replace hqdefault with mqdefault

afraid there is code missing to make that work kentgravelle, where did you find this example?

I researched the str_replace command to see how the syntax worked. And also read on a closed support post here about someone else attempting this change.

I see. Well, the problem is that the code you provided needs to be “glued” to LYTE somehow, hooking into the API.

Something like this might work (but I did not test it, so tread with care);

add_filter('lyte_match_thumburl','lyte_mq_thumburl');
function lyte_mq_thumburl($thumb) {
    return return str_replace('hqdefault.jpg', 'mqdefault.jpg', $thumb );;
}

happy hacking! ??

There was an extra return that I removed and it worked on the thumbnails in the body of the page. The widget thumbs on the sidebar remained as hqdefault.jpg

However, the page load time did not improve to any significant amount on my tests so I removed the code.

Thanks again!
