The request did not specify any referer

I am looking at buying tubepress pro version, so I downloaded the free version to see the setup and it is not going well at all. I keep getting this message

"YouTube responded with an error: The request did not specify any referer. Please ensure that the client is sending referer or use the API Console to remove the referer restrictions."

I have followed the instructions for API and have it enabled as step 7 shows. I tried it HTTP and the server way and still get the same message. I have tried with different channels and it just will not load.

Any help would be helpful.

Thanks for the link. Would you ensure that “None” is selected for your key restriction here ¹ (see screenshot ² also)?

Ok it is in none. I have tried that already. In fact a couple of times this time is a charm I hope

ok it is working. thanks for your help

Looks like there’s some caching going on, as this page ¹, which forces TubePress to skip its internal cache, works normally. Are you using a WordPress caching plugin? If so, it might be caching the TubePress error shown here ². We can safely say that your key is set up correctly, though it’s not clear to us why you were getting that error earlier.

Finally, the styling of the information below the video thumbnails (title, description, etc.) looks a little off due to some interference from your theme’s CSS. Please let us know if you need any guidance in resolving that issue.
