 * I’d like to be able to replace the featured image with a video so that the course
   listing page has a playable video for each course. I’ve tried the Featured Video
   Plus plugin, but it isn’t displaying the video in place of the featured image.
   Any suggestions?

 * Hey [@david](https://wordpress.org/support/users/david/) Dumonde,
 * We don’t have a way to display videos on the course tiles on the course archives
   but you could edit the template to include a video with some custom development.
 * These are just examples, you’ll need to write the real code yourself, but this
   should get you moving in the right direction:
 * You’ll want to first remove the action that outputs the featured image:
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'lifterlms_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'lifterlms_template_loop_course_thumbnail', 10 );
       ```
   
 * Then create a new action to replace it:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'lifterlms_before_shop_loop_item_title', function() {
       echo '<iframe src="http://whatever.com"></iframe>';
       }, 10 );
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps!
