re-reading my question makes it seem like the theme is using the first image/video in the post and directing the user to it.

so maybe my ‘set as featured image’ function isnt working correctly or something because they are seeing the actual video embedding rather than the video thumbnail that is generated. (i suspect its just not using the thumbnail but i want it to)

the real problem here is that the user used to goto the post to view the movie, but now the videos are all embedded and playable from the homepage screen

so i will lose advertising revenue because they can view 10 videos without clicking through the screens, whereas before they went into the specific post to view the video so i was getting ad impressions every time.

the error isnt in the slider, its below it in some what i assume is custom code to display the 2 most recent articles in 4 different categories that ive selected in the theme settings to be shown there.

so there is some screwed up code in the function that displays the category+2 posts

(at the bottom of it, it says More from _category_ but the url is incorrect so i need to replace the code somewhere…..

if a theme modifies things shown on the home page

i see code for is_home() (may be related)

what wordpress file would those be in? to change the way the homepage looks

this may be where my problem is, or at least it will let me see the functions and scripts being ran on that page so i can back track to the error
