# Featured image help please.

 * Great plugin! Thank you!
 * This works great in a single blog post without a shortcode, which is what I need.
   My issue is that I am using a Pinterest type theme and the video image does not
   show up on the blog/home page because it is not a featured image. How could I
   go about doing this? I have written to the theme developer also but not sure 
   who to ask, you or them? 🙂
 * I can add a featured image along with the video but then I get a generic type
   image on the front/blog page ([http://www.nerium.me/](http://www.nerium.me/) –
   scroll down) and the single post page looks stupid ([http://www.nerium.me/nerium-business-opportunity/#arve-load-video](http://www.nerium.me/nerium-business-opportunity/#arve-load-video))
   with both a featured image at the top and the video image below. I’d prefer to
   use the video image automatically on both.
 * Anyway, you can help?
 * Appreciate it & thank you for your help.
    Brent

 * There is a plugin that does exactly what you try to do [http://wordpress.org/plugins/video-thumbnails/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/video-thumbnails/)(
   I used some code from it).
 * You could try if this works together with ARVE and report back.

 * Hi Nico thanks for the help!
 * So the plugin you suggested works alright for adding the featured image that 
   now shows on the blog page but I have two issues.
 * 1) On the blog page I now see the link for the video that doesn’t display on 
   the first line of the excerpt: [http://youtu.be/SVuntolBzG0?rel=0](http://youtu.be/SVuntolBzG0?rel=0)
 * See here: [http://www.nerium.me/](http://www.nerium.me/) … scroll towards bottom,
   look for Nerium Esthetician Endorsements.
 * If I try to use CSS = .featured-image{display:none;} then I will lose all featured
   images on posts… not good.
 * 2) Now on the single post page I see both the featured image and the video… also
   not good.
 * See here: [http://www.nerium.me/nerium-esthetician-endorsements/](http://www.nerium.me/nerium-esthetician-endorsements/)
 * I believe I need a snippet to add to functions.php that says something like this:
   
   if .arve-wrapper exist on the single post page then don’t display .featured-image
 * AND ALSO…
 * how do we get rid of the link for the video that displays on the blog page?
    
   I tried using the following CSS = .blog .entry-content p:first-line {display:
   none;} and that didn’t work, but even if it did, then I will lose the first line
   of each article.. again no good.
 * So how can I go about this? Any ideas?
 * I really appreciate your help!
    Thank you! Brent

 * Sorry but this specific questions are to much that are a mix of having to do 
   with your theme, WordPress maybe the other plugin and I think not this one but
   I may.
 * I have no time for figuring out peoples problems like this on a free plugin. 
   I am working hard on my own project and actually thinking of telling the wordpress.
   org guys to shut this forum down because the pressure I feel having to answer
   every topic here is getting on my nerves right now.
 * The plugin I suggested seems to do what you asked in the first place so I am 
   making this as resolved now. Please hire a freelancer or invest some of you own
   time on this specific problems like this.
 * Thanks.

 * FYI: or anyone else with the same type of issue use:
    The Responsive Video Light
   Plugin + The Video Thumbnails Plugin = GREAT!
 * Thanks Nico, have a great day!
