Just wondering what happens to all the feature videos I have set up for posts if I ever migrate to a different theme at some point in the future. Does the feature video URL get stored somewhere in the WordPress database that I could still get access to? Of course I do not expect for the featured videos to appear with whatever theme I may use in the future. So long as that featured video url is some how saved with each post and could be queried if I were to ever use a different theme.

Hi,

I believe the video URL’s used in the posts are stored in the post meta, in the database

You can make periodic backups for the database, useful is case something goes wrong
