 * When I insert a YouTube video with Embedplus setup to automatically enhance YouTube
   videos, they instantly get squashed!
 * The player width is correct and if I look at the code, the height is also correctly
   stated, but the output is fixed at 150px high and I can’t see why!
 * Can you help? Take a look at [http://sosi.epage.co.uk/partners/](http://sosi.epage.co.uk/partners/)

 * Hi:
 * 1) You have a theme that overrides the width/height of the object tag. On about
   line 31 of [http://sosi.epage.co.uk/wp-content/themes/truepixel/style.css](http://sosi.epage.co.uk/wp-content/themes/truepixel/style.css),
   you have:
 * img, video, object, embed {
    max-width: 100%; height: auto!important; }
 * If you change it to the below, then your EmbedPlus embeds will match the width/
   height that’s actually in the code:
 * img, video, embed {
    max-width: 100%; height: auto!important; }
 * Notice the “object,” part is removed.
 * 2) Even after you do this, that particular video is very large–a bit too wide
   for your theme. The maximum width you should use is 603px, not 960px, or else
   it will start slipping under your sidebar.
 * Again, note that for a faster response, use email:

 * Thanks,
