I am building a wordpress site related to a rare disease that I have. On one page, I am listing a number of videos related to the disease. In total, there are 34 videos. I have the videos embedded into the page and I’m using the and tags to hide the videos until the user clicks the summary link. The issue I’m having is that the videos often don’t load, even after clicking the summary link. I’m new to wordpress and not sure if this is a wordpress issue or if it’s caused because there’s so many videos…or both. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be and how I might fix it? Thanks.
If I create a post that has an embedded YouTube video in it (so all I do is paste the YouTube URL into the post and let WordPress automatically embed it for me), is there a way to have the thumbnail image of the video set as the post’s featured image?
I have checked and read lot of post about one single issue that is far more complicated than it seems.
I am looking to embed videos from websites that do not offer oembed support, but the reference offered on wp codex about wp_embed_register_handler() is just too broad for someone like me.
