  • Try adding this to /wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/functions.php:

    function change_embed_defaults()
{
	return array
	(
		'width' => 560,

		'height' => 315
	);
}

add_filter('embed_defaults', 'change_embed_defaults');

    And add this code to the bottom of /wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css:

    .embed-youtube
{
	margin-left:-43px;
	position:relative;
	width:560px;
}

    znuffn, hi. thank you very much for responding. i have two questions.

    1) do i put these anywhere in those files?

    2) i use a link to the youtube video on its own line, usually, not an embed. will that make a difference?

    thanks for your help.

    Patricia:

    You can modify the files by Appearance > Editor in the WordPress admin menu. Once you are in the Theme editor you can select the following files for editing (options on right side of screen):

    Theme Functions (functions.php)

    Stylesheet (style.css)

    Make sure you copy the code exactly into your functions.php file because if you introduce syntax errors you can possibly break your website.
