  I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to figure out how to center align the vodpod widget in my sidebar. It’s throwing off my OCD! :) Everything else is center aligned and this ISN’T! Can anyone help me so graciously before I simply remove it alltogether?

  Many thanks!

  You could try center tags (<center> </center>).

  I don’t think that will work though.

  All videos tend to stay left no matter what.

  I believe you center objects like the vopod widget by using this approach but I’m not sure http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/positioning-shortcode-objects-pt-3/

  `<table align=”center”><tr><td>
  INSERTVODPODSHORTCODE
  </td></tr></table> ‘

  That won’t work in a sidebar. You can’t put a shortcode (vodpod) into a text widget.

  Unless there is some tricky CSS thing. Can’t help there, though.

  Hmm, the codes don’t work. @1tess, you’re probably right. Anybody know if there’s a similar HTML version YouTube widget that would serve same purpose?

  For now though, I went to vodpod.com & just retrieved the short code for the doublewide widget. Atleast it’s a little bit more centered now. It was driving me nuts I tell ya! :)

  This should do it:

  #vodpod .vodpod_videos_widget, #vodpod .vodpod_video_container {
  margin: auto !important;
  }

  will that not work, or are you saying nevermind because I used the double widget? I’d rather do the single version if this code works?

  I’m saying never mind because you used the double widget.
