Hello:

I would like no formatting or container for videos when I post them in posts and pages. I would simply like them to show as they are from YouTube. I spent a few hours researching through this forum but could not find how to do this.

Here is a page on my site:
http://devv.newworldeconomics.com/life-without-cars-2013-edition/

I do not want full width and I want the native size from YouTube to show.

Please advise.

THanks as always,
Kim

Hi Kim,

Please add the following CSS under Customizer > Custom > Global CSS:

.entry-content embed, .entry-content iframe, .entry-content object {
    width: auto;
} 

Hope it helps 🙂

Thank you, but now it’s equally weird, only now it’s small. It still seems to have a container size…

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, at this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

What did Joao need login for if there was no understood purpose for logging in, then?

I don’t want YouTube links to be formatted. Here is the same page on a different theme:

http://dev.thecosmicpath.com/uncategorized/video-example

I want my videos to look like that. That is video in its native format. X does something to the sizing of videos/creates a container that I do not want.

So again- How do I get my videos to look like this
http://dev.thecosmicpath.com/uncategorized/video-example

and not this

Hi There,

Please remove the code above:

I have adjusted the code above

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks.

That still is not what I am asking for.

I don’t want X controlling the size of embedded videos. I want to be able to code that from the video host, in this case, YouTube.

adding this code:
/*videos*/
.entry-content embed, .entry-content iframe, .entry-content object {
width: 50%;
}

Just makes the X video fram 50% the size it was. I want ZERO size. I want youtube links to embed with the native youtube format, no interference from X.

I asked that it look like this page:
http://dev.thecosmicpath.com/uncategorized/video-example

Which is a theme that doesn’t interfere with the iframe or video embed format.

What you have provided does not resemble this page.

Please further advise.

Hello Kim,

Thanks for updating in! To resolve this issue, please update the given css code and use this instead:

.entry-content embed, .entry-content iframe, .entry-content object {
    width: auto !important;
    min-width: 640px;
}

Please let us know if this works out for you.

Now it’s not responsive. See screenshot:

Is there no way to remove video framing? does it have to be sized?

[Rue Nel]

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! I check your sample site and this is what I see in smaller screens; http://prntscr.com/dv04os
To make it auto responsive, please have the code updated and use this:

.entry-content embed, .entry-content iframe, .entry-content object {
    width: auto !important;
    min-width: 640px;
}

@media(max-width: 767px){
  .entry-content embed, .entry-content iframe, .entry-content object {
   min-width: 100%;
  }
}

Please let us know if this works out for you.

Sorry for the confusion, the site I am editing the CSS for is here:
http://devv.newworldeconomics.com/life-without-cars-2013-edition/

The site you are showing was just a site not using X that I showed Christopher who was not understanding what I was wanting.

Seems ok on mobile now, haven;t tried ipad yet. Thanks for help. Truly wish X would remove these video features or create something more easily edited. I have trouble on all 5 of my sites using X.
