    I am trying to reduce the size of an embedded video, the short code I am using is a bit smaller than in your example on how to embed but for some reason nothing seems to happen, it remains at the same dimensions! I’m using cMap 3.0

    [embed height=152 width=270]http://youtu.be/IPg5Xjtj2Xw[/embed]

    Cheers

    @ Ray

    The [embed] shortcode is a WordPress shortcode so I don’t actually know much more than what listed in the FAQ and on the page that is linked to in the FAQ.

    I see that is says this on the WordPress [embed] doc page:

    “It also allows you to set a maximum (but not fixed) width and height, like so: [embed width="123" height="456"]…[/embed]”

    So your syntax looks correct.

    Maybe the issue is the use of the short URL instead of the long one?
    Or maybe you’re video is not available in a smaller size?
    I also found a few issues like this with the [embed] shortcodes if the Jetpack Plug was installed. So, if you have that installed try deactivating it.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Steve,

    Yep, seems to be something with the Jetpack, once I deactivated the shortcode worked fine. Odd that….anyway did the trick!

    Thanks for your speedy response once again, have a good weekend!

    Just a note, I’ve found Jetpack plays badly with quite a lot of plugins and even themes. It’s also fairly bloated and slowed my site down a LOT. I’ve stopped using it for that reason.

    I tested with Jetpack installed and without and would totally agree that there is a difference in load times. Does seem very bloated these days and those few seconds count a lot!
