New 3.5.2 WP Not Recognizing thumbnails

Same issue here. ?? Seems to work fine with other providers like Daily Motion, just not youtube videos. I tried using both the old code & iframe code. Neither worked. I have also tried using v 1.8.2 and leaving the title out of the post. Neither solutions work to resolve the issue. When manually going to the post and clicking “Search Again” to add the thumbnail I get the following. “We didn’t find a video thumbnail for this post”. Even older post which previously had thumbnail images will say the same thing if I reset them and try to find a new thumbnail.

Here is an example of the code I am posting.

<iframe width=”853″ height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/AL8ZGEyBuNs?rel=0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

I have the same issue. I also am getting the “Search Again” response and am even getting it with other posts where I previously was able to get the thumbnail image. Also, when I go to the debugging section and try it, I get the response saying no thumbnail could be found. This is the same with the new and old code.

Hopefully, the developer can look into this issue quickly as I love this plugin.

This is Youtube’s fault, they no longer include “http:” in the embed code, this may be due to prevent that “same domain” issue. This is affecting my sites, hey man give us a hand we really need your help

Andax,

That did the trick. For a temporary short term solution, just add in the http: into the one or two areas of the youtube embed code (it will have one if you use the new code and two areas if you use the old code). After doing this, the thumbnail will come up like it is supposed to do. Hopefully, the developer can go in and make this so it is done automatically, but until then, you just need to add in the http: before the url(s) //www.

Thanks for posting this andax

Yup, manually inputting the [http:] resolves the issue here too. Both old and new code.

Tks Andax

andax nailed it, YouTube is no longer including http: in their embed codes. I’ll release a fix in the next version but for now the fix is to just add it to your embed codes.

As a side note, I’d recommend using oEmbed to embed your videos. This way you just copy and paste the video’s URL into the editor!

Hey man thanks for answering, we need an update as soon as possible. Some of us have several writers so it’s a tedious work explain to each one to use a new plugin specially if it’s temporaly. Hope you can fix it anytime soon.
Best wishes

The fix should already be available in 2.0.3

I am still getting this issue with Vimeo videos. I have to manually type in the http: part in the embed code.
