Creating Video Thumbnails

    I am using the latest version of the GamePress theme. I have created a single video category and placed a single video in that category. From my main menu I have linked to that category so as to display all items within. That all appears to be working correctly, however the page shows my video with a “video thumbnail placeholder”. Where do I go to assign the image for the placeholder? I have tried assigned a featured image, but that does not work. I simply have been unable to find a setting to apply. I appreciate any help.

    You’re doing it right, the thumbnail for video is featured , there are no additional settings.

    Thank you for your reply. I have discovered that when selecting a featured image, you have the option to choose a linked image through a URL, however you cannot actually use that image in that way. Featured images apparently must be images that have been uploaded. Once I uploaded a copy of my featured image I was able to make it work as designed. If this is indeed the case, one suggestion I might have for the developer would be to remove the URL option when selecting a featured image. It a good theme and very easy to customize.

    I’ll look into it ?? If you like the theme I’d appreciate if you could give it a rating ??
