Thanks, Ravan! Here’s the resource I found that helped me figure this out.

Sorry, no luck there.

Interesting it links to the “video-thumbnail” now and then you have to click again, which is on overlay to get go to the (resized) play video. 1 too many steps! Another thing to note is that the bottom border did disappear. That helped.

I’m wondering if there is another approach I can take from here. The real goal is just to separate the video from the content that follows. For example, user would post a video and then write a bit of info about it maybe technical or inspiration for doing the film.

When the user clicks to view the video, that’s what I am using the plugin for, to focus just on the video no need for other stuff in the post like the technical info and stuff like that.

Please ignore the last part I about the “off-click” I got that to work.

Thanks again!

// here is an example of the loop

<?php
     query_posts('cat=6,7,8&showposts=3');
	if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

	<article <?php post_class('post-container') ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

		<header>
			</header>

<a class="fancybox" href="#data<?php the_ID(); ?>"><img src="<?php video_thumbnail(); ?>"width="264" height="149" /></a>

<div style="display:none"><div id="data<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php $content = get_the_content(); $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); echo $content; ?></div></div>

		<footer>
			<span class="category">Posted in <?php if (function_exists('parentless_categories')) parentless_categories(','); else the_category( ', ', 'multiple' ); ?></span>
			<?php the_tags('<span class="tags">Tagged as ', ', ', '</span>'); ?>
		</footer>
	</article>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
	<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
