# Change default shortcode settings

 * Hi,
    Since I always use the same value, I’m trying to change the default settings
   for shortcodes, like video width, but until now I had no luck. This is my code
   right now:
 * add_filter( ‘videopress_shortcode_options’, function( $tags ) {
    $tags[ ‘w’ ]
   = ‘1400’; return $tags; });
 * Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
    Thank you

 * Hi [@apetrini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apetrini/), I’m not a developer
   and I’ve asked some folks on our team to take a look to see if they have suggestions.
   Here’s the doc I have:
    [https://developer.jetpack.com/hooks/videopress_shortcode_options/](https://developer.jetpack.com/hooks/videopress_shortcode_options/)
 * And the code is [here](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/7.4.1/modules/videopress/shortcode.php/#L127).
 * But it does seem we’ll use your theme’s $content_width if that is specified, 
   unless the video width is larger. In your case, should the video and theme content
   width be the same?
