Video Widget

Shapely

Hi There,

My video get’s cut in half at the bottom of my landing page. I’ve tried full width and increasing the height in pixels but it still doesn’t show the whole window.

Is there a way to open the widget up?

Hi,

Make sure the video is of resolution something like this, 1440 x 810 for a fullscreen video, it seems you’re having a very low resolution, try some tips from here: http://xtianmiller.com/notes/fullscreen-html5-background-video/

Let us know,

Thanks,

Hi Laranz,

Thanks for your help on this - just rendering out an export now and will let you know how it goes. Just as another query on my blog page is there any way to centralise the video on the page rather than it sticking to left alignment?

Hi Laranz,

So the new export and upload did work so thanks for that. But is there a way to centralise images and video on these pages?

Also the thumbnails are really blurry but the images aren’t lo -res. Is there any reason behind that?

Hi,

  1. It seems in the blog post you’re already center align the images and videos,
  2. For portfolio, you can try this Custom CSS in Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS,
.single-jetpack-portfolio #secondary {
    display: none;
}
.single-jetpack-portfolio #primary{
    width: 100%;
}

It will remove the sidebar in portfolio pages.

Let us know,

Thanks,

Hi Laranz,

Yeah I managed to change the page type and that seemed to work but that option isn’t available for portfolio pages.

The code worked a treat! Removing sidebar has done it - so thanks for that!

One last query - the thumbnails on the pages are quite blurry http://jacobcc.com/?portfolio=by-night

But when loaded they are of good resolution. I have tried changing the pixels of thumbnails in Gallery plugin but that doesn’t seem to work either. Any thoughts on this would be great.

Thanks for your help - loving the shapely theme at the moment!

Hi @jakecc89,

You’re using any plugin for that? If so, I suggest you to contact the plugin author about this issue.

Let us know,
