Create Video Post

By integrating WordPress with Doodstream via WPDoods plugin, you will have the ability to fetch video info and create a WordPress video post based on the data, all in the same page.

WPDoods creates a Video custom post type to host all of your video posts upon plugin activation. So you will see a new menu called Videos, where every post creation will be under this custom post type.

Once you’ve successfully fetched a video data from Doodstream on the WPDoods’ Grab Video page, you will see the following:

All your video data is presented in a nice format. The video post creation form is also pre-filled with the fetched data. You can adjust the following fields:

  • Post Title: By default, this field is filled with the original video title. You can adjust it to make it nicer and catchy to be much more readable to your audience.
  • Post Status: Choose either Draft or Publish from the dropdown.
  • Category: The WPDoods’ Videos custom post type will have the same category as default WordPress Posts. So select the category you want to assign the post to.
  • Content: By default, this textarea field will include the video title as part of the content. You can adjust it with creating an article about your video. Short description will also work.

After filling the post creation form, just click the red Create Video Post button. WPDoods will handle the post creation instantly. After complete, an admin notice will appear so that you can View or Edit the post you just created.
