How it works:
This plugin uses YouTube API V3 to retrieve dynamic data from feed URLs, and then, places those data in your options database to access, use and modify anytime. As those data are stored in the database, then this process is good for optimization and it is like caching and thus those data are renewed ( cache clearing process ) after X hours of your choice.
