video posts

Hi Sara, could you let me know how you’re going about inserting the Vimeo embeds?

Could you please switch to Text/HTML view on both posts, and paste the code into two Pastebins so I can have a look? Once you’ve created the Pastebins, copy the links here. Thanks!

Could you please try using the oEmbed method for inserting Vimeo, instead of using an iFrame?

Just put the URL for the video on its own line within each post, like this:

and

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks, Sara.

It looks like one of those videos is being made available by the creator in a larger 1280×720 version, while the other is only available as a smaller 640×360 version. That is the only difference I can see. Here’s two screenshots to show you what I mean:

I took those screenshots on the Vimeo page for each video, under the “Download” link for each.

You might want to try experimenting with some other videos that offer the larger size and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Sara, this code should remove the white background so the black band shows through:

.format-video .entry-content {
     background-color: transparent !important;
}

An easy way to add custom CSS like this is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. This way, your CSS won’t be overwritten when you update the theme.

Or, you could set up a child theme, so your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:
