Yes, this is interesting, the file on my server had “1001” but the new download of the child theme packaged with the 4.9 version had “11”. Changing it to 11 fixed the issue.

After making that change, should that file be saved in the child theme?

I wanted to say thank you for this. It was driving me crazy and the answer was so simple.

No that didn’t work. I still get a blank thumbnail for the video image.

Yes, if I add another video, the video image does not get generated. It appears the video image only gets generated in the beginning, on post creation, not when you edit or update the post later.

Does that make sense?

I would like to point out that on the PLUGINS TAB, the “Tested Plugin” is listed as WordPress SEO and not Yoast. It may be confusing for some…

Jetpack – plugin with lots of features *it may slow down your site
WooCommerce – eCommerce solution
WordPress SEO – SEO plugin
Wp User Avatar

I too would like to see a black version of newsmag!

Is there a certain plugin that you would recommend for this instead of editing the files?

I took this to mean that any “hand-holding” support would end in 6 months meaning you can’t get a personalized answer to your issues in the form of an email or phone call.

Don’t forget not every developer has a forum or even communicates that well unlike TagDiv where the supplemental support has really been fantastic. (A major reason why I chose this theme.)

I have themes that I purchased 5 years ago and I am still entitled to the updates, as it should be.(and I commend those developers for even continuing updates since the web is a much different place than it was 5 years ago.

TL;DR Even if support ends you still have access to theme updates.

Seems pretty simple, actually. I will give it a go this week.

I agree, looks like they made some significant fixes.
