I have tried using 2 different calendar plugins and settled with EventOn but this problem happened with both so think it may be something with the newspaper 7 theme and not individual plug. When placed in youtube video (tried just pasting URL, embedding and iframe and happens to all three) the video comes in the wrong size — the width is correct but the height is VERY small. If I click the video to play fullscreen and then reduce it back down the video is correct size. When I emailed EventOn to see if something is up with their plugin they stated:
“The height of videos is defined in the plugin’s CSS file. Probably your theme’s rules overwrite it.”
Since this happens in two different plugins I was checking to see if something on newspaper 7 end is makeing the video not show properly.
Also, try as I might, where in the css do you change the drop down menu color to another color besides white?
Thanks for the help.
Hello,
Well it could be that event plugins have trouble with videos in our theme. I cannot say for sure as we have not tested any event plugins. If it;s just a css issue, then the fix will be simple. If it cannot be done with css and it requires more in depth customization we will not be able to help as plugin implementation is not part of the theme support.
Please provide a link to such a video and we will take a look.
Thank you!
You can see couple examples from this page by choosing an event from the calender — such as Walk Your Pet Month (top event) or Seeing Eye Dog (bottom event):

Thanks for help.
Hi,
Unfortunately the iframe itself is getting the broken height. You can try to add this code in the theme panl->custom css box:
.evo_custom_content.evo_data_val iframe{
height:100%!important;
}
Thanks.
Thanks for response. It helped fix it by like 50% taller. Still cut off like 50% for some reason using the iframe tag. BUT when use your css and a youtube shortcode from a shortcode plugin using the video goes to correct height. Not the best solution but it is one I am happy to work with. Thanks for the css code – it helped a lot!!
Hi,
Unfortunately an iframe cannot be targeted with css properly You can only target the iframe itseld, not the content inside it. Your iframe got the size hardocded provided by the iframe source (the plugin) SO for the moment there is no proper solution to have it display exactly as intended. You can also contact the plugin author and see if there are any iframe settings to be changed.
Thank you!
