WordPress获取YouTube图像缩略图

Question

I'm trying to let users post a video on one our sites with text beneath it. Is there a way display the YouTube thumbnail image as a user's post thumbnail.

Example:

I post a YouTube video on the site: IMAGE LINK

Using HTML/PHP I pull in the posts on to my website using the below code:

<?php
    $posts = get_posts('cat=3');
    foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata( $post );
?>
        <?php the_date(); echo "<br />"; ?>
        <?php the_title(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

I want to load the image/video and then the title of the post. Not the date or any other content. How can this be done?

Then how can I make that thumbnail a link to go to the actual post?

Answer 1

You could grab the video id by using a custom field and place it inside the Video Thumbnail URL to get the video thumbnail.
