1. That’s actually going to be a theme issue with featured images in general, and not something specific to our plugin here. Essentially all we do is parse the post content for a video, and if one is found, use the Youtube API to fetch, upload, and set the featured image itself. We don’t do anything with regards to touching the theme files and how it displays things.
2. Not quite following on this one. Could you explain a bit more?
1. Ok, that’s too bad. I’ll switch back to the Video Thumbnails plugin (unfortunately that one can’t overwrite the featured image, so there’s no video thumbnail displayed in archives, so that has to be solved somehow).
2. Well, there’s a video thumbnail generated only when the video is in the first 1000 words or something like that. Is it possible to have a video thumbnail when the video is at the end of a long post?
We strive to keep it as “self-contained” as possible, and rely on the site owners to handle display. From our perspective, the most important part is getting the featured image imported into the library and set for the post. Regarding archives, feels like the best thing would be to make sure the archive-based templates are set to display featured images as a whole, which may not be the case at the present moment.
For that second part, we don’t have the greatest setup at the moment for this. I’m realizing the 1000 count is wrong, and that will be fixed in the next release. It’s actually only first 800 characters. We do have filter that we run the concatenated text through, but as is, we don’t provide a way to fetch your own intended content based on ID. That’s also something that will be amended in 1.1.0
Ultimately at the moment, it’d just be a case of either directly modifying the code itself to be a higher than 800 character limit, something extravagant like a 5000+, or filtering out the concatenated total in favor of the entire value from the_content.
If you’re willing, we’d love some people testing version 1.1.0 as well, it’s available on GitHub and we can provide a download at the moment.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I am having same issue. Once the video- post is opened, it shows the thumb on top of video. Which is not good at all.
@puilu see my reply at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/overlay-a-play-button-1/#post-8671501.
If you really want, provide a link to an example and I’ll see if I can offer some quick advice for what needs to be done.
