I am loading the latest videos from a YouTube channel to WordPress, using the YouTube API:
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 a site with tons of posts hundreds/thousands of which have YouTube videos embedded. Most use the default youtube_url format and the actual embed code is stored in the oEmbed postmeta fields.
hey guys,
when posting a youtube video link in the backend (in a post or a page) wordpress is automatically creating the embed code for me.
I use a lot of embedded videos (via oembed
) on my blog, and that can slow down page loads.
