Video not showing in header of post

Hello,

I followed the content directions to add a youtube video as a video post. It says, Video templates have the first embedded video in the header of the post:

The video is only showing up on tutorial style posts, not single videos. Some of the dummy content versions are not showing single videos either.

I’ve checked that the youtube link is the first item. I select video as post and it doesn’t effect results.

Thanks

Hello castle,

In Appearance > Customize > Video please enable automatic video header and automatic video format.

Furthermore, check if your post format (inside each post) is set on VIDEO

Hope this can help you.
All the best,

Hi guys,

I have checked the other conversations but none of the answers seems to help with my issue.

1- In the homepage, I tried to change the default video for the one I have in youtube, and it did not change it, only shows the default one. All the video settings in customise are on

2- I uploaded a post with this youtube video as an example, the image thumbnail of this video, would not show up in the carousel thumbs, and even when you click on it, the image shown is not corresponding to the video. It does play after you click play though
Post format is set to video

3- Is there a way to play the youtube video in the background always at minimun of 720HD? Or it will always depend on user connection?

The website does not have much yet as I am working on it- http://www.nomadsrtw.com

P.S for some reason it would not allow me to create a new topic

Hello nomadsrtw,
thanks for writing in. Andrea here from Themes2go Customer Support.
I can’t check your website because only admin access is allowed.

By the way, I try to answer your questions:

1) Which demo are you referring to?

2) This sounds a bit strange: did you properly set the thumbnail as featured image in the video post page?

3) Currently, Visual Composer manage the video background feature and it depends on user connection capabilities.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Andrea

Hi Andrea.

1- I am using the travel demo. What i did in editor was go to header row, clicked yes on use video background and add my youtube link there, but nothing changed

2- For this one I have a doubt- thumbnail is not automatically generated? I need to choose a feature image for the video?

3- ok then.

Hello!

1) In order to get the video background work properly, try to add the YouTube link like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYIWDsh0a6E not https://youtu.be/tYIWDsh0a6E.

2) In order to get the thumbnail automatically generated I suggest you add this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-thumbnails/. Have a look at this Vlogger video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYIWDsh0a6E&list=PLCGMXZPzCkmZk2PvcZnep0xDJCx0LpCnL&index=6

Keep me posted on that.
