Hi

This page https://gotomarket.global/content/a-smarter-way-into-the-usa-series/ uses a single post featured image element. This is what shows on my screen if i am logged in to wp: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i6kwst1li37g739ml2l15/Screenshot-2024-01-22-154716.png?rlkey=s89fv6834n4jbht109cve0q2w&dl=0 It is clearly incorrect.Plse advise how to fix this.

Another issue is that the video wants to scale to the full width which then makes the resolution horrible. How do I keep the normal youtube video size plse? I tried changing the featured image size but it doesnt make any difference. Oh and what is the meaning of size of 696 x 0 (this is your default drop down box setting). Doesnt 0 mean no height?

Thx

Ian

Hello Ian!

It seems that you set a featured video URL for this post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/.
There are a lot of dimensions for the featured images.
I can see that the video is big enough, as it should be. You can use the stretch row with content option in the row’s settings.

Thank you!

Hello,
The quick solution is a custom css like this one:
.tdb_single_featured_image .wpb_video_wrapper img {
display: block;
width: auto;
}
.tdb_single_featured_image .rll-youtube-player {
padding-bottom: 35%;
}

This can be set in the theme panel > custom code > custom css.
I hope this will help you!

Hi thanks for the suggestion. I added this as a CSS module on the template but it made no difference. I see that the iframe that the video sits in is set to width=”600″ height=”560″. This is an incorrect aspect ratio for video and I cannot find a setting to control this. Frankly, my team has spent far too much time on this. I dont really want to mess around with code, it should be native to the element configuration. I would like to control the height or width but keep the aspect ratio.

Another issue is that I would like to show my own image over the video before the video plays. I enter an image in the post but it looks like this is ignored.

Thx
