In reply to: [Foursquare Venue] "Something went wrong!" Is displayed and an error.This change was added in with version 2.2.1, so if you experience an error please report the detailed message here.
Here’s a good guide on using TimThumb. A more advanced option is to use Post Thumbnails, but it requires a little more WordPress theme experience.
Hey there,
The theme you’re using uses a lot of custom fields that are highly specific to that theme. I’ve attached a version of the plugin that I think might work for Free WP Tube, just copy and paste the code from this version into the existing video-thumbnails.php file.
Glad I could help. Version 1.0.3 should appear soon which includes this fix, I hope you’ll rate and mark that the new version works for you!
I think I have a fix for you to try, let me know if it works.
Open the plugin in the editor and find the line
$response = wp_remote_get( $request );and change it to
$response = wp_remote_get( $request, array( 'sslverify' => false ) );I just submitted version 1.0.2 which hopefully will give a little more detailed error message, but the problem you’re having is with the way your server makes remote requests. What host are you using? They may not have external requests enabled.
It seems to work but with a little bug… It didn’t originally find a thumbnail when I first published the post but when I clicked the “Search again” button it found it. For now just try that, but I’ll work on tracking down the bug.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] [Plugin: Video Thumbnails] Overlay a play buttonI recommend using CSS to position a play button over the image, you can check out this page to see how I’m using it.

In reply to: [Foursquare Venue] "Something went wrong!" Is displayed and an error.Your site is having trouble with one of the functions in the WordPress plugin API, wp_remote_get(). If you can open the plugin editor and change this line in the plugin:
echo 'Something went wrong!';
to this:$error_string = $response->get_error_message(); echo '<div id="message" class="error"><p>' . $error_string . '</p></div>';Let me know what it tells you.
Try this
<?php if( ( $video_thumbnail = get_video_thumbnail() ) != null ) { echo "<img src='" . bloginfo('template_directory') . "/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=" . $video_thumbnail . "&w=300&h=170&zc=1' />"; } ?>If you’re having trouble with the size of the images, try using TimThumb to resize them.

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Can't get it to work for Simple Video EmbedderWorking on fixing this, I see that it doesn’t work when creating the post, but it seems to work with the “Search Again” button. Can either of you try the “Search Again” button and let me know if that works?

In reply to: [Video Thumbnails] Fancybox – Calling the Video from the ContentThis isn’t really a Video Thumbnails support question, but I think I know what you need to do.
<a class="fancybox" href="#data<?php the_ID(); ?>"><img src="<?php video_thumbnail(); ?>"width="264" height="149" /></a> <div style="display:none"><div id="data<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php $content = get_the_content(); $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); echo $content; ?></div></div>
