THUMBNAIL ISSUE!

 

I have my youtube channel vids listed on my site using tubepress.

The thumbnails I use on youtube are only showing up on a handful of videos. The strange thing is, the videos that retain the original youtube thumbnails change with every reload of the page. 

 

In addition, the thumbs that are NOT original are random snapshots of the video and very low quality. These also change with every reload!?!?

 

here is the site

here is the shortcode I am using

[tubepress playerLocation="popup" orderBy="newest" thumbHeight="180" thumbWidth="240"]

 

 

Above is my most pressing issue...

 

In addition I would like to know how to have title, length etc show up on the video thumb. 

I would also like to know how to allow space between the thumbnails. Right now they are bordered by black and appear to be all connected. 

 

 

As I said, the latter issues are not pressing and I think I can figure them out on my own with some research but I figured I would post them anyway. 

 

I have been searching for a solution to the first issue for a couple hours and I am not finding anything. Thanks so much for any help!!

Hi Conor,

 

There are a couple possible items that could be causing the changing thumbnails. 

 

1 - Could you check in WP Settings > TubePress > Thumbnails > 'Randomize thumbnail images' and is that checked or not?

2 - The space issues (black lines, as well as not seeing the description) are caused by the Height and width settings that you are hard coding into the shortcode.

3 - Also, do you have the High Def thumbnails setting set?

 

Let us know. Thanks!
