INFO:

In order to display a thumbnail for video posts in the slider, the previous / next post links and related post links at the bottom of each single blog post and the popular posts widget, you need to additionally upload a featured image on the right hand side.

A useful plugin that automatically creates those thumbnail images for you is the Video Thumbnails plugin.

This is how you install and use this plugin:

  1. Go to Plugins > Add New. In the top right corner enter “Video Thumbnails” into the search field. Now in the search results look for the “Video Thumbnails” plugin and click Install Now. Once the plugin is installed, click Activate.
  2. Go to Settings > Video Thumbnails.
    In the General Tab, check the “Save Thumbnails to Media Libray” checkbox and the “Automatically Set Featured Image” checkbox.





    Check the “Post Types > post” checkbox


    Into the field “Custom Field”, enter “redsun_videourl”.


    Click Save Changes.
  3. Now when you create a new video post, a featured image will automatically be set. For existing video posts, go to Settings > Video Thumbnails > Mass Action and click Scan Past Posts.
