display featured image and not the video on post (format video)

Hi,

We love the feature of featured video and that it fetches the thumb…
On home page it does a nice job when setting post format to video by putting the “play” icon.

On our articles the video is part the article content and usually at the end of the article.

So is there a way we could display the featured image and not the video in the “featured image” box on single post page?

We’re using cloud custom template at this time. It’s imitation of default template. We could easily switch to default or other as our sidebar is native wordpress widgets.

But I was wondering if there was a way to force featured image box to not display the video.

Thanks

but then we lose the feature of having the image from video url ?

Hi,

No. We just want featured video function to fetch a thumb for the links to the post.

We found a trick, is to first save the post with format video as draft and having the “featured video” field set.
This fetches the featured image, then we clear the “featured video” field before publish. This way it comes out the best for us: a thumb on link to the post and no featured image on the post single page.

Is it possible that the function to fetch featured video thumb would work with tweeter videos ?

That would be nice for us.

Have a nice day
