Video Importer

I tried and tested a couple of YouTube video import plugins and none of them actually worked and none of them did what I wanted it to do. Which is just importing YouTube videos as they get published into specified categories.

Except for this plugin. This plugin did exactly what I wanted it to do and it works great!

So well done to you! 

Great plugin that actually works

Save time and hassle by automatically importing videos from your favorite sources on YouTube and Vimeo directly into your WordPress blog.
