Assign Any Taxonomy Term Automatically

An imported video is only useful if people can find it. Taxonomy Assignment lets you assign taxonomies to imported YouTube videos automatically, filing every synced item into the right place the moment it lands.

What It Does

Taxonomy Assignment attaches synced videos, playlists, and channels to the categories, tags, or YouTube custom taxonomy terms you choose, automatically, as part of the sync. It can categorize YouTube videos in WordPress and auto-tag synced videos, so your library arrives organized instead of as a flat, unsorted pile of posts.

Key Capabilities

• Assign synced items to categories, tags, or any registered custom taxonomy.
• Set term assignment per sync rule, so different channels file content differently.
• Build browsable archives that work with your theme’s existing templates.
• Pair with multiple channels to keep each client’s content cleanly separated.

How to Use It

In a sync rule, choose the taxonomy and the term or terms that imported items should receive. Save the rule, and every item that rule imports is assigned automatically. Existing posts can be refreshed with an update action if your terms change later.

Why It Matters

Manual sorting does not scale. Once you are importing dozens or hundreds of videos, hand-filing each one is the bottleneck. Automatic taxonomy assignment turns a raw import into a structured, navigable library, which is the difference between a dumping ground and a real content section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it support custom taxonomies?

Yes. Any taxonomy registered on your destination post type is available, alongside core categories and tags.

Can different channels assign different terms?

Yes. Term assignment is set per sync rule, so each channel can file its content independently.

Can I retag content I already imported?

Yes. Use an update action to refresh existing posts after you change a rule’s term assignment.
