How to disable auto-resizing of videos on responsive themes
In our responsive themes, such as Katana and Shinobi, we automatically resize videos to fit the full width of the area they're embedded into. This can be disabled on a per-video basis by wrapping a special piece of code around the embed code that YouTube provides.
You'll want to add this piece of code BEFORE the youtube embed code:
<div class="ignorevid">
And this piece of code AFTER the youtube embed code:
</div>
So it looks something like this:
<div class="ignorevid"> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PRDtRTuMZtM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>
Please get in touch with us if you need a hand with this. We are happy to do it for you!
