Hi Marcin,

Yes, upPrev uses feature image. Feature image is working OK for upPrev.

On my site, some posts do not have a feature image.
But those posts have an image (a normal image). So WordPress creates a post thumbnail.

If the post has an image but does not have a featured image, I want upPrev to use the post thumbnail. (At this time it does not.)

Hmm, I want to use the post thumbnail, which is different for each post. I tried this:

add_action( 'iworks_upprev_image' , 'default_image' );
function default_image()
{
    echo '<img src="'. get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, 'thumbnail') . '" alt="" />';
}

but I think it’s not formatted correctly, because it’s not working.

Hi Marcin,

Thank you. I added this code to functions.php:

add_action( 'iworks_upprev_image' , 'default_image' );
function default_image()
{
    echo '<img src="image.png" alt="" />';
}

but still the posts that don’t have a featured image have no thumbnail in the upPrev box.

Peter

If I use filter: Filter Reference / iworks upprev get the post thumbnail, it replaces the featured image with the post thumbnail. If there is a featured image but no post thumbnail, there is no image in upPrev.

How can accomplish:
– Use featured image if there is one
– Else use post thumbnail

I see. Is there anything that can be done about that from the plugin side?

The site is not yet publicly accessible. I’ll e-mail you a link and login.

This is happening on our site as well with widescreen YouTube videos that were created yesterday. I get a square thumbnail with black bars.

Yes, very happy! Thanks Frank, this is working great. ??
It’ll be nice to see it in the next version as well.

P.S. I would also like to be able to customize place the buttons inside a custom DIV so I can control the placement on the page.

OK, can I send it to you here? https://betterwp.net/contact/

Thanks very much Frank! I’ll give it a try. ??

OK, I found one way to do this (though it won’t work on IE older than version 8)

In the Use your own element section, I put:
section.entry p:not(.xyz)

So now the text resizes section.entry p without resizing section.entry p.xyz

WP YouTube Lyte is an excellent plugin because it offers lots of customizable options and an API, it does greatly reduce load time (like this one), and it renders YouTube previews perfectly.

With WP YouTube Lyte, you have to change the URL of your embedded video, for example from http: to httpv:

But with Lazy Load for Videos, it works with your existing embedded videos.

Also Lazy Load for Videos works with Vimeo as well as YouTube.

Thanks Frank. Unfortunately I am not a programmer, so those small tweaks are beyond my abilities. Maybe someone can tell us how to do it?
