 4:09 pm

      I did a quick import and from Disqus.com dashboard, the imported comments seems fine,
      with the correct commentator for each comment.
      Only the display on the blog post is incorrect.
      You may want to check with Disqus on this.

    can you add an option to disable the [..YouTube..] prefix, so that people like me, who just have their blog with comments and videos from youtube, can show it as normal comments?

    • Genkisan | May 28th, 2011 at 8:35 am

      Seems like you edited the plugin to remove the [..youtube..] text, which may have caused the duplicate comments. See http://ericulous.com/2007/05/16/wp-plugin-genki-youtube-comments/#comment-9266

    Fantastic plugin. Works great! Thank you…Any chance of you modifying it to grab Facebook video comments or even making separate plugin? It could work under the same premise of getting the video id and pulling the comments into any given blog post comments. I searched and can’t find anything that import Facebook video comments specifically. Please share your thoughts about this.

    Love this concept as Comments are easy on YouTube, but like you say, my blog goes quiet. Install went great, but when I went to edit my posts, the “custom fields” is absent! Is this a WP 3.2 issue or am I just going nuts?

    I am wondering though do I need to keep naming my custom fields sequentially when I write a new post, e.g. youtubevidid21 for a new post when I added youtubevidid20 on a pevious post? Or can I start over with (youtubevidid, youtubevidid1, … ) on a new post.

    It would be terrific if the Youtube comments *COULD* appear in a sidebar widget — my WP theme has a video stream that is not set up as a page or post and nowhere to include the appropriate code to generate this plugin.

    Is there some way to do this via a text widget perhaps?

    This looks like a great plugin! But I’m having trouble getting it to work. My server does have curl on, but when I click on update it doesn’t fetch any comments. Does this work with WP 3.2.1 ?

      • Kim | October 15th, 2011 at 8:41 am

        I reinstalled it and followed each step, but it still didn’t work. :s Should the manual update, import the comments right away or is there a time laps? I’ve tried using both the manual update and the time setting. Neither have worked so far.

      • Kim | October 15th, 2011 at 10:38 am

        Sorry for so many comments. I’ve been playing around with this today and also found a vid how to on it. So I know it’s not working right on my site. I’ve installed it properly, but when I click on the manual update, the screen refreshes, but doesn’t show a list of imported comments below it. It’s just all white. I don’t have any other comment plugins installed other then a rating system. Disabling it didn’t change anything. I’ve tried with my 2 newest video posts, and they do have comments on YT.
        Odd why I can’t figure this out…

    If anyone’s interested, I edited my comments.php template so that the YouTube comments display a YouTube image for the avatar. Here’s the code…

    Note: I had to remove at the beginning and end as well as before before img and the closing tag of img so that you could see the code in this response.

    ?php
    if ($comment->comment_author_email == “[email protected]”) echo ‘ img style=”height:40px; width:40px” src=”http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/creators_corner/YouTube/40x40_yt_white.png” /’;

    Hi, not sure if you know or not but there seems to be a problem when a video has over 200 comments. All pages with videos that have under 200 comment load fine. However, those with more than 200 comments load some strange blank screen.

    It would be nice to set the number of comments to display and allow the user to page through them, too.

    PS: I love it
