featured image thumbnail not showing

Sorry for that.

In this update, I have not yet resolved that issue, but I will investigate and see what I can do.

i ended up writing my own if you want some hints

$my_post = array(
‘post_title’ => $author . “-” . wp_strip_all_tags($media_title),
‘post_content’ => $author . “-” . substr($media_title . ” ” ,0, 20) . ”
” . $link . ”
” .
$media_description,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_author’ => 1,
‘post_category’ => array(8, 39),
);
//the content is a filter name used in wordpress to pre porccess video and image embeds and tags etc
// apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $content );
// Insert the post into the database
$mypostid = wp_insert_post($my_post);
$post_link = get_permalink($mypostid);
echo “<br> $post_link and id ” .$post_link.” and ” .$mypostid . “<br>”;
// echo $media_thumbnail . “<br>”;
Generate_Featured_Image($media_thumbnail, $mypostid, $id . “.jpg”);
$sql = “INSERT INTO xxx.youtube (videoid,title,thumbnail,descript,starcount,satisticsviews,link,channelid,author,published,updated,stars)
VALUES (‘$id’, ‘$media_title’, ‘$media_thumbnail’, ‘$media_description’, ‘$count_star_rating’, ‘$media_satistics_views’ , ‘$link’ , ‘$yt_channelid’, ‘$author’, ‘$published’, ‘$updated’,’$count_star_count’)”;

$mytimestamp = $date->getTimestamp();

How do you define your custom thumbnail image? Like this? https://gist.github.com/adhershmnair/a4b1365a8a2607d9ab5847df9e2047c2

in my situation its a rss feed from youtube.. and the image is read from the rss feed. so i place it in the json.. ..
not sure what 100% the question

if you already have a post with a id and image try this

<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘single-post-thumbnail’ ); ?>
<div id=”custom-bg” style=”background-image: url(‘<?php echo $image[0]; ?>’)”>

</div>
<?php endif; ?>

i built a youtube channel scraper that posts new videos to your wordpress
it runs from a server c# project that acts like a cron job to execute webpages that scrapes youtube…
now i want to post the scraped news to twitter and any social i can.

i want to build a new ifttt system of my own

thats some background to know where im comming from

you can ignore all the mysql stuff that custom stuff to keep up with new videos from youtube channels

im over here if you wanna talk

Thank you for the patience.

Due to this pandemic, the whole of Brazil is closed and as an IT employee I am having to work twice as much. But I think I have achieved some success here (v0.2.1).
Anything do not hesitate to contact me, here or by email ([email protected]), if you prefer (sometimes I answer faster)

thanks…
where are the %thumbnail% handled in the code? where are they set? what files .. i cant seem to see where thats handled

To make the plugin compatible with the most themes (and other plugins), I adopted the use of get_the_post_thumbnail_url.

get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post->ID, 'thumbnail')
