Hi,
we’re trying to use the post format video for some posts we’re using viedos within.
Unfortunately, the blog post grid doesn’t show the video as thumnail. It just shows nothing.We’ve tryed a embedded video via Iframe and via enfold video element but with same result, the thumbail is still missing.
hope you can help us out with that.
Thanks in advance,
SebastianHey emilconsor,
Thank you for your patience the thumbnails are the featured images and videos can’t be uploaded as featured images so please include your video thumbnails as your featured images in your blog posts then they will show in the blog element.Best regards,
MikeHi Mike,
thanks for your reply.
I kinda remeber that it should work like this. The first embedded Video in the post is used as thumbnail and featured image. Am I wrong? I thought it’s a standard wordpress feature.
The problem is, if we’re using the normal thumbnail image upload, the image gets also displayed within the post as featured image, and we don’t want this to happen, because the video within the post has the same thumbnail. So it would be shown twice and we don’t want that.
Is there a way to get this to work like I described above?
Thanks so far,
SebastianHi,
Thanks for the feedback, I looked into this further and I didn’t find this specifically mentioned in WP Post Formats but I did find this article describing the first video being used as the featured image. But when I test on a new install with the default theme Twenty Twenty-One it doesn’t work, yet with Twenty Nineteen it does work. So it’s not clear if this is a default feature, but my research finds this is not a feature in the Enfold elements, so I will submit this to the dev team for review as a feature request and recommend for now that you add your featured image to your posts and use the Layout ▸ Featured Image option on the post to disable the image from showing along with your video.
Best regards,
Mike
