- Hey, y'all.
I'm Kori Ashton,
and you have found a YouTube channel
dedicated to all things WordPress.
I am super pumped to share with you
Auto YouTube Importer.
It is one of the newer plugins in the repository
as of today.
But I am so excited about its features and functions,
even in the free version.
It's got amazing potential for us.
So if you're looking to autosync your YouTube channel
with your WordPress website
and have those videos autopublish into your website,
this is the resource for you.
I'll show you how to plug it in right now
and how to handle all the settings.
(upbeat music)
So the plugin I wanna highlight
is called Auto YouTube Importer,
and there is a free version of it,
and that's what I'm gonna show you right now,
how to install.
So you're gonna go into your Dashboard,
into your WordPress Dashboard.
You're gonna go to Plugins and say Add New.
Over here on this right side,
I want you to do a search up here
for the name Auto YouTube Importer.
And there it is right here,
it's by SecondLineThemes.
Now normally, y'all, if you follow my channel,
you know I ask you to please vet every plugin
that you add to your website
and be certain that it has a lot of active installs
and really great reviews.
Well, this is a newer product to the market,
but I'm in love with it.
I've used it now,
and I can't say enough about it,
really excited for this solution to be in our marketplace.
So I'm gonna click Install Now.
I'm running this on the Divi theme,
but this should really play nicely
with any of your themes out there.
And we're gonna click Activate.
Once you do that, the installation process is that simple,
so it's already in here now.
It lives under Tools, under YouTube Importer.
Do you see that over here on the left-hand side?
Under Tools, YouTube Importer, right here.
Going to that,
it's gonna ask you to create an API Key.
Now that already sounds way too technical
for a lot of folks who follow my channel.
But, y'all, it's super, super straightforward,
and they have a really great tutorial.
If you click this little link right here,
it'll jump you over to this little blog post that they did.
And it really has a step-by-step process here
to walk you through exactly how to go setup,
very quickly and easily, your API on your YouTube channel.
Super, super, straightforward thing to do.
Once you have that,
you'll be able to auto-import into your WordPress website.
So I'm gonna go ahead and activate my API Key.
And when you drop that key in there,
you'll click Save Settings,
and it will open up and get ready for you
to activate syncing on scheduling your imports.
And this is exactly what you can do here,
you can come in here,
add in your YouTube Channel ID, right?
This is the specific YouTube channel that you have.
So now only do you have your API Key,
but for added security,
we're gonna drop in that Channel ID.
And if you don't know how to find that,
I'll add another link in the description box below
that'll get you over here to this tutorial,
super straightforward, easy to walk you through
how to find your channel ID.
Once you drop that inside of this Channel ID area,
you can choose what Post Type you want to have.
And if you're running the Pro version,
you can unlock different Post Types here
if you have different custom post types.
It's very cool.
A little bit of an upgrade,
gets you a lot more bells and whistles.
But again, this right now
is looking at simply the free version.
If you want the post to be saved as a draft, you can,
or if you want it to automatically publish
to your website, brilliant.
Yes, do it.
You can choose the author that's available to you,
so I'll choose Kori Ashton.
You can add in the categories
that you want this to be assigned to.
You can import the featured image
off of your YouTube channel,
so that it creates the featured image in your post,
so cool.
And you can set in the import date.
So if you want it to only import in
after a certain amount of time, you can do that.
You can truncate the post content if you want
to basically trim the content down,
whatever's inside of that description box
over inside of YouTube
is gonna automatically import in here
as your post content.
So you can truncate that if you like to,
and you can always extend the post title,
if, again, you wanted to.
But for now, it's that simple.
You click Import
and it will automatically run the import for you.
So, so cool,
works like a charm.
If you wanted to upgrade,
you can see over here,
let me move myself out of the way for a second,
you can see over here that it's super easy.
Click Upgrade, which is what I have done,
and it really just opens up a lot of opportunities for you.
And if you'd kinda like to see the all the way through
what you get for the Pro version,
here's a really cool list right here,
unlimited scheduled imports for multiple YouTube Channels,
import to any Custom Post Type or Custom Taxonomy,
import video player to custom fields,
import tags and categories from the feeds,
force a re-sync on all existing posts,
which is a pretty cool feature as well,
set a global featured image to all imported posts,
if you needed that,
and manually "Sync" button to sync on demand.
So super cool,
and you guys, it's not that expensive at all
to just do that little bump into that Pro version.
This is not an affiliate promotion
of any kind. (upbeat music)
I found this, fell in love with this plugin,
and I'm super excited
to just share this really cool resource with y'all.
