hello, i have a newspaper theme set to video theme template.my problem is that i would like to use in the featured video an embedded video of youtube having a specific size.
how can i do it?
To get the size I want i need this iframe provided by youtube. can you help me?
<iframe width=”300″ height=”531″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/bUbXCEGLU5U” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
Just change the numbers of the width and the height:
width=?
height=?
For whatever size. Then embed it, and see if the size is okay.
There are ways of making your YouTube embeds responsive. I am not completely sure how to do it perfectly myself. So I suggest looking up responsive YouTube embeds.
Hello drakulina,
If you want to have a specific size you should change the actual width and height values with yours and then you can use the @media queries rule to make it responsive for any devices. For more information about this method, you should consult here -> http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.asp
If you want to display more levels in our theme and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
unfortunately your proposal doesn’t work because it is related to how to cut the video. the youtube video has one way only to be cut… use the iframe tag.
in the featured video (the preview of the post) you cannot use tags so @media doesn’t make sense because it will reduce the space of the video not in the way needed.
I’m a developer so i do not need to hire a developer as well 🙂 i need to understand how to fit my need in your theme due to the fact that it doesn’t work.
any other idea?
i tried this already but this feature was deprecated by youtube. the only feature possible is to embed the youtube video as proposed from youtube with an iframe, not possible to be used in the featured video field.
you can test it by yourself …
any other suggestion?
Hello drakulina,
Please keep in mind that each post templates uses different thumbs to fit the Feature image and Featured Video. Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to change the size of it but only if you will custom implement it. For my understanding, please provide a certain example and also, try to explain me what do you want to implement your featured video and what you want to display it at your side. I need to know these details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
