I have my YT to WP setup and everything is working apart from the featured image. 

 

The Zap is pulling the image from YT but it won’t upload it as a featured image, its just uploading it to the media library. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi @ScubaDiverMag!

There are a couple of ways to do this:

Option 1

Trigger: YouTube — New Video
Action: WordPress — Upload Media
Action: WordPress — Create Post (then select the media from step 2 as your featured image)

Option 2

Trigger: YouTube — New Video
Action: WordPress — Create Post
Action: WordPress — Upload Media (then select the post from step 2 to attach your media to)

 

Have you tried doing it one of these ways?
