YouTube video importer for WordPress
The YouTube video importer that turns videos into content you own
Video Hub is a YouTube video importer for WordPress: it pulls videos from a channel, playlist, user or search and publishes them as real, SEO-ready posts and themed playlists — then keeps them in sync automatically. Not a JavaScript embed widget — actual content on your domain.
Most “YouTube” plugins embed or display video — the views, the SEO value and the next click still belong to YouTube. A true YouTube video importer does something different: it brings the video into WordPress as a post you own, control and rank for. That’s the job Video Hub is built for.
What a YouTube video importer should do
- Import from any source — a channel, playlist, user or search query
- Keep importing automatically, so new uploads appear on your site on their own
- Create real, indexable posts — not throwaway embeds
- Map titles, descriptions, images, categories, tags and dates for you
- Display the result beautifully, and stay fast
Video Hub does all five. Here’s how.
Import from any YouTube source
Point the importer at a channel’s uploads, any playlist, a user, or a search query — and filter by duration and ordering before anything lands on your site. See every import option.
Automatic, hands-off syncing
Set how many videos to import and how often. Cron-based imports run off-request, so syncing a channel never slows down a visitor’s page load. Publish on YouTube; it shows up on your site on its own.
Real content you own — great for SEO
Every imported video becomes a regular post or a dedicated “video” custom post type, with its own slug, schema.org microdata and Yoast Video SEO compatibility. That’s the difference between renting attention on YouTube and owning an indexable video library. See how that compares to embed plugins.
Show it beautifully
Display imported videos in six responsive playlist themes — Grid, Cinema, Listy and more — with pagination and load-more. Browse the themes and demos.

Common questions
Does it import videos as real posts?
Yes — as regular posts or a dedicated video custom post type, not embeds. More answers in the FAQ.
Can it import a whole channel or playlist at once?
Yes — bulk-import a channel or playlist, preview the results and pick what you want, or add a single video.
Do I need a YouTube API key?
It authenticates with OAuth (recommended) or a legacy API key, and shows a daily quota estimate so you stay within YouTube’s limits. See how to get a Client ID and Secret.
