I’ve tested it out and can recreate the problem, so I’ll try to release a fix tomorrow!
It looks like the developer of WP YouTube Lyte has the shortcode only enabled on non-admin pages, which means Video Thumbnails is unable to detect it. I’ve requested he make a change in this thread.
Thank you! Will you update this thread if you get a (positive) feedback?
Yeah, I’ll post any updates. If you want a temporary fix, you can use their httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY link format (notice the “v” added to http) and it should have no problems detecting it.
Thank you! I would prefer a WP YouTube Lyte change, so I don’t have to update all my existing articles 🙂 So I hold my feet still for a few days and then see what happens.
If you’re up for modifying your theme’s functions.php file, you can add the following to add support for the shortcode:
if (is_admin() && function_exists("shortcode_lyte")) {
add_shortcode("lyte", "shortcode_lyte");
}
This will enable the shortcode in the admin area, something I’ve requested the developer do in a future update.
That works! Awesome support. Thank you C
