Get Video Thumbnails when the post is scheduled

Mmm never mind, I solved:

add_action('save_post', 'save_other_video_thumbnail', 100, 1);
function save_other_video_thumbnail($post_id) {
$postdata = get_postdata($post_id);
	if ($postdata['post_status'] == 'future') {
		get_video_thumbnail($post_id);
	}
}

I realy thank you! You save me…. THANKS A LOT for this fix! ??

Hi! I had the same problem, but I wanted to get video thumbs generated when I save as draft. I use to save lots of topics as draft and after a while I edit them and schedule it, but if you don’t have the video thumbnail generated right after the first save, you are unable to know if the thumbnail is nice enough ??

So, I added a bit of code to what CristianOspina did:

add_action('save_post', 'save_other_video_thumbnail', 100, 1);
function save_other_video_thumbnail($post_id) {
    $postdata = get_postdata($post_id);
    if ( $postdata['post_status'] == 'draft' OR $postdata['post_status'] == 'future') {
        get_video_thumbnail($post_id);
    }
}

Hope this help others with similar issues.

Thanks everybody for the ideas ??

This really needs to be built-in setting in the plugin, otherwise you have to remember to edit the code every time a new update is released, which is often.

@noyz319: you don’t need to touch the plugin files. The code may be pasted at the end of your theme’s functions.php file ??

You’re right! I’ve been doing it the dumb way forever now, this is perfect. Thanks!
