This is, for me, the best concept for a YouTube subscribe bar because it is meant to seamlessly and automatically place a bar under each video. Problem is, the plugin itself does not appear to work any longer under the latest versions of Wordpress … and the developer does not respond to requests for upgrade or service. I am very much interested in having such a plugin that works, and am willing to pay a nominal develop fee to get it working … so if a Wordpress developer reads this and is interested in helping, please contact me. Thanks!
