No thumbnail in Essential Grid for Post only containing an embedded YouTube Video

Support
#1

Hello
I am setting up an essential grid to display my posts based on category. The posts are simply embedded YouTube videos. When I make my grid, the grid is not displaying the YouTube thumbnail; just a blank lightbox. When I have the skin set to you Youtube stream, the “play” button does nothing. If I set it to a different skin, the link button will take me to the post, but the other button does nothing.

What am I doing incorrectly?
I guess I do not know what to set the source as. I am new to this plugin, and I have tried to experiment, but I am not finding any success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I figured this one out! I had to select “First Content Youtube Video” as the selection and drag it to the top of the source menu.

Next question; how can I set up the grid that the user can visit the post itself as well in addition to the YouTube video playing in the lightbox?

Hey Ron,

I’m sorry but I’m confused with what you need. If you click on the thumbnail, it will only do one action and that’s to open the lightbox. Would you mind clarifying?

Thanks.
