WP Tuber
Nurtures your sites with tubed video content. The nurturing tubes directly stem from YouTube. So if your ideas are weak or not flowing, don’t get a headache, switch on WP Tuber, and have YouTube born videos pumped in. WP Tuber automatically pipes the YouTube tags into WP tags, which gives you extra pages in the SERPs. This WordPress plugin is simple, essential and of course free.
A meat and potatoes tool for the savvy auto-blogger.
Here is how you set it up:
- Add a new tube. Each tube sucks in a new video theme.
- Select the category to save it in.
- Select date range.
- Select maximum number of posts to grab.
- Select daily range for randomization.
- Select YouTube categories to grab from. Multiselection is enabled.
- Choose target language.
- Enter the keywords under which you want to publish the keywords.
- Save configuration or save and start process.
- You can use different search criteria within a single categories.
Under the options tab you can
- Select a location for image files of thumbnails/screenshots grabbed form YouTube. WP folder is default.
- Limit characters for video description
- Limit size for video display
- Define the layout of the templates. Defaulted are lay outs we found to work best under general purposes.
- Define the time out for a running operation. Default is 90s. You would only change that if your server is finicky.
- We have preset a cron code for you. This one works for WP Tuber. If it should conflict with other plugins, you can redefine it.
Now let’s slap together a couple of quick sites about Bitcoin, Otaku, Voetbal and HR Giger to give you the idea. Bitcoin and HR Giger we do in English, Otaku in Japanese and Voetbal in Dutch. Now have a look.
Best of all: we neither speak Thai nor Dutch. Each one took us 90 seconds to populate.
Try to find anything that does the job faster. Honestly spoken there is, but it doesn’t come for free. This one does!

There is no justice! Your graphics say it sucks, but it does not suck at all. Quite the opposite. I find it amazing how quickly and easily this plugins makes my pages look new, fresh and surprisingly different every time I look at them. You really got a brilliant concept here. Glorious case of how much difference one can make with just one tiny little thing.
Even better that you give it away for free!
Thanks a lot

Congratulations on a fantastic range of plugins guys! One question about wp-tuber though. Is there a way to pull the Youtube thumb into the post as the featured image? Being able to do that would be awesome and save a lot of time when adding and scheduling video posts in bulk.
Cheers

Hi Justin
Thanks! Glad you like the freebies, wait till you see what the future holds, you’ll like that even more.
At present we automatically create thumbnails and include them within the posts for interlinking of related videos, and category listing. You can see an example of how this would look by visiting the simple demo sites listed above.
We do not provide an option to pipe these over to “featured” images. The need of, and the suitable sizes for featured images would vary widely based on the theme used, and its separate settings and therefore create some challenges for users to implement quickly. We aimed for ease of use across as large a number of sites possible when creating WP Tuber.
Full source code is provided in the plugin, so users can modify as needed for their own personal use if desired.

You guys are amazing! Giving so much of value with these plugins. I know, its first trust then everything else. I’m awaiting eagerly for your paid plugin…”Mothership”.
I can’t imagine how much valuable your paid one will be, I wish to have the beta version.
You team rocks

I’m presuming adding, and editing text content on a wp tuber post makes no difference to the rest of the post. IE. It won’t screw up wp-tuber’s work. Colin.

Hi Colin
You are correct, you can edit the text generated any post created by WP Tuber whenever desired.
