    Greetings,

    I have a youtube like wordpress website but it isn't showing any thumbnails. I am using Videocraft. I tried a couple of plugins but all in vain. Any ideas/suggestions from experts?

    1- how are videos being displayed, i.e. is the video from youtube? or you are encoding your own videos using videocraft? in that case check if thumbnail is being generated, and if it is being generated, then its correct path, most of the plugins are setup to have thumnails from a particular path on youtube.

    I am uploading my own videos. In fact, its a user based site. Users will upload their videos. Do I need to give path to these videos manually? Or any custom coding? Because once the traffic is started and people start posing videos it will give us a tough time.

    if you are uploading your own videos, dont' you think it will be a much better idea to actually have a dedicated video script in the long run?

    Theme should be using a custom field or Wordpress thumbnail function. Check the theme installation file.
