There are some inconsistencies here…

Twitter Tools Options Page is asking for:

2. Copy and paste your consumer key and consumer secret into the fields below

1. Twitter Consumer Key
2. Twitter Consumer Secret

3. Copy and paste your Access Token and Access Token Secret into the fields below

On the right hand side of your application page, click on ‘My Access Token’.

1. Access Token
2. Access Token Secret

But on the Twitter Application page, only these exist:

1. Consumer key
2. Consumer secret
3. Request token URL
4. Access token URL
5. Authorize URL

Are they YouTube videos or videos you upload to your media folder?

How would that work if it is two different ads?

Now it makes sense. Thank you very much for walking me through this!

Hey that worked!

But why?

It is displaying the banners but how it displays is in this order:

1. 1st post excerpt
2. banner 1
3. banner 2
4. 2nd post excerpt
5. 3rd post excerpt

*Installing plugin* should be *Uninstalling plugin* unless you guys give us a way to get rid of that info button!

hmm, what’s the difference between the two then?

Kind of solved.

I added add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); to the functions.php file. This video tutorial was the best I’ve ever seen and should be watched, he makes it very easy.

THEN…

1. I used YouTube Thumbnailer to dig up the thumbnails from YouTube. This plugin will automatically create a custom field on every post that has a YouTube video EMBEDDED.

2. Then I found out that the thumbnail (now called “featured image” in WP 3.0) does not work with images from URL nor does it seem to work with that custom field “thumbnail” created by YouTube Thumbnailer.

3. So I went to the link generated by YouTube Thumbnailer, downloaded the small thumbnail, and went back to the “edit post” page and entered it as a featured image.

4. Now the YouTube thumbnail works on the main index page AND the posts with regular images have thumbnails as well, thanks to the News Magazine 640 theme.

NOTE: if you notice the link that the YouTube thumbnailer plugin gives you ends in “default.jpg” you can change default to 1 or 2 or 3 to find two other choices for thumbnails if the first one isn’t what you want.

ANOTHER NOTE: it really sucks that this cannot be done automatically, because those of us with themes that are dense with YouTube videos, will have to go through and manually add the thumbnails to YouTube only posts. This doesn’t make sense.

Weird side note: interstingly, i tried to do this without adding the <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> to the index.php and it still worked. So this theme must have something that allows the thumbnails to work. Funny though that the latest update didn’t have the add_theme_support in the functions.php

Gripe note: this is way tooo tedious. Can someone please tell me a better way to solve this?

Well, you got a free click to your blog post, but it didn’t solve my issue. This is something to do with this specific theme. I’m begging someone to please help =*(

Hi guys, in desperate need of help with thumbnails.

How to get youtube video thumbnails to work? with the thumbnail system?

I used Youtube Thumbnailer https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/youtube-thumbnailer/ and it seems to work great. It puts a link to the thumbnail image as a custom field with the label “thumbnail”.

The only problem is that the theme isn’t picking up on the “thumbnail” part and doesn’t pull the info from the posts’ custom field.

Please help.

Thanks! Looks like a cool plugin. I’d still like to know the method of accomplishing this through hacking the core files. I’ve already customized the login/registration page a lot but all I need now is a new URL to access it.

Can someone please give some direction?

Just an update: the plugin is showing on the home-page and all other places (ie: pages, tags, categories, search, etc) but not on post pages.

=(

studiograsshopper… Changing the “restrict scripts” to other did not fix this issue. The DCG still refuses to appear on other pages.
