    Hello Javi,

    I have installed everything including the youtube api, everything seems fine on the back end. The plugin replaces the original featured image with the youtube video one (look at ‘homemade tank test’), BUT as you can see it’s not the actual video that can be played on click.

    Let me know if there’s way to fix this! Thank you so much

    Hi,

    This issue might be caused by the fact that your WP theme (or the way you are displaying those featured images) doesn’t use the default WP function to display the featured image. VideographyWP needs this because it hooks to a WP filter that allows it to replace the image with the video embed.

    Unfortunately, when the featured image can’t be replaced automatically, there’s not much that can be done to force it to show.

    If you can give me more details about your set-up (WP theme, how you’re displaying the images, if you’re using a visual editor, etc) I might be able to give you more details.

    Hi,

    I’m using blocksy theme, the featured image is displayed in a section template made with elementor pro.

    What confuses me is that your plugin does replace the featured image with the video thumbnail well, yet it doesn’t put the video? If the image can be replaced, why can’t the video be played / replace too…

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    The featured image isn’t replaced, it is actually imported by the plugin as featured image, this is why it works. As I mentioned before, embedding the video in place of the featured image it’s a bit trickier because it must use a filter to actually replace the entire feature image output with the video embed. This is achieved in WP by hooking to a filter; third party plugins or themes might not use it so the replacement action won’t be triggered.
