Thumbnails pulling from YouTube links

    Hey, great plugin – thank you! The only issue I’m running into is quite strange. When I enable thumbnails, it will only display thumbnails where the post has a link to a youtube video within the post.

    This means that on a list of 10 posts, it might only show thumbnails for one or two, depending on if a youtube video was linked to in the post. Not embeded, but just linked to.

    I am currently using the custom field ‘thumbnail’ to handle all post images on the site – it’d be great to figure out how to call this custom field for thumbnail displays 🙂

    This is really strange. The plugin checks if there’s any available thumbnail for the post (featured image), and if it doesn’t find any, it checks if there’s any youtube video to get the video’s thumbnail. I still have to improve this, but it’s still strange that if you have thumbnails available it should show them when you use that option.

    Check these links to make sure you’re using WordPress’ featured image:

    Ah, so I think it’s because we just use a custom field ‘thumbnail’ rather than the wordpress featured image option. It would be great to eventually be able to select where the thumbnail source is, whether that’s the custom field or default wordpress featured img

    Thanks for the reply and support!

    Yep, that’s it. I may be implementing this in the future, but it’s pretty specific. I’ll update this thread if I do.

    Thanks!
