<p>YouTube Post Type allows you to easily add YouTube videos as post into your WordPress installation via the introduction of register_post_type in WordPress v2.9. This will make YouTube a first class citizen in your WordPress.</p>
<p>Why would you want to do this? If you want a post to represent a YouTube video.</p>
<p>You add YouTube videos by specifying the URL or the YouTube id.</p>
<p>Your YouTube thumbnails are also downloaded and pulled into the system so you can use them. Your YouTube also gets associated to the first thumbnail found.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>YouTube Post Type allows a WordPress post to represent a YouTube video via WordPress custom post types. This makes YouTube a first class citizen, and easily extensible by other plugins.</p>
<h3>Why I Created It</h3>
<p>Shortcomings of other YouTube plugins:</p>
<ol>
<li>Most of them were to embed YouTube video via a WordPress shortcode</li>
<li>None of them detailed how the plugin worked to support a YouTube as a post.</li>
</ol>

<p>This plugin adds a simple post-type drop-down to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post’s type while editing your post.</p>
<h4>Supported Types</h4>
<p>The plugin can convert nearly every combination of posts, pages, and even custom post types:</p>
<ul>
<li>Page to Post</li>
<li>Post to Page</li>
<li>Post to Custom</li>
<li>Custom to Custom</li>
</ul>
<p>As of 3.0.0, support for switching to or from Attachments was removed. This may come back in a subsequent version.</p>
<p>Invisible post types, such as revisions, menus, etc., are purposely excluded. But, if you need to access invisible post types, you can adjust the boundaries using the ‘pts_post_type_filter’ filter.</p>
<h4>Bulk Editing</h4>
<p>With bulk editing (thanks to Matthew Gerring) you can select all the posts in a certain type and convert them to a new type with one quick action.</p>
<h4>Block Editor</h4>
<p>With block-editor (aka Gutenberg) support (thanks to Daniel Bachhuber) you can switch between post-types that use either the Block Editor and the Classic one, without losing any of your embedded content.</p>
