If you are using multiple walls on a single page, then each of your shortcodes needs to have a unique ID.

Advanced Usage

For those of you who know your way around a WordPress theme, it’s possible to embed the Youtube Wall directly within your theme using the wordpress function do_shortcode. This will allow you to put the widget anywhere in your theme, even outside of a post or a page.

To do so, use the following PHP code anywhere in your theme.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[getYouTubeWallPro]') ?>
