I have never been happier to receive an email! YES it worked!!! I have one red x saying it can’t find the thumbnail, but when I go to the posts it is there… I can now move on to the things that were not working without thumbnails. I almost went back to hand coding each video so this is awesome!! Thank you so much!

Code is poetry… in the right hands!

Hi I have been struggling with this for hours. I found two “names” for my custom field:

In the source code it is name=”_tern_wp_youtube_video”
on the form it is Youtube ID:

I put the following code below and no thumbnails were found.

// Gets the post’s content
//my change
$video_key = ‘_tern_wp_youtube_video’;
$markup = get_post_meta($post_id, $video_key, true);
$new_thumbnail = null;

I added some code from another of your posts to clear the database and then removed it again when it did not work.

delete_post_meta($post_id, ‘_video_thumbnail’);

At one point I had your plugin installed and re-wrote all of my posts to have the URLs readable by your plugin but then I found a great plugin that will pull my Youtube Videos and post them for me using just the ID and puts the ID in a custom field.

I even at one point tried to get some code to fix the short URL ID but I am over my head. I am good with HTML and CSS… PHP I can only ocasionally add some text to something that is echo’ed. I don’t know the syntax.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Wow @diogo15 I will take a look at that. That is exactly what I am looking for. There is no need for a visitor to see an admin’s quick post widget, and there is no need for an admin to see visitor quick post contribution.

Thanks!

Is it possible to have different settings for different user levels? It seems like a waste of possibilities if you can only do it for one level.

Well I did get it to work using Kahi WP Lite which let me specify a user level. It seems excessive but it works. I think your plugin would be PERFECT if you could put up different widgets and choose which user would see which widget depending on their user level.

This way a subscriber might see a widget to post to a particular category, and admin would see a widget that lets them post from the front end, etc.

I would pay for that!

I tried your hack because that is what I want, and THANK YOU for your quick response. Unfortunately the widget still does not show up for a basic subscriber. Is there another line in the code that tells it when to show?

I will try the plugin you suggested until I hear back…
