embed (Bandcamp) sizing issue

  • hello,

    This is for a www.remarpro.com site using the 2020 theme.
    I am having trouble with the sizing for Bandcamp shortcode embeds. The player takes on the full page body size with extra white space to the right and below (see screenshot image links below). I have tried changing this using inline CSS in the customizer with no luck. I have also tried the html iframe version and it works (sort of – still some sizing problems) but I really would like to use the shortcode version. I have tried plug-in troubleshooting by disabling them etc.. with no luck. JetPack -> Settings -> Writing ‘Compose using shortcodes to embed media from popular sites’ is enabled. WordPress, plugins, and browsers (Firefox and Chrome) are all current versions. I am having the same issue no matter what desktop browser I use. It looks good on cellphone though – no extra white space, but also full width. I have also tried the ‘twentytwenty options’ plug-in, but no luck there either.

    So there seems to be a ‘full width’ issue here that I cannot resolve. I am on the steep end of the learning curve when it comes to web development.
    Here are a couple of .jpgs demonstrating what it looks like in my browser:

    (needed two screenshots to capture entire embed due to large size)

    and here is what the embed should look like:

    This last image is from a WordPress.com site (that is still active) that I recently migrated from.

    any help would be very appreciated,
    Rob

    Unfortunately no. It’s going to require more than just some inline CSS. I don’t have the time or expertise to attempt to fix this at deeper levels (ie. functions.php) right now. I have read in many places that working with iframes is tricky. I am going to have to abandon using Bandcamp embeds for now and just use clickable images that take the visitor to the associated Bandcamp page.
