Abstrengin YouTube Sync
Automatically syncs YouTube playlist videos to WordPress custom post types with proper Gutenberg blocks, featured images, and VideoObject schema for SEO — no bloat, no paywalls.
Why This Plugin?
If you publish videos on YouTube and want them on your WordPress site, you shouldn't have to manually create a post for each one. Abstrengin YouTube Sync was purposefully built for simplicity: point it at a playlist, pick a category, and it keeps your site in sync automatically.
Features
- Automatic scheduled syncing — configurable frequency from every 30 minutes to daily
- Multiple playlist mappings — sync different playlists to different taxonomy terms
- Gutenberg embed blocks — creates proper WordPress block markup, not raw iframes
- Featured images — sideloads YouTube thumbnails as WordPress media attachments
- Date preservation — posts retain the original YouTube publish date
- Deduplication — never imports the same video twice
- Batch processing — configurable batch size (5–50 videos per sync)
- VideoObject schema — automatic JSON-LD structured data for SEO on single video pages
- Game title extraction — parses game names from video titles for filtering
