Wrong aspect ratio for YouTube Embeds

cristianfloreacristianflorea

Hi,

I want to use this theme for my blog, where I usually embed YouTube videos. The problem is that on mobile devices the embedded videos don't maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio and they look pretty weird, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Also, is there any CSS code that I can use to get rid of this part of the header? Thanks!

    1) I can see that you use WP Editor for your posts. Videos are controlled by them, and we do not have an influence on that.

    If you use BeBuilder instead, the video will be scaled down with an appropriate aspect ratio.

    2) Please go to Betheme -> Theme options -> Header & Subheader -> Header, and change the height value to zero.

    Thank so much you for your help. The header problem has been solved with your guidance.

    Regarding the videos, the problem is that I have hundreds of articles already written with WP Editor and it's a pain in the ass to convert all of them to BeBuilder. Also, with my current theme, everything works fine, that's why I think that it's a CSS problem somewhere on the BeTheme.

    I attached below a screenshot with the current code from the last article and, as you can see, there is nothing wrong in here. It's a clean code, nothing that can influence the responsiveness in a wrong way.

    I've fixed it by adding this code to the functions.php

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    add_theme_support( 'responsive-embeds' );
} );

    Have a good day!

    I was about to send you the same code. Happy to see that you found it first.

    I hope that you put it in your child theme. Otherwise, your modification will be erased after the next theme update.
