In the latest version, the WP $content_width variable took effect (wasn’t working before).
I have it set at 1200, as most things resize down gracefully (images, galleries etc..).
Unfortunatley, YouTube videos don’t downsize very gracefully.
Options:
a) Set a new content width in your child theme’s functions.php, like this:
global $content_width;
$content_width = 500;
b) Try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-video-embeds/
c) Manually embed these videos using a width and height that you can set when you grab the embed code.
Let me know 🙂
