Embedded video size

#1 · December 6, 2018, 6:36 pm

I have just started using Asgaros on our website and am very pleased with it. It is just what I wanted, very simple, user-friendly and looks good.

I am just starting to feel my way around it and tried embeding a YouTube video link. This gives a very big image on the mail and I can’t see how to reduce it. I am very much an amateur in these matters but notice on another post that it was suggested that the themes CSS settings could be the reason. We use Enfold but I can’t see what I might have to change. Any help appreciated to reduce the size

Below is the example

Hello @richards

It seems that your theme is making some calculations and set big sizes for iframes (see the attached image). I cant make changes to the logic of themes directly because this always brings the risk of breaking other things as well.

I suggest you to contact the developers of your theme. Maybe they can help you to change some of the iframe-related sizes. Unfortunately I dont know your theme and its code so I am sorry that I cant give you any code which works out-of-the-box.

I have now managed to solve this by installing the plugin “ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder” and setting the max. width to 500

Excuse me. Maybe where I missed, but there is a solution to limit the video in version 1.14.9

Look bad by default

Hello @rusev

The size is based on the available space of the content-area of your website. I guess it should be possible to modify it a bit by using some custom-css. Can you provide me a link to the post which contains the video?

Found code here, added part of it CSS

.post-wrapper iframe {
    height: 300px;
}

Now there are no problems in height

Watch an example https://kam-news.ru/forum/topic/ya-slushayu/?part=5#postid-1551

Perhaps you have a better solution.

Hello @rusev

I think in your case this code is the best solution because you only have limited content-space available on your site.

@asgaros Thank!
Do not tell me how to limit the width?

Hello @rusev

The code for changing the width looks similar:

.post-wrapper iframe {
    width: 200px;
}
