    I have the filter setup on this page:

    https://kabukistrength.com/kms-library/

    (login using admin credentials provided above to access it)

    As you can see, the post type I am using is “video” and shows a previous thumbnail of the video in the post. I would like to be able to include this thumbnail in the search results…is this possible?

    Hi!

    Thank you for the details, I’ve looked up the issue via the back-end.

    The problem is, that those thumbnails are not actually images, but the videos itself – therefore the plugin is not able to find any related image. However, the video link is stored within the ‘qodef_post_video_link_meta’ custom field, and it might be possible to link to the original youtube thumbnail based on the video key.

    I’ve put together a custom code, that parses the video key based on the youtube URL, and links to the youtube thumbnail. Place it to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory (only copy from line 3):

    IMPORTANT: Make sure to have a full site back-up before you make direct changes in your theme files. Also, I highly recommend using an FTP client to make the changes. The built in WordPress file editor will malfunction if a syntax error is found in the code.

    Le me know if you need help with this.
