WordPress Video Robot - The Ultimate Videos Importer 1.20.0

WordPress Video Robot (commonly known as WP Video Robot) is an advanced automation plugin designed to turn your WordPress site into a "Video Portal." It specializes in video importing—automatically pulling content from major platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion and turning them into individual WordPress posts.

In 2025, it remains one of the most robust "autoblogging" tools for video creators, affiliate marketers, and niche news sites.

🚀 Key Features

Multi-Source Importing: Simultaneously fetch videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, Twitch, and even TED.

5 Smart Import Methods: You can tell the robot exactly what to look for using:

Keywords/Search: Import any video matching your niche keywords.

Channels: Automatically sync an entire YouTube or Vimeo channel.

Playlists: Keep your site updated with specific curated playlists.

User Uploads: Track a specific creator's new content.

Trends: Import "Top Trending" videos globally or by region.

Full Automation (Cron Jobs): Set a schedule (e.g., every 30 minutes) for the robot to scan for new videos. It works in the background so your site grows even while you’re away.

Auto-Data Population: The plugin doesn't just pull the video; it automatically imports the Title, Description, Tags, Duration, and View Counts, and sets the video's thumbnail as the WordPress Featured Image.

Anti-Duplicate System: Built-in logic ensures that the same video is never imported twice, keeping your database clean and your SEO healthy.

🛠️ How it Works: The "Source" Workflow

Add a Source: You define a "Source" (e.g., "YouTube Search for 'Electric Cars'").

Define Rules: You set filters—only import videos longer than 5 minutes, or only those with more than 10,000 views.

Map Content: Choose which WordPress category the videos should go to and which user should be the "Author."

Test & Run: Click "Test" to see a live preview of what will be imported, then set the source to "Active."

⚠️ Important Considerations for 2025

API Keys Required: To use this plugin, you must generate a YouTube Data API Key (Free up to a limit) and similar keys for other platforms.

Copyright & SEO: Simply "scraping" thousands of videos without adding your own commentary can lead to "Thin Content" penalties from Google. It is best used for curated galleries or sites where you add unique value around the videos.

Vulnerabilities: Ensure you are using the latest version (v1.20.0 or higher), as older versions have had security patches for SQL injection and XSS.

💰 Pricing & Availability

Marketplace: Found on CodeCanyon (Envato Market).

Regular License: Approximately $35–$45 (One-time payment).

Includes: Lifetime updates and 6 months of support from the developer, pressaholic.
