YouTube videos – Editor theme
-
I realized YouTube embeds, among all supported embeds, do not fit the whole text column when we add them to posts/pages. Is that on purpose? Because I think videos would look great if they did.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there – could you please provide a link to a post where your YouTube embed isn’t filling the with of the post or page? I just did a test and it’s filling the full width on my post, so it would be helpful if I could have a look directly. This site looks to be running Ampersand at the moment: http://andsleonardo.com/

Oh, that automatic “The blog I need help with is.” Sorry about that.
Anyway, I instaled the Editor theme again and created the same post I was having trouble with: http://andsleonardo.com/portfolio/folha-review-alien-isolation/

Thanks!
You actually don’t need a shortcode to add YouTube videos. Could you try removing the shortcode and just putting the link on its own line, like this:
I just tested it on my site and it takes up the full width – let me know how it goes!

Well, I’m afraid that didn’t work as well ):
I also have this another post as example: http://andsleonardo.com/2014/07/03/link-reencarnacao-feminina/
Both only use the link. No shortcodes.

Aw, that really is odd. Well, count on me if you need any help with testing and stuff. And thank you very much for the support until now!

While we haven’t yet found the cause for the discrepancy in video widths, we may have two workarounds for you to try in the meantime:
1) You could try appending the width manually:

[youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=XZmxvig1dXE&start=177&w=730]This shouldn’t normally be necessary but it’s a workaround for now.
Let me know if this does the trick in the meantime.
We’ll keep you posted if we find the culprit.

Hi there,
We were able to track down the issue to an old setting for your site that had since been removed by us. We’ve cleaned up the setting, so you shouldn’t need to manually add the width to the embed links anymore, and all of your videos should be full-width to the text column.
Let us know if you have any questions!
