Frequently asked questions

Does it import videos as real posts or just embeds?

Real posts. Each video becomes indexable WordPress content — either a regular post or a dedicated “video” custom post type with its own archive and single pages — not a throwaway embed. See how it compares to other plugins.

Can it import automatically, on a schedule?

Yes. Set how many videos to pull and how often, and cron-based imports keep your channels and playlists in sync — running off-request so they don’t slow visitors down.

Which sources can I import from?

Four: a search query, a channel’s uploads, a user feed, or any playlist — with filters for duration and ordering.

Will it slow my site down?

It’s built to stay light: imports run off-request via cron, images can be fetched on demand, and it supports AMP. A maintenance routine also retires dead or non-embeddable videos automatically.

Does it work with Gutenberg and Elementor?

Both — plus shortcodes ([cbc_video] and [cbc_playlist]) and widgets, so you can place single videos or playlists anywhere.

Is it good for SEO?

Video pages carry schema.org microdata, it works with Yoast Video SEO, and you can include videos in homepage listings and your main RSS feed. More on the features page.

Do I need a YouTube API key? What about quotas?

Video Hub authenticates with OAuth (recommended) or a legacy API key, letting you import public videos and your own playlists and unlisted videos. It shows a daily API quota estimate so you can stay within YouTube’s limits. Here’s how to get your Client ID and Secret.

Can I import a whole channel or playlist at once?

Yes. Bulk-import a channel or playlist — preview the results and selectively import what you want — or add a single video on its own.

Can I customize the player and hide YouTube branding?

Yes. Control aspect ratio, autoplay, controls and fullscreen; enable modest branding to hide the logo; turn off related videos; set the player color; and use the no-cookie embed.

Does it support AMP?

Yes — it works with the official AMP plugin.

How much does it cost?
