Featured Videos are showing up twice

Hi,

I notice that the archive page that displays your videos has this behavior: https://prolacrossetalk.com/category/video/

The plugin uses a WP filter to replace the featured image. After having a look at your page source code I noticed that, for the other posts, the image is doubled, which leads me to assume that your theme calls the featured image twice which causes VideographyWP to embed the video twice.

Here’s a screenshot for the code in your page: https://prntscr.com/t4vz0l and this is the image that is actually displayed into the page: https://prntscr.com/t4vzel

The second image is hidden using CSS: https://prntscr.com/t4w09z; apparently, it is used on phones and small screen devices. The downside is that VideographyWP can’t know which featured image is used and which isn’t.

A solution would be to follow your theme’s example and hide the second video using CSS:

.mvp-blog-story-img.left.relative .cvwp-video-player:nth-child(2) {
    display: none;
}

Ok thank you for the help. Where should I place this custom CSS? I tried using a plugin “Simple Custom CSS” and pasted the above in there but I’m still seeing duplicates.

Hi,

The CSS should be placed in your theme/child theme stylesheet. If you edit your main theme stylesheet you will lose the changes when you update; a child theme solves this issue.
