# Video thumbnails plugin

 * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-thumbnails-plugin-2/)
 * I downloaded Video thumbnails plugin which…every time I embed a video it will
   automatically generate a video thumbnail as my “featured image”
 * The whole reason I needed this is because I have a top row list below my nav 
   that shows all the categories as the latest post thumbnail.
 * the plugin worked. I can now have a thumbnail of the latest video post instead
   of attempting to awkwardly show the video content which makes things seem ugly.
 * One problem with this plugin. when you go to the post itself… it shows the video
   thumbnail, and the embedded video at the same time like
 * post-title
    video-thumbnail embedded video
 * when I go to the post… the plugin shows a featured image with the thumbnail, 
   and a video thumbnail.
 * I want it so when I actually go to the post or see the post…I only see the embedded
   video and not the thumbnail. I cant seem to figure out how to do this.
 * I tried messing with the files content.php ….
 *     ```
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   
       		<header class="entry-header">  
        		<?php the_title( sprintf('<h1 class="entry-title"><a href="%s">', esc_url( get_permalink() ) ),'</a></h1>' ); ?>  
   
        	</header>  
   
        	<div class="row">  
   
        		<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>  
   
        			<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4">  
        				<div class="thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail('small'); ?></div>  
        			</div>  
        			<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-8">  
        				<?php the_content(); ?>  
        			</div>  
   
        		<?php else: ?>  
   
        			<div class="col-xs-12">  
        				<?php the_content(); ?>
        			</div>  
   
        		<?php endif; ?>  
        	</div>  
   
        </article> 
       ```
   
 * and
    content-featured.php …
 *     ```
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   
       		<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
   
       			<div class="thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail('small'); ?></div>
   
       		<?php endif; ?>  
   
       	<?php the_category(); ?>
   
       </article>
       ```
   
 * I somehow feel these files are totally conflicting with what im trying to do.
 * any ideas?

 * The developers and users of that plugin would be the best people to ask. You
