    Hello,
    I have the Traffica Pro theme on my site and I'd like a video to be in the homepage slider. (in theme options > slider settings, it says video is an option to upload). I have a 225mb video that I'm trying to upload, but it wont work. It uploads for like an hour then just has a "0" as the image. No video actually uploads. Am I doing something wrong?
    It also wont accept a YouTube link as a thumb nail either. Any suggestions?

    When I assign the YouTube URL to the theme options > slider settings, it just shows the URL as the picture on the home page.

    Never mind. I just found out that a URL and an embed code are NOT the same thing.
    To other beginners like myself, the embed code is on the youtube video's page under "share". Click where it says "embed". Then go to your WP theme options and paste THAT, not the URL, where you want it.
