General fixes: Embeds, centering, captions

Posted in: Newspaper

Hey guys,

Looking for some guidance on a few small but niggling fixes.

1) Instagram embeds
We’ve noticed we can longer embed Instagram images using just a link but need to use the full code. In addition, these embed really large, forcing us to manually change the code. Is there an easier way to embed IG images?

2) Twitter embeds
We can embed Twitter posts, however these are always left-justified and centering them does not work. How can we do this?

3) Twitter embed captions
Twitter embed captions are showing as our standard Paragraph text. How can we change this to be a caption style instead?

Thanks!

Hi,
I just tested the embed element and Instagram on a default theme from WordPress and it seem that it is the same (is no longer working), so the only solution remains the embed code.
Now about the center align some how for me when I use the embed code for Instagram, this is in full width and the one from twitter is automatically set center -> https://i.imgur.com/qJmT8Au.png
Can you please provide a link where we can inspect the situation for you? Maybe we can figure it out what is happening or at least we can provide a css to align the embed to center.
Thank you!
