Overview
The plugin gathers videos from YouTube channels, playlists, and keyword-based searches, then imports them to your WordPress site as posts. You can schedule campaigns to publish new video posts on a timeline, reducing the need to add each video by hand. This setup can suit blogs, news portals, and other sites built around video content.
Imported posts can include video details such as comments, tags, categories, thumbnails, view counts, likes, and duration. Custom post templates and dynamic shortcodes let you set how video content appears in your posts. The plugin also checks for duplicate videos before publishing and uses caching while handling imported video data.
Features
- Multiple video sources: Import videos from YouTube channels, playlists, or search results based on keywords, giving you several ways to find content for your site.
- Scheduled publishing: Set campaigns to publish imported videos on a chosen timeline using WP Cron, so new video posts can appear without manual publishing.
- Video metadata imports: Bring details such as comments, tags, categories, thumbnails, views, likes, and video duration into your WordPress posts.
- Custom post templates: Use customizable post templates with dynamic shortcodes for video embeds, titles, and descriptions to control the layout of imported posts.
- Duplicate video checks: The plugin checks for duplicate videos before publishing and can skip videos that have already been imported.
- Video comment imports: Import comments from videos along with video content, adding YouTube discussion to the corresponding WordPress posts.
- Caching for imports: A caching system handles video data during imports, helping the plugin manage repeated requests for that content.
