Change YouTube placeholder resolution
When you've enabled "Use placeholder images for YouTube videos", the placeholder defaults to the resolution "hqdefault".
You can change that using the filter "flyingpress_youtube_placeholder_resolution":
add_filter('flyingpress_youtube_placeholder_resolution', function(){ // Available resolutions: default, mqdefault, hqdefault, sddefault, maxresdefault return 'maxresdefault'; });
