I found 2 problems concerning video, one is in the blog list and the other one depends on settings in blog list.

– I create a video post, then I put video in my new article (i tried many ways and the problem still remain), but video does not appear in the blog list.

– I’ve installed “video-thumbnails” plugin and it’s create thumb of the video to show in the blog list but once I open the article it shows me the video item and also the thumnail (feature) image.

So, is there a way to show video in blog list OR to hide feature image if a video is present in article? Also via code.

Thanks again guys,
cheers

    Hi Max

    You can disable the featured image on the single post page by going to Appearance > Customize > Theme Settings > Blog > Featured Image, hopefully, that helps.

    Page: Blog

    There, however, isn’t a way to conditionally remove the single post featured conditionally from within theme settings, that would require custom development.

    Hi Andrew, I cant disable featured images, is there a way to show the video also in the blog list?

    Hi guys sorry,
    is there a way to show videos in the blog list?

  7. Andrew Misplon Staff 9 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry, I’m not following. Is the setting to disable Featured Images on single posts not working? We’d need to investigate if that’s the problem.

    To show videos in the blog list you could try adding the video to the top of the post content.

    Hi Andrew,
    oh no featured image on single post is working, what it doesn’t work is the video in BlogList.

    I tried everything: video at the top of the content (also via text to be sure video link it was the first thing), embedding iframe, widget, single link but nothing.

    What can I do? Does Vantage theme allow to have videos in blog list?

  9. Andrew Misplon Staff 9 years, 5 months ago

    Here is how I would do this:

    1. Install and activate: https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-thumbnails/.
    2. Go to AppearanceCustomizeTheme SettingsBlog. Set the Blog Archive Content to Excerpt and disable the Featured Image setting below that.
    3. Scan your posts from ToolsBulk Video Thumbs. That setting works for me. The final result is my featured images are automatically created from the video in the post and there is no featured image on the single post page. The video, however, is only playable on the single post page.

    If you want the video playable on the blog/archive page then you don’t need the above plugin. Go To AppearanceCustomizeTheme SettingsBlog and set Blog Archive Content to Full Post. Then, insert your video at the top of your post content and it will appear in the blog archive page.

    Hi Andrew and thank you very much for your support.
    I tried all the solutions you’ve mentioned above already and the best one seems to be using the plugin “video-thumbnails” but in this case a must set a feataured image for BLOG-LIST and so this image will appears also in the single blog post.

    Solutions:
    A blog post is not something little significance as a facebook or twitter post, it’s something that requires time to write and it is keep considering via search engine even after years, so I prepared a Photoshop project for every new post on my blog which containing videos. This because I wanna show a different featured image from the video thumnail. More customized, more professional.

    Thanks at the moment, for support! :)
