[Help] WordPress Plugin by ChatGPT

[MellowMarsh]

Hello everyone, I am not a programmer, and I need a plugin that I can't find, so I asked ChatGPT for help:

Write a PHP code for a WordPress plugin to play random videos from a YouTube playlist in a pop-up.

And I got this:

Here is a basic example of how you could create a WordPress plugin using PHP to play random videos from a YouTube playlist in a pop-up. Note that this is sample code and may need adjustments based on your needs and your website structure.

Create a folder for your plugin in the directory wp-content/plugins/ and name it, for instance, youtube-random-popup.
Within the plugin folder, create a main file named youtube-random-popup.php and add the following code:

```php
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: YouTube Random Popup
Description: Displays a random YouTube video from a playlist in a pop-up.
Version: 1.0
Author: Your Name
*/

// Enqueue jQuery and your custom script
function youtube_random_popup_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('youtube-random-popup-script', plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'js/script.js', array('jquery'), '1.0', true);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'youtube_random_popup_scripts');

// Add a shortcode to display the pop-up
function youtube_random_popup_shortcode() {
ob_start();
?>
<button id="show-popup">Show Random YouTube Video</button>
<div id="popup-container" style="display: none;">
<iframe id="youtube-player" width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('youtube_random_popup', 'youtube_random_popup_shortcode');
```

Create a folder named js inside the plugin folder and add a file named script.js with the following code:

```js
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#show-popup').on('click', function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'YOUR_SERVER_URL/ajax-request.php', // Change this to the correct URL
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
var randomVideoId = data[Math.floor(Math.random() * data.length)];
var videoUrl = 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + randomVideoId;
$('#youtube-player').attr('src', videoUrl);
$('#popup-container').fadeIn();
}
});
});

$('#popup-container').on('click', function() {
$('#youtube-player').attr('src', '');
$(this).fadeOut();
});
});
```

Create a file named ajax-request.php in the same folder as the script.js file and add the following code:

```php
<?php
$playlist_videos = array(
'VIDEO_ID_1',
'VIDEO_ID_2',
'VIDEO_ID_3'
);

echo json_encode($playlist_videos);
?>
```

Make sure to replace 'VIDEO_ID_1', 'VIDEO_ID_2', etc., with the actual YouTube video IDs you want to include in the playlist.

I uploaded it and it appears active in my Plugins. Where it says "url: 'YOUR_SERVER_URL/ajax-request.php', // Change this to the correct URL" I put this:

```url

https://www.misite.com/wp-content/plugins/youtube-random-popup/js/ajax-request.php

```

I don't see any video (also replaced the IDs), and if I go to the mentioned URL, it says 403 forbidden nginx.

Anyone?
