    Hi – I was using this plugin happily in WordPress 3.7 but since the upgrade to 3.8, it has stopped working. At least it’s not working for me. I’ve tried to embed this video but to noavail – the video thumbnail is not found and I just get an empty media file added to my Media Library

    I’ve used the plugin happily with other videos in 3.7. this plugin replaced some rather horrible bespoke code I had so I’d love it to be working again!

    I always use the full iframe embed code, but that’s not the problem here as I’ve tried other methods
    <iframe width=”640″ height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/B15v5IEoRSM” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Anyone else seeing this?

  • Your thread prompted me to test this on a few sites that I’m managing. They’re all on 3.8. They all seem to be working just fine.

    I’m guessing you might have another plugin installed that’s inadvertently preventing video thumbnails data from being saved or it’s causing PHP to poop out before video thumbnails gets a chance to even fire.

    Enable debugging and see if that turns up anything.

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
    define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
    define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

    I did some experiments on this on some stock sites, using default twentythirteen and twentyfourteen themes, and it works.

    If I use my custom theme, it works.

    So then I started slowly but surely adding plugins on the stock site. And it all worked until I got to the “Insert PHP” plugin. Suddenly Video Thumbnails completely stops working – it just won’t find the thumbnail images. Disable the plugin, and Video Thumbnails is fine again.

    So clearly that plugin’s getting in the way for goodness knows what reason. All it does is allow you to put in a shortcode [insert_php] to wrap around some PHP. Strangely the two worked happily in 3.7, but I guess I’m going to have to try some other PHP plugins instead.
