thanks, i’ll check out the links. and i guess you’re suggesting i make a different thread on the theme forum. so i should probably delete this one to not have duplicate posts…

right on, dude-

those two suggestions are working!

many thanks,

cool-
i found the style.css in the themes/2011 folder- i can just tack your ‘fix-it’ code at the very end, after everything else, yes? (do wp updates overwrite things like that?)

and i’m happy to either, as you suggest, excise the whole line[video id="movie-id"] entirely, or if a specific name is better, and it doesn’t need to be tricky code, i can simply enter a name that relates to the file instead of “movie-id”. (you advise one over another?)

much thanks,
c

thanks for the feedback-
i tried sizing a new poster frame and still behaves 10% smaller (which i suspected, as some of the vids i’m posting i’m not resizing in the code and the poster frames are still appearing smaller).

as to the

[video id="movie-id"]

code- i have to admit i just plugged it in as-is not knowing how to customize it; i looked online but don’t see info on how to intentionally use it… does the “movie-id” part get replaced with a file name? or…

thnx again,
c

this is theme 2011, btw, in case that sheds light.

odd- as a test i set a different featured image and wp puts it in the post header as is expected, it also puts it at the beginning of the post, which looks redundant, but still- the post format ‘gallery’ remains the same undesired image as before…

i think there may be a need to ‘trick’ wp into re-selecting the image and i’m poking around to see it i discover it…

thanks Santosh.

a question that remains is- how does wp choose the thumbnail already included in the ‘gallery’ post format?

and since there’s already code in there to display a thumbnail, is adding more code the answer, or merely finding the spot where the choice is being made and enter a different file name?

btw- since i’m new to this i’m not sure where your code excerpt would go, although generally it seems it might be somewhere in the content-gallery.php?
