Featured Image from Youtube ID
-
Many WP users I’ve been in contact with are DESPERATE for this feature! This is because publishing images on one’s site that are downloaded from Youtube goes against Google’s Terms Service. It is equivalent to downloading their videos and then serving them from your own server, which is punishable. However embedding both their videos and thumbnails is completely ok. The risk in NOT doing it correctly is that they can shut down your entire Adsense account or even demote/de-list your site from Google search!
There are already WP plugs, such as Featured Video Plus, that have succeed in replacing WP’s featured image with a video, so it can’t be too hard to replace it with an image imbed. Maybe look into their coding for a clue?
So any chance you could create this functionality asap?!? We REALLY need it!!! ?? Thanks.
