Josh Hall you have my thanks and my subscription. Your choice to put (No Plugin Required) in the title description drew my attention and helped me a lot. Much thanks. Keep up the good work.
So yeah, format option definitely not there anymore in 5.4.2. I can bring up the options tab (looks different) using the 3 dots icon on top right, but no option for format anymore... Not sure how to do it now.
Hi Josh, we tried this procedure of yours however we cannot see the screen option where we can choose any format we want. May we know what is missing on our part? We are also using WordPress.
Hi, liked your video. However, I didn't find any Format under Screen Options. I'm using WordPress v5.8.1 and Hello as my theme. Any idea why it's not showing? Thanks
It works for the general posts display but it displays the two images i.e thumbnail and featured image for the individual blog post. How can I correct that, please?
Hi Josh i have a question regards to using video as featured image, currently i'm creating a custom theme template for WP however i'm using get_the_post_thumbnail_url() to fetch the image however there is no avail, do you know an alternative code method for this? thank you
Those of you not getting the post format option in new editor...add /* -----Add support for custom post formats ----*/ add_theme_support('post-formats', array( 'aside', 'chat', 'gallery', 'image', 'link', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio')); at the end of your theme's functions.php file
So, using the latest version of WP, I'm able to do this using the default editor only (in the right sidebar, with Status and Visibility toggled, a dropdown menu for Post Format appears directly under Publish). Is there anyway to be able to do this while using the Divi Builder for posts, or am I limited to the default editor only?
Hi Josh! I was not able to see the screen option tab in the new "post" page. I wish I can share a picture to show you what I'm talking about. I see that you created this video 2yrs ago so I wonder if the new WP updates have changed that. I'm using Beaver Builder but WP Edit to create new posts. Please let me know if you've figured the new version out. Thank you!
I'm having trouble, how do i make it so that the featured image only shows up on the "Posts" page and not show up on the actual article when you open it? I just want the image on the article title when scrolling through different posts. I don't want the featured image in the article itself. can someone help me?
Thanks for posting! I'm having an issue though where instead of keeping my video the same size as the rest of my featured images, it displays at full width, and there are some reason I need to use the divi builder to keep consistent with my other posts, but when I do that, "format" disappears and it not longer displays the video on the blog module page list. (also, it never appeared on my actual post page?)
Hi there, this tutorial is great as it doesn't require any plugin. The only issue is that when clicking on the post there are 2 videos showing, one from the featured image/video and then the one showing up from the link inserted in the post content. Is there a way to show only one of them rather than both? Thank you
Seems like this does not work with the latest version of wordpress. For the life of me I cannot get this to work. I done exactly what you have said. but the archive page will not load the video.
@@shahinsheikhsiam8302 nope, you would expect the video maker would reply or at least make a new video. But no. By commenting his video is getting a chance to be recommended. I would put a dislike so people are not brought here unnecessarily.
@@papneja so you acknowledge that you're on a newer version of wordpress and yet want to criticize the creator for not releasing an updated version every time WP has an update?
@@wchorski Your point? my comment saves people time and life. If you have an issue, then watch it.

@@mehmet_toprak Screen Options is still there for me in WP 5.4.1, in the upper right, below my username in the admin bar. However, it only shows up on pages where it's relevant, e.g., when you're editing a Post.
It would be so cool If can I use this :) But it's not working anymore, when I activate the Divi builder the Format section disappearing. How can I solve this?
@@wyohost It is theme-specific, but more than that, even themes that support the Video Format might not display video thumbnails/embedded videos on the Posts page, at least in my experience.
This doesnt work. You end up with the video dumped into the content area, and when you add a featured image you end up with an image and a video underneath it.
I don't have the option for Format. If that an option in some kind of setup or is it a theme thing?
I don't have the 'Format' option on my WP site. Help?

This tutorial only works if the Theme has posts formats, and the video one, of course. So you can do this because DIvi has posts formats.
To be honest, this video has saved much of my time. I've looking for this thing. Thanks alot

The same here
well i am free user account , its 2022 and i dont have "format" option at all up in the menou of yours......
Thanks. The Gutenberg feature for this works on a hit-and-miss basis. As you recommended, just pasting the URL into the body works perfectly.
Hi, liked your video. However, I didn't find any Format under Screen Options. I'm using WordPress v5.8.1 and Hello as my theme. Any idea why it's not showing? Thanks
I have the same problem. Using the Hello theme from Elementor.

@@യൂട്യൂബർ-ണ2വ This works really well for posts, but not for custom posts. Any advice?
Alright
You need DIVI theme and classic editor to do what he is showing you in the video.
It works for the general posts display but it displays the two images i.e thumbnail and featured image for the individual blog post. How can I correct that, please?
Hi Josh i have a question regards to using video as featured image, currently i'm creating a custom theme template for WP however i'm using get_the_post_thumbnail_url() to fetch the image however there is no avail, do you know an alternative code method for this? thank you
Cannot see that format section. Running Divi but do i need the clasic editor enabled or something like that ?
Does not work in 2021
the problem is in the single post it is showing 2 videos. Is it possible to display 1 video only? If yes can you please help me? Thanks
Those of you not getting the post format option in new editor...add /* -----Add support for custom post formats ----*/
add_theme_support('post-formats', array( 'aside', 'chat', 'gallery', 'image', 'link', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio')); at the end of your theme's functions.php file
Hey patrik,
many thanks for you help but on WP 5.8.1 this doesn´t work.
Can you help me?
Thanks
not working. No format box

This is a lovely solution, AND is there a way for these to open-on-click as a lightbox?
"format" seems does not exist anymore on new post Screen Options on WP 5.5.1
Hi Josh! I was not able to see the screen option tab in the new "post" page. I wish I can share a picture to show you what I'm talking about.

Please let me know if you've figured the new version out. Thank you!
Josh, Exactly what I was looking for. I'm seeing that my featured image gets cropped though- any thoughts on that?
Yeah depending on the theme or the post settings, you may need to adjust the actual featured image size. It's not always a 16:9 ratio unfortunately...
Hey Josh great tip! Since you use Divi, do you know if you can replicate this same approach except using Projects instead of Posts?
Can I still include the text to the video when I choose video format, or will it only show the video?
I'm having trouble, how do i make it so that the featured image only shows up on the "Posts" page and not show up on the actual article when you open it? I just want the image on the article title when scrolling through different posts. I don't want the featured image in the article itself. can someone help me?
Sir, please help me to add format section on screen options on the top, I did't find there? how to add that option in screen option.
Add this code in functions.php
function mytheme_setup() {
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array(
'aside',
'audio',
'chat',
'gallery',
'image',
'link',
'quote',

its possible to enable auto play and remove the controls ?

How can I show portrait size thumbnail instead of landscape?
Is there any way to do this without using the classic editor?
Is this working for iPhone also
can you also do this but with an instagram post?
Josh, at 3:46 timestamp, what plugin did you use to display the posts in the 3 column grid?
That's just the standard Divi Theme grid layout. If you're interested in trying Divi out, be sure to use this link to get 20% off!

It's there only on "posts" not pages. Just make sure it's enabled with screen options.

This doesnt work. You end up with the video dumped into the content area, and when you add a featured image you end up with an image and a video underneath it.
Super tips thank you ma friend
What about uploaded videos Rather than you tube?
if your theme does not support video formats. ie.. nothing has been programmed in for this feature to work properly. then this will not work.
Didn't work here using elementor
Title is quite misleading. The featured image in WP-terms is still an image
thanks for a helpful tips, i will do that today.
This format section is probably theme limited. Important information.
yup,i am using bimber and there is no such option in my case,and he is giving wrong information that it works on all the themes
working.. thankyou!
Thank you!
Thanks you
Good
thankyou sir
thanks a lot!!
