    Hi everyone 😉

    How could I use a Soundcloud player as a feature "image" on my posts.

    Thanks!

    Hi there

    i don't see how that would be possible, it is just that, a featured image.

    Sadly the great Featured Video Plus plugin doesn't play well with Genesis 🙁

    See e.g. this thread:

    Heh, looks like I had this exact problem before:

    Video as Featured Image

    So I've almost got it working how I want it now...

    I added:

    //* Code to Display Featured Image (and therefore featured video embed) on archive posts
    add_action( 'genesis_before_entry_content', 'featured_post_image', 8 );
    function featured_post_image() {
      if ( is_singular( 'archive' ) )  return;
    	the_post_thumbnail('post-image');
    }

    and removed:

    //* Add featured images after title on single posts and pages
    add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'single_post_featured_image', 15 );
    
    function single_post_featured_image() {
    	
    	if ( ! is_singular() )
    		return;
    	
    	$img = genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'html', 'size' => genesis_get_option( 'image_size' ), 'attr' => array( 'class' => 'post-image' ) ) );
    	printf( '<a href="%s" title="%s">%s</a>', get_permalink(), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ), $img );
    	
    }

    and unchecked "Include the Featured Image?" in Genesis -> Theme Settings...

    And now I think I've got it pretty much working as intended, i.e. featured images show everywhere, but when I've added a featured video that is displayed instead....

    The featured video is displayed on single posts:

    Open Value Networks

    And in content archives:

    But not (yet) on the the home page:

    How to get it working there too?!?

    The only thing I'd like to get working now is to get the featured
