Featured video not displaying properly

    Firstly thanks for this amazing theme! It really is superb. Absolutely love it!

    I am using the child theme and bought the featured video update. It is so easy to add it to the site, but that is also why I can’t figure out where the problem is. Basically it only shows half of the video (youtube) on the blog (the bottom half with no option to get to the play button) and small version on the post (not full width as on the demo). Any idea what could cause this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Glad you like it ??

    I haven’t heard of this issue before. Could you share a link to your site? Once I check it out, I can probably find a solution.

    Thanks for getting back so quickly.

    This is the website: https://londonchessboxing.com/

    I tested the featured video on this post: https://londonchessboxing.com/may-22-oracle-chessboxing-gala-the-results/

    But I just had a thought. I think it could be a clash with a plugin (Embedly). Maybe that is overriding the featured video embed?

    Aha yes that’s exactly what is happening. Tracks is adding markup for the video and styling it, and embedly is then replacing it with its own markup which is removing the styling.

    Depending on what sites you embed from, you may not need the embedly service. WordPress does automatic embeds from Twitter, Instagram, and many other social sites. Tracks will also automatically make any embedded videos responsive in the post from Youtube, Vimeo, and other popular video hosting sites.

    I was embedding articles as well, but it is fine. I can find a way around this.

    Thanks again for this great theme. Plus all the help pages you are providing for it. Much appreciated!
