Video queries

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible when having recent posts displayed on the home page of my site to show an image of a video but not be able to play the video until you go to the actual post. I embed the videos in the post and have tried plugins to help with featured image but all I can get on the front page is the image and then the video. All I want is the image which when clicked would lead to the post containing the video.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S I am a newbie so please be kind lol .

Hi Alan,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

You can try achieving this by setting the featured image of video to the post or adding the video image in the excerpt field of post.

Best Regards,
