      Hi, I’m loving the plugin, thanks so much! I am using it to make posts from YouTube videos, and I am having trouble getting the youtube URL saved into a custom field. This is what I’ve entered in the “Post Custom Fields” section: youtube_url => %%item_url%%

      It creates a custom field called youtube_url, but the value saved is %%item_url%%, not the actual Youtube video URL.

      I tried some different variables and none of them worked. See images.

      Hello,

      I am glad to hear that you like the plugin!

      Please use the below text in the “Post Custom Fields” settings field, it will correctly add the video URL in the custom field:

      youtube_url => %%video_url%%

      Also, please be sure to use the latest version of the plugin when testing, v1.5.0

      Let me know if it worked.

      Regards,
      Szabi – CodeRevolution.

      Hi I have already done that, but I tried again and it still did not work. See images.
