Only use featured image for Video post format please

Hello,

It probably is possible. How are posts marked as video format?
Are you talking about post formats? Do you use a category?

Let me know

Hi,

This is possible. I just never saw post formats in the wild before. So I wanted to double check.

Create the following file: wp-content/plugins/dfi-post-format-video.php
Add the following code inside:

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Default Featured Image - Video format
 * Plugin URI:  https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-use-featured-image-for-video-post-format-please/
 * Version:     1.0
 */

add_filter( 'dfi_thumbnail_id', 'dfi_postformats', 10, 2 );
function dfi_postformats( $dfi_id, $post_id ) {

	if ( has_post_format( 'video', $post_id ) ) {
		return $dfi_id; // DFI set in the media settings for videos.
	}

	return 0; // ignore all others.
}

And activate the newly created plugin.
I have not tested this. Let me know how it goes.

Yes, you do need the official DFI plugin, this is an add on.

Yes it can:

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Default Featured Image - Video format
 * Plugin URI:  https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-use-featured-image-for-video-post-format-please/
 * Version:     1.0
 */

add_filter( 'dfi_thumbnail_id', 'dfi_postformats', 10, 2 );
function dfi_postformats( $dfi_id, $post_id ) {

	if ( has_post_format( 'video', $post_id ) ) {
		return $dfi_id; // DFI set in the media settings for videos.
	}

	if ( has_post_format( 'audio', $post_id ) ) {
		return $dfi_id; // DFI set in the media settings for videos.
	}

	return 0; // ignore all others.
}

Is you compare it’s just a duplication of the if statement. but with audio.
