    Hi, I have about 100 videos on Vimeo that I want to import to my site as Video-posts

    Is there a way to add the info to a csv-file and import, so that I don't need to manually create every single video-post? I mainly want to import Title, Video-link (Video Embedder) and Video Categories

    Is this possible out of the box or do I need a third party import/export plugin?

    Thanks! /David

    Hi David,

    I recommend that you using Essential Grid's Vimeo Stream feature instead of the video-post template as its not possible to import a csv.

    More info here: https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/special-content-streams/#vimeo

    Hi Maxime, thanks for the quick reply! 

    Though since I need each video to be a separate post I found a solution via https://vimeotheque.com/ The plugin allows me to import all my videos as separate posts

    And when I import the videos from Vimeo I can add a function that adds the Vimeo Video URL as a custom field, which I then can call on from my Elementor Template, so all good in the hood :)

    I've added a screenshot in case someone else is in need of the same solution

    Take care! /David
