Separate folder for Locally Cached thumbnails

  • Hi, is there any way to save the video thumbnails in a separate folder and then serve that thumbnail, instead of using a dynamic URL like – ” /wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVnZhgrwerC4%2Fhqdefault.jpg “.

    So it will be like ” /wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lytethumb/cat.jpg ”

    I am asking for this because I am using a static wordpress site that is hosted on GitHub, so no backend for me.

    no, that is not possible I’m afraid; lyteCache.php is needed as it checks if the thumbnail is there already and fetches/ caches it if not and it will refresh the thumbnail regularly. conclusion; on an entirely static site you’ll have to disable “cache thumbnails locally”.

    hope this clarifies,

    the problem is that when I disable the cache locally option, the page becomes very slow due to the youtubecookie URL.
