Recently Facebook opened up Instant Articles to everyone and unfortunately this introduced an issue with Newsmag.
Let me try to explain. When you insert a YouTube video into a post WordPress itself takes care of converting a YouTube link within the content into the necessary embed code for YouTube videos. When this is done, the Instant Articles for WP plugin automatically inserts that video into the Facebook Instant Article. This is because the plugin automatically generates the necessary Instant Articles markup with the <figure class=”op-social”>.
However, when you use a video as a featured video this isn’t the case because the Instant Articles for WP plugin can’t generate the markup because it can’t find the YouTube embed code generated by WordPress.
Is there a way I can solve this issue?
Hi
When a video is set as featured video the theme make its own embed and the iframe is generated in td_video_support.php file: http://screencast.com/t/qTvDk0UJ so any modifications of the featured video must be done there.
Also we didn’t tested Instant Articles for WP plugin with the theme and we’re not aware of its functionality in order to provide an answer.
Thanks!
