Embedding Videos with this Theme

  • Hello…

    I am really liking this theme a whole lot. Except there is one problem that I am having. When embedding a video clip within a page, for some reason the video does not display its actual size. Instead it sqeezes in the middle of the screen. Can you tell my why this happens and how I can fix it where it doesn’t do that anymore?

    Thanks!

    please give me your url to check

    I also have the same problem. I used both the ultimate tincyMCE you tube embed and just regular embed and neither shows correctly. The width only shows a certain amount and the height is only half of what it should be. I have tried to put it in a table with a height requirement. Also doesn’t work. Seems it is an image size problem. I have a child theme and also have looked at the main function.php and your bootstrap files and don’t see anywhere in there that is is changing these.

    Just wanted to add a few more specifics. I disabled ultimate tinymce and it didn’t do anything. I then changed themes to regular twenty-eleven. Youtube videos work fine. So it is something in the theme itself. I would definately like this fixed. What good is the theme if you can’t show videos on it? Any help would be appreciated.

    Alright here was my workaround. I downloaded the plugin “WP YouTube Lyte” and added to the homepage-top where I wanted it with this code so that it overrides the themes issues.

    The regular shortcode worked on the pages and posts. See below.
    [lyte id='Zgo9SY0hK90' showinfo='0' /]

    Shortcode had to then be added into the homepage-top.php file in my child theme.
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[lyte id="Zgo9SY0hK90" showinfo="0" /]'); ?>
    where ‘Zgo9SY0hK90’ is the id of the youtube video.

    Hope this helps… otherwise your theme seems to not work with the usual WP shortcode for Youtube videos in WP 3.5.2

    or you may remove “height: auto;” for “embed, iframe, object” in style.css line #1311 and #1359

    Anyhow issue already adjusted for next update.

    Thanks will try that too as a work around. Appreciate the quick response!
