* Automatic Synchronization: Hourly checks using native WP-Cron.
* Manual Sync Button: Force sync your videos instantly without waiting for the next cron cycle.
* Full Import: Pulls Title, Description, and Tags from the original video.
* Native Thumbnails: Downloads the video cover and sets it as the Featured Image in the Media Library.
* Duplicate Prevention: Smart system ensuring a video is never imported twice.
* Author Attribution: Choose which WordPress user will author the publications.
* Multiple Categories: Define which categories the new videos should be organized into.
* Draft Posts: Videos are imported as Drafts for your review before publishing.

常見問題集
-
Where do I find my API Key?
-
You need a Google Cloud Console account. Create a new project, enable the ‘YouTube Data API v3’ in the API library, and create an ‘API Key’ under Credentials. Ensure you do not restrict server requests on your key for this plugin to work properly.
-
How do I find my Channel ID?
-
The channel ID is not your username or handle (@). It is a string of characters that usually starts with ‘UC’. Go to your channel’s main page, click on ‘About’ or ‘More info’, and scroll to the bottom; in the share option, the link will contain your ID.
-
Does the plugin publish the videos immediately?
-
No, for security and editorial control, all imported videos are saved as ‘Draft’. This allows you to review the text, add extra content, or schedule the publication for the best time on your blog.
-
Why are my videos not syncing automatically?
-
The plugin relies on WordPress native cron (WP-Cron). WP-Cron only runs when your website receives a visitor. If your site has low traffic, the scheduled tasks might be delayed. You can use the “Force Sync” button in the settings, or set up a real server cron job through your hosting panel.
