Suddenly all my embedded youtube videos show incorrectly on my page

  • Hello,

    I wanted to work on my webpage today after a few days break and suddenly all my videos are no longer showing correctly. I am using elementor to create my page and all the videos are on youtube and embedded onto my webpage.

    All the videos on all different subpages are affected. They show in the correct width, but with very low height. The Playbutton is there and you can click on it. It wil start the video, but in a tiny size.

    On my laptop it is the same, on my phone too, but only when I hold it in landscape-mode (otherwise it shows correctly). I asked a friend and he also told me the videos does show in this small bar where barely anything is visible at all.

    I have been trying to create a new page an to add a video there with elementor and the problem occurs again right away. I tried to add a video with the wordpress editor there it will show in the correct size.

    If anyone could help with with this issue, I would be super grateful. Thank you so much.

  • When I rolled back to version 3.10.0, the video height was restored normally. It seems to be a version issue.

    Hello all! Having the same problem

    It is not letting me roll back to 3.10.2 using the plugin.

    Does anyone have a download link or a fix for this?

    Oh, I figured it out! Nevermind! ??

    Thanks for this fix!

    @logisticscm?@smochen?@robotheater?Quick update: looks like a solution for the video bug is in sight. Not yet in 3.12 (just released) but in upcoming 3.13. Looking forward :D.

    I have a solution to this that worked for me. I had the same issue. I clicked on the video and then clicked on the style tab. I changed the aspect ratio from 16:9 to another aspect ratio and then back to 16:9 then clicked update. Then the video appeared fine. This happened the last few times I updated elementor. Hopefully this helps.

    @adalov – thank you very much. I too have rolled back as you suggest and all embedded videos are now displaying correctly. I have a staging site, created a week ago and the site files matched the live site. I’ve documented all the updates in order and am applying them to the live site. Elementor has failed on the live site with the embedded video display height and yet it’s working perfectly on the staging site. They are both on the same server. If I find out why, I’ll post here.

    I also had the bug, but was able to fix it even in the latest Elementor version using the following CSS code.

    .elementor-video {
    height: 100%;
    }

    This sets the height of the YouTube video back to 100%. The code can be placed anywhere on the page in the Custom CSS field (e.g. On YouTube video widget -> Advanced -> Custom CSS).

    Important: In this way it must be placed on every page

    I hope I could help

    Im having the same issue… the above solution seems to work on youtube videos but not with Vimeo.

    Anyone have a further update in a fix to this bug?

    @falcondevit Thanks a lot. I have to publish the website soon and have no time for waiting on Elementor updates. This solution is great!

    … am I right that this problem is STILL not fixed ?!

    @smochen @all

    I had the same problem and discovered that my cache plugin was the source of the problem. (Should have known)

    I am looking into a development help to learn how to resolve this issue in the future,

    but its a major sore spot for Elementor. Divi does not experience stuff like this, and it’s a one time payment for unlimited licenses.

    Pretty much secures, IMO, that Divi is the better of the two right now.

    I’m very much down on Elementor for letting this problem persist for literally…. years. They know about it, just havent fixed it.

    For me this solved the problem:

    .elementor-video {
    height:100%;
    }
