Themes
YouTubeR comes with some pretty cool templates, this are the current options: default, dark.
You can create your own custom theme for YouTubeR, to do so let’s say you set the parameter theme to custom.
[mx_youtuber theme=”custom”]
Then you can add your own styles to the gallery with the base class mxYouTubeR_theme_custom.
If you need to customize/overwrite the code of the template you can create a folder inside your website theme with the name mxyoutuber and another folder inside it with the name of the theme you want, in this case custom.
Copy the original files from themes/default inside the plugin’s folder into the mxyoutuber/custom inside your website theme, you just need to copy the files you want to customize.
The logic of the plugin when searching for a file of the template custom template is as it follows:
1. The plugin will look for the file inside the website theme folder
2. The plugin will look for the file inside the plugin folder
3. The plugin will load the default theme file
