Vimeotheque – Vimeo video importer WordPress pluginWordPress Plugin

Vimeo Video Importer Plugin

Vimeotheque helps you to create video posts in your vlog, membership, online courses or any other video collection website by automatically importing public vimeo videos and creating complete wordpress video posts from them.

The video import process is fully automated and can be controlled by plugin options which allow you to choose the details that will be imported: title, content, featured image, tags and so on. Similarly, the video embed placed into the post content can be customized using the available plugin options for embedding the video.

Vimeotheque importers

With Vimeotheque, videos can be imported either individually, by providing the video URL on Vimeo or by searching or loading entire vimeo channels, categories, showcases, groups, portfolios or user uploads and choosing which videos to import.

Please note that before being able to perform any imports you need to create a Vimeo App and enter the credentials into Vimeotheque’s Settings page.
