After activating the Esquina Shortcodes Plugin, a top-level EsquinaWeb menu entry appears in the WordPress admin sidebar at position 30, identified by the dashicons-superhero icon. From here you can configure every aspect of the plugin — API credentials, feed defaults, and the related post recommendations feature — without touching PHP configuration files. The EsquinaWeb menu contains four pages:
PageSlugPurpose
EsquinaWebesquinaweb-dashboardAuthor links and plugin resources
YouTubeesquina-youtubeAPI key, channel ID, and feed defaults
Facebookesquina-facebookAccess token, page ID, and pagination settings
Recomendacionesesquina-recomendacionesRelated post recommendations settings

​
Dashboard Page

The dashboard is the first page you see when you click EsquinaWeb in the admin menu. It is purely informational and does not save any settings. It displays a grid of cards with links to the author’s websites, social profiles, professional profiles, documentation, and plugin releases. The dashboard grid contains the following link groups:
  • Sitios Web — EsquinaWeb, EsquinaGamers, EsquinaAnime
  • Facebook — EsquinaGamers page, EsquinaWeb page
  • YouTube — EsquinaStudio channel
  • TikTok — EsquinaStudio profile
  • Profesional — LinkedIn, GitHub profile
  • Documentación — knowledge base and official documentation
  • Plugin WordPress — GitHub repository and releases

​
YouTube Settings Page

Navigate to EsquinaWeb → YouTube to configure the YouTube Data API v3 integration. Settings are stored in the esquina_youtube_settings WordPress option (wp_options table). All values set here become the defaults for the [youtube_largo] and [youtube_shorts] shortcodes. Individual shortcode attributes always override these defaults.
​
api_key
string
required
Your YouTube Data API v3 key. Displayed as a password field with a show/hide toggle. If left empty, the plugin falls back to the ESQUINA_YT_API_KEY constant defined in wp-config.php.
​
channel_id
string
required
The YouTube channel ID (begins with UC…). The plugin derives the uploads playlist ID from this value automatically (converting UC… → UU…) without an extra API call.
​
max_largos
integer
default:"6"
Maximum number of long-form videos (duration > 60 seconds) to display. Accepts 1–100. Set to 0 or all to enable unlimited AJAX loading.
​
columns_largos
integer
default:"3"
Number of columns in the long-video grid. Accepts 1–6.
​
batch_largos
integer
default:"6"
Number of long videos loaded per AJAX “load more” request. Accepts 1–50.
​
max_shorts
integer
default:"6"
Maximum number of Shorts (duration ≤ 60 seconds) to display. Accepts 1–100. Set to 0 or all to enable unlimited AJAX loading.
​
columns_shorts
integer
default:"4"
Number of columns in the Shorts grid. Accepts 1–6.
​
batch_shorts
integer
default:"8"
Number of Shorts loaded per AJAX “load more” request. Accepts 1–50.

​
Facebook Settings Page

Navigate to EsquinaWeb → Facebook to configure the Facebook Graph API integration. Settings are stored in the esquina_facebook_settings WordPress option. All values set here become the defaults for the [facebook_posts] shortcode. Individual shortcode attributes always override these defaults.
​
access_token
string
required
Your Facebook Page Access Token. Displayed as a password field with a show/hide toggle. If left empty, the plugin falls back to the ESQUINA_FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN constant defined in wp-config.php, or to the esquina_fb_access_token WordPress filter.
​
page_id
string
required
The numeric Facebook Page ID. Only digits are accepted — any non-numeric characters are stripped before the API request is made.
​
limit
integer
default:"25"
Number of posts to request per Graph API call. Accepts 1–100. This is the limit parameter sent to the /{page_id}/posts endpoint.
​
per_page
integer
default:"4"
Number of posts displayed per page in the frontend feed widget. Accepts 1–20. When the user navigates past the last locally loaded page, a new AJAX request is made automatically using the Graph API cursor.

​
Recomendaciones Settings Page

Navigate to EsquinaWeb → Recomendaciones to configure automatic related post recommendations. Settings are stored in the esquina_recomendaciones_settings WordPress option. For a full description of every field, see the Recomendaciones feature page. A quick reference of available settings:

Credentials Stored in the Database

Credentials saved through the admin settings pages are stored in the WordPress wp_options table and take priority over any ESQUINA_YT_API_KEY or ESQUINA_FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN constants defined in wp-config.php. This means you can deploy and update credentials directly from the admin UI without touching PHP configuration files — useful for managed hosting environments where direct file access is restricted.
