    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the ‘Responsive’ theme. Using the Home page layout option in which a person can have text on the left side of the page and a featured image one the right side of the page in the top block, ss it possible to have a video in place of the featured image in this theme without the CSS upgrade?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    This isn’t possible without the CSS upgrade. You may be able to use the CSS upgrade to remove the space on the page designated for the featured image and put the video there instead. If you are interested in exploring that, let me know and I’ll be happy to help you with the code.

    We also have a premium theme designed to do something similar without CSS.

    So i did a bit of searching and found this bit of html code that seems to work:

    <div style=”float:left;margin-right:15px;”><iframe width=”320″ height=”160″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/s2JINyKD_Xo?list=UUKzzheOlXbOAptYewqLz6Nw” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe></div>This is an example of how to wrap text around a Youtube video in WordPress using inline styles.

    The video plays well at the coded size. The only problem is that if you view the video full screen, when you press “escape” to exit full screen the video is no longer visible on the page. Do you know what causes this? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Don

    Hi Don,

    Can you give me a link to a page where you added that code and are having this issue with the video? That way I can take a closer look to see what’s going on there.

    Hi, this is the site address

    I use this extra blog to try stuff out before I use it on my main wordpress.com site. I also notice that when I hit “ESC” to exit fullscreen that in addition to the video disappearing the audio does continue.

    Thanks, Don

    Thanks, Don. I don’t have any trouble with opening and closing the fullscreen video in Chrome, but I see what you mean when I look at it in Firefox. It looks like that happen when you add the float style to the div you’re wrapping around the video — I don’t recommend using that approach, since it can have unexpected effects like what you’re seeing there. Instead, I’d recommend using CSS to customize your theme’s layout to get the effect you’re looking for there.
