The featured video thumbnail from a video post is not showing on our home page (http://lance.evangelvalormedia.com/), just a blank video box (the Sports Update post). The post itself shows fine and is set to “video” post format. The URL is pasted into the “featured video” field. I seem to not understand the notice about using it with only the post templates- default, post style 1, 2, etc. The only post template selections in the post settings window are “from panel” and “default”, neither of which work.
Hello,
It seems the thumb is showing https://i.imgur.com/DNZc5m8.png
Did you mean something else?
Thank you!
I found a solution, which the image shows. For others that might have the same issue – the featured video thumbnail requires you to use a prebuilt template for the content area of posts. This is explained in the documentation. However, after adding a template, my post thumbnail still was not working. I removed the featured video, updated the page, added back the featured video, updated again, and it worked. Seems the featured video won’t pull a thumbnail unless you add it after applying a template.
Hello,
I’m glad that you solve it.
Have a great day!
