Importing videos

HI

I want to import list of videos and create video post.

I’m using WP Ultimate CSV importer where i can map fields.

I cannot get youtube link to field cf_td_post_video .. no matter what i enter into that field .. url is not imported .. same with post format. I noticed something. If i export a post, then fields are different

cf_td_post_video
a:1:{s:8:”td_video”;s:43:”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziYpcmeJ4l0″;}

tx_post_format
post-format-video:Video

i’m struggling with import export for 3 hours now .. no way to import.

So, i switched to All Import CSV plugin .. managed everything except Youtube links gives me headache

if i import into td_post_video normal link like https://www.coutube.com/watch=?hjkhkjhkj nothing happens. Link is not imported.

After looking into database i saw some letters added and i combined (trying everything in past 4 hours 🙂 ) and if i try to import link like

a:1:{s:8:”td_video”;s:43:”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWp7SQcHbao”;}

then i get url imported, without thumbnail ..

So, only thumbnail i have to solve 🙂

any clue?

Thank you

For one thing its youtube not coutube in you link you posted. Why are you importing when you can just put the link in the post area and if you are making video post, just select video format and add the link down on right side on bottom for the video. Nothing else needs to be done. Unless you are using a plugin, then that is the plugin author you need to talk to.

Missed that question mark in there.

Hi doucare1971

Thank you for your reply. Coutube was mistype here, not when importing 😉

As a matter of fact, we have 200 hundred videos, ready for import and yes, i’m trying to import it as Featured video not in post.

If i import normal youtube link, nothing happens .. no entry in Featured video. That is my problem .

Thank you

Well, I have no clue then, because I got featured videos working perfectly fine on my website. So it isn’t the theme causing it. I would have the same issue if it was the theme. Please do not be upset with what I said, because you might hear it from staff too. It might be a plugin you are using. Not for what you are doing but another conflicting it.

No hard feelings at all 🙂 that’s why we have this community, to talk about and to help if possible 🙂

Of course i was talking about importing with plugin (WP all import pro), where i map fields. If i submit new video by “Add new” everything works like a charm.

Waiting for official support … 😉
