Yep you were spot on as soon as I put a custom excerpt in the post meta options, everything worked great, the thumbnail still shows in the post preview and no longer shows in the post.
And the video is now at the top of the page exactly as I wanted it, thanks Kyle your a genius and your help is greatly appreciated.
The only way I could get rid of it was by creating a custom menu that links directly to the post and adding that to the side bar, although I shouldn’t have to do that it would be nice if i could just use the categories, I’ve alreay had to create custom menus for all the RGT section, then hide that category using a function, any ideas?
Jesus, I have no clue what is going on, but i changed the Archive Content Output to Excerpt and they are now displaying correctly again, I think I need a drink, soft and fizzy of course off to get some coke.
It worked but, I’ve lost the ability to tell it how many words I want it to display, and I tried your way and that seems to work better, and I notice that some of it has been changed already, then I checked again and it changed back, crazyness.
OK i’m gonna stick with what you sait custom detail meta the post the video link in there for now, I think.
