kastelic 6 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 In your Platform Pro settings under "blog and posts" under the heading "Post Excerpt or Summary Handling" check the home/blog page. Then simply go to your post and post the video embed code into the excerpt box below the post content box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloew11 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 i tried it with the setting: Post Excerpt or Summary Handling - Posts/Blog Page - Single Post Pages - Search Results - Category Lists - Post Archives (all of them are checked then i create a new post with the youtube link in excerpt. but i still only see the link to youtube in the overview instead the videplayer (link to overview of "test2 post" (http://beli.xn--lw-fka.ch/).

Kate 3 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 Hi Beli - You have a couple of options here. First, I would recommend adding it to the custom excerpt section, which appears below the main content box of any post add/edit screen. Second Option: "Settings->Blog and Posts->Full Post Content" check "Posts/Blog Page" and uncheck the option you listed above for "Posts/Blog Page". This will show the full content of the post. You can cut off where you want the excerpt to end by using <!-- more -->. Obviously this isn't as "backwards compatible" if you have multiple posts already created. Third option: use a plugin like "Advanced Excerpt". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
