I want to have the youtube embed where the featured video image displays (I would turn off featured video option, put on for reference) and the thumbnails for all youtube embed posts are not generating on desktop or mobile. Please advise.

Hello !

The featured image comes from this option: https://www.screencast.com/t/Vn3LLrXi Any other options will not work.

Thank you for your understanding !

I was able to solve my issue by not using featured video link and enabling all the thumbnail sizes in block settings. Thumbnails now display for the youtube embed content on mobile and desktop when post type is “video”, without using featured video. when using featured video in this scenario it creates a double appearance stacked one on top of the other on the feed. my question now is how do I move the embedded youtube video into the grey box under the social links…https://buddhanet.world/2020/03/25/harry-styles-juice-lizzo-cover-in-the-live-lounge/

also the thumbnails will not populate with this method using the stock youtube embed, you must add WordPress plugin “Embed Plus for YouTube – Gallery, Channel, Playlist, Live Stream” and when you use this plugin to embed the video, select “video” for post type” with all thumbnails/retina enabled, everything populates properly on all pages, desktop and mobile devices 🙂

what I don’t understand is why after I make a new post with all the settings proper, I have to then go back into the post and click update 1-3 times to get the thumbnail to actually generate like it should from the first click. just reporting bugs..

Also forgot to mention the plugin is magic thumbnail generator that I just realized is actually making this happen not just the youtube plus plugin

Hi,

Using this option -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Vn3LLrXi the theme will create automatically a thumb for the featured video and this will be display on blocks, inside the articles will be display the video also the video should be display in the black space in post style 11 -> https://i.imgur.com/JPGTFzJ.png but as I can see you do not have any featured video there.
Please notice that you do not need any plugins to embed the youtube videos, just make these settings -> https://imgur.com/pjT5aTo -> https://imgur.com/AmGAwd4

If you do not made any change to theme files, make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.

Thank you for your understanding!
