Title: [Plugin: Video Thumbnails] Support for custom post types Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Video Thumbnails] Support for custom post types * Resolved [noizeburger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noizeburger/) * (@noizeburger) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/) * Hey there, * how can i add the plugin-functionality to custom post types. For my videos I use a custom post type “videos” with a custom field for the video-embed-codes and some custom taxonomy. With custom types, you can use “Featured Images”, but the “Video Thumbnails”-widget isn’t visible on the edit-page. Any help? * Thanks in advance, Harald * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-thumbnails/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-thumbnails/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Sutherland Boswell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sutherlandboswell/) * (@sutherlandboswell) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914109) * Harald, * I’ve had someone else request support custom post types, and I plan on adding it pretty soon. * As far as using a custom field goes, it might be a little bit longer (when I add support I’ll need to make sure it’s flexible enough to work with other fields people might use), but I’ll be happy to piece something together for your particular setup. * Check back or remind me after the next update and I’ll help you out! * Thread Starter [noizeburger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noizeburger/) * (@noizeburger) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914120) * Hey sutherlandboswell, * thanks for reply. Custom field support is not that important… but custom post type support. Thanks in advance * Plugin Author [Sutherland Boswell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sutherlandboswell/) * (@sutherlandboswell) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914157) * If you’d like a quick solution, you can find the line `add_meta_box("video_thumbnail"," Video Thumbnail", "video_thumbnail_admin", "post", "side", "low");` and underneath it add `add_meta_box("video_thumbnail", "Video Thumbnail", "video_thumbnail_admin"," video", "side", "low");` * I should have an update out in a few hours to take care of it for good. * Thread Starter [noizeburger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noizeburger/) * (@noizeburger) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914185) * Thank you, You’re the man. I’ll take a Look. * Plugin Author [Sutherland Boswell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sutherlandboswell/) * (@sutherlandboswell) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914196) * Version 1.6 (appearing shortly) adds support for custom post types, give it a shot and let me know how it goes! * [fuzzyBEARisHere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fuzzybearishere/) * (@fuzzybearishere) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914212) * I have just updated to version 1.6 1 hour ago, and it is displaying the viper video tags in the post excerpt. It is still correctly displaying the thumbnail image. Can we fix this please. * Here is a screenshot, as i am testing locally. * [http://awesomescreenshot.com/0707k917b](http://awesomescreenshot.com/0707k917b) * Plugin Author [Sutherland Boswell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sutherlandboswell/) * (@sutherlandboswell) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914215) * Has it always shown the tags? What version did you upgrade from? This doesn’t seem like something being caused by Video Thumbnails, as it shouldn’t be doing anything to the excerpt. * Has anything else changed recently? * Thread Starter [noizeburger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noizeburger/) * (@noizeburger) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914235) * Hey Sutherland, * for me, it’s working like a charm. Haven’t tried yet, but is there support for custom fields also? Nevermind, if not. * Thanks * Thread Starter [noizeburger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noizeburger/) * (@noizeburger) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914236) * Ok, took a try with custom fields. Not working yet. After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion, that it’s not needed – yet. I use the custom fields for all the other stuff. The editor-field is just another one to be filled… * Plugin Author [Sutherland Boswell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sutherlandboswell/) * (@sutherlandboswell) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-1914246) * Glad to hear custom post types are working for you. If you ever decide to start using custom fields for the embed codes, [send me an email](http://sutherlandboswell.com/contact/) and I’ll help you out.
