# Video thumbnail issues(content.php)

 * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-thumbnail-issuescontent-php/)
 * I installed a plugin “video thumbnails” to help me automatically display the 
   thumbnail of a video when the content is a video. Reason for this is because 
   I have a list of categories on top of my page that will show the latest post 
   thumbnail in that category.
 * obviously I would like to display a thumbnail of the video post for the video
   category.
 * everything works just fine except when you go to the post itself it will show
   the video thumbnail, and the video content. I want it to just show the video 
   content when you see the post.
 * originally my content.php handling this looked like this.
 *     ```
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   
       		<header class="entry-header">  
        		<?php the_title( sprintf('<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="%s">', esc_url( get_permalink() ) ),'</a></h2>' ); ?>  
        		  <center><H3><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></H3></center>
   
        	</header>  
   
        	<div class="row">  
   
        		<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>  
   
   
        				<div class="thumbnail" style="width:100%;"><?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?></div>  
   
        				<?php the_content(); ?>  
   
   
        		<?php else: ?>  
   
   
        				<?php the_content(); ?>
   
   
        		<?php endif; ?>  
        	</div>  
   
        </article> 
       ```
   
 * I did some switching around and now it looks like this
 *     ```
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   
       		<header class="entry-header">  
        		<?php the_title( sprintf('<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="%s">', esc_url( get_permalink() ) ),'</a></h2>' ); ?>  
        		  <center><H3><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></H3></center>
   
        	</header>  
   
        	<div class="row">  
   
        		<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>  
   
   
   
   
        				<?php the_content(); ?>  
   
   
        		<?php else: ?>  
   
   
        				<div class="thumbnail" style="width:100%;"><?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?></div>  
   
   
        		<?php endif; ?>  
        	</div>  
   
        </article> 
       ```
   
 * Great! now the video content shows instead of both the thumbnail and the video.
   even the top listed categories shows just the post thumbnail like I wanted it.
 * only one issue. all the thumbnails of my non-video posts do not show.
 * how can I fix this so that if I have a video. the post will show just the video
   content
    while still showing thumbnails from non-video content posts?
 * Quick note: I fully understand I can create a Content-Video.php template and 
   when I want a video I can set it to that template and it will solve all my issues.
   However, I do not want to have to manually set it to that template. I would like
   content.php to handle all of this for me.
