  Hi there,

  I have the On Demand theme, which I chose for my vlog. Unfortunately, the posted videos — in the carousel and the body of the page — do not generate thumbnails. I don’t want to have to upload a photo for every video. Is there a way to do this automatically? Why do video thumbnails appear correctly on my other blog thebaochi.com and not on sanfranciscovc.com?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there – The On Demand theme uses featured images for those thumbnails. Here are instructions on how to set a featured image:
