Podcast Importer Pro

Podcast Importer Pro is the paid edition of Podcast Importer SecondLine. It imports podcast episodes from RSS feeds into regular WordPress posts or an existing custom post type. Set up separate imports for various shows, each with its own destination and schedule.

Fit episodes to your WordPress structure

Choose any Custom Post Type or Custom Taxonomy as an import destination. Feed categories and tags can also be imported. Transcripts are imported when they are included in the RSS feed.

The extension can save audio players in custom fields and automatically import native or embedded players from supported podcast hosting providers. These include Buzzsprout, Megaphone, Pinecast, Captivate, Transistor, Spotify for Creators, Simplecast, Podbean, Whooshkaa, Omny, Ausha, Spreaker, Beamly, Audioboom, Fireside, and Libsyn, among others. You can also apply one global featured image to imported episodes.

Schedule imports and update episodes

Create unlimited scheduled imports for podcasts or shows, with specific intervals or times for individual feeds. Continuous importing can add future episodes to WordPress. Use the manual Sync button for an on-demand update, or force a re-sync of existing episodes to refresh their metadata.

Delete an import entry to disable its schedule. The importer avoids creating the same post twice, so you can execute it again when needed. Large feeds, especially when importing featured pictures, may take several runs to complete.

Set up a podcast import

In the WordPress dashboard, open Tools > Podcast Importer SecondLine and create a new import. Enter the podcast RSS feed, then select the destination content type, taxonomy, categories, featured image behavior, and other import options. Enable continuous importing before running the import if future episodes should be added automatically.

After the initial import, review the episodes and use manual Sync when you need an immediate update. Configure each feed separately to give different shows their own schedules and destination structures.
