Import Only What You Want

Not every video on a channel belongs on your site. Filter Conditions let you filter YouTube imports in WordPress so a rule brings in only the items that meet your criteria.

What It Does

Filter Conditions turn a rule into a selective YouTube import that brings in a subset of a channel instead of everything. Define the conditions an item must meet, and this conditional YouTube sync evaluates each candidate before creating a post, so you import specific YouTube videos and keep both your library and your quota efficient.

Key Capabilities

• Attach conditions to any sync rule to include only matching items.
• Pull a curated subset from large channels instead of the full catalog.
• Combine with schedules so automated imports stay selective.
• Reduce wasted API quota by skipping items you do not want.

How to Use It

Open a sync rule and add one or more conditions describing the items you want. Save the rule, and only items that satisfy the conditions are imported. Items that do not match are skipped without creating posts.

Why It Matters

Large channels mix the content you want with plenty you do not. Without filtering, an import is all or nothing, which clutters your site and burns quota. Conditions give you precision, so your library reflects an editorial choice rather than a raw mirror of the channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I filter on?

Conditions evaluate item data, so you can target items by the attributes Video Sync reads from the API. Set one or several conditions per rule.

Do filtered-out items cost quota?

Filtering reduces how many posts are created, which keeps imports lean. Use the pre-sync estimate to plan large jobs.

Can I change conditions later?

Yes. Edit the rule’s conditions at any time and they apply to the next run.
