# Youtube Embed Thumbnail

 * I run [http://sweetandsour.net.au/](http://sweetandsour.net.au/). As part of 
   my website, I embed youtube videos onto the site. Up until recently, it has been
   fine. But now suddenly a problem has arrisen.
 * All the videos I have uploaded have a custom thumbnail on Youtube. This shows
   up on Youtube and on some posts on my site (like [http://sweetandsour.net.au/episode-19-monday-20th-july-2015/](http://sweetandsour.net.au/episode-19-monday-20th-july-2015/)).
   However, on new posts (Like [http://sweetandsour.net.au/episode-15-2011/](http://sweetandsour.net.au/episode-15-2011/))
   The thumbnail is not appearing, instead the youtube grey icon is there. I have
   tried Choosing a standard thumbnail on Youtube, re-embedding the video, everything
   to no success.Any ideas?
 * I am just using the default wordpress embed (i.e just pasting the URL into the
   post)
 * Despeartely seeking any advice!

 * What’s this lazy load stuff?
 *     ```
       <div class="container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube">
       <a style="display:block!important;visibility:visible!important" class="lazyload-info-icon" href="http://kevinw.de/lazy-load-videos/" title="Lazy Load for Videos by Kevin Weber" target="_blank">i</a>
       <a width="660" height="371" id="bpl-omxrH340" class="lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube css_white_pulse" href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpl-omxrH34" video-title="Sweet and Sour 2011 - Episode 15" title="Play Video "Sweet and Sour 2011 - Episode 15"" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background: rgb(0, 0, 0) url("//i2.ytimg.com/vi/bpl-omxrH34/maxresdefault.jpg") no-repeat scroll center center; height: 371px; width: 660px;"><div title="" width="660" height="371" style="height: 371px; width: 660px;" class="lazy-load-youtube-div">
       ```
   
 * When I put in a video URL, this is all my blog does:
 * `<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/MaW7f9GD1nc?
   rel=0" height="350" width="425"></iframe></p>`
 * I’d be looking at the author of this lazy load plugin for support.
