Video Post Meta Option - Video does not show in AMP or Mailchimp

[FlirtEmpire]

When I use the Video Post Meta Option the video will not be shown when external plugins try to pull the content of the article to display it.

For example with AMP oder when I try to make an automatic repost of the article to my mailing list.

It just acts as if there is no video.

As most of my articles only contain a video without a text added, this then looks like theres nothing at all in the article.

And as I just installed the AMP Plugin I want to fix the issue now, so I have a few questions:

1.) When I use the Standard Post Meta Option and add the Video with “Edit with pro” per embed Code - everything works fine. I could do this, but then I loose the benefits of the Video Post Meta Option and it becomes useless.

Plus I would have to change over 200 Articles manually, which is a LOT of manual work.

2.) When using method 1.) I encounter the problem, that on top of the page on desktop, the featured image will be shown and directly underneath it the video. Both are the same Image, so it looks not so good. What do you recommend?

3.) Is there another solution, which you would recommend?

Hi @FlirtEmpire,

Thanks for reaching out.

It appears AMP or Mailchimp related plugin only analyzes or read the content of the page, the video format option (post meta) is a featured video (similar to featured image) where it’s automatically added on top of an article and not as content. There is no workaround for this as this is plugin limitation, the theme can’t control the plugin’s feature like how it should read the page. Again, those plugins only ready the content (eg. the_content) where featured image or video aren’t applicable.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate it!

If you look at this page: https://link.com/

You can see what I mean, theres the Featured Image shown and also the video below.

The AMP version is displayed correctly here: https://link.com/amp

Is there a way to display Posts without the Featured Image shown above the Video but still pulled for display in AMP?

Edit: deleted my website link

Hi @FlirtEmpire,

You mean there should be no featured section except on AMP page? If yes, then please add this CSS to Theme Options > CSS

.single-post .entry-featured {
    display: none;
    }

AMP page has different structure and class names, so anything you hide on the standard page has no effect on AMP version of that page.

Thanks!
