Replace Featured Image For Video

Looking to replace the featured image with a video (or at least have an option to) and found these two plugins:

1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/replace-featured-image-with-video/ – doesn’t work (unless you add more code apparently after reading the reviews / support)

2. https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/ – this one works well although the title of the blog post is too close to the video when in main blog (see screenshot) although when viewing it as a single post it’s ok (see screenshot).

Does anyone know a fix for the 2nd plugin option OR another way, separate from this, to replace featured image with video?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Justadandak,

A CSS fix should be sufficient for this. If you’re not using a child theme, install a custom CSS editor plugin and add margin-bottom to the video container or a margin-top to the title below the video. To target just the issue in the index page and leave alone the single post page, prefix your selector with .home

If you post a link to your site I’d be able to be more specific.

I hope this helps 🙂

Really appreciate your guidance Maria, thank you.

Here’s the link to the website in question with the video in place of the featured image – would you be able to provide the correct code to add into my child theme please?

Appreciate your time and continued help on this 🙂

No problem, here it is:
```
.home .featured_video_plus.responsive {
    margin-bottom: 50px;
}
```
Now you just need to place this bit of code in style.css of your child theme and it should work. I added a 50px margin bottom, but you’re free to adjust this value to your liking.

Any problems keep posting 🙂

HUGE thanks for this Maria – really appreciate your time – I’ve changed it to 45px to match the space like in the other titles 🙂
