    I am building a site with Helena that has a lot of iFrames in it from different sources. Despite the dimensions in the iFrame snippet being correct, they all appear with the wrong ration – appearing long and thin instead of rectangular.

    I have tried on posts and pages with iFrames from youtube, soundcloud and other places and it is the same with all of them.

    Can anyone advise how to get them to appear in the right size as it is key to my site?

    examples can be seen here: http://itsthelisteningthatcounts.axnscollective.org/city-sounds/

    @mmarcus: Theme has responsive video support from Jetpack plugin. So, don’t embed video like that. Just add in the video URL in your post editor and it will work fine.
    Just add like:

    Hi @Mahesh, thanks for getting back to me.

    I have tried that but the media still appears cropped, just at full width of the page:

    It is really important I can get the media appearing on the page with the right dimensions and I need to resolve the issue quickly I am afraid as I am on deadline. Any help you can give me would be grately appreciated.

    @mmarcus: Test the YouTube link on our server, and its is working fine. If you have are using any plugins please try disabling theme and try again.

    @mahesh I only had one to pull a facebook feed and to put the site behind a login. I deactivated both and it hasn’t made a difference.

    @mahesh I have made the site public so you can have a look at it. The really important one is this one:

    <iframe src=”http://aporee.org/maps/work/export/?swlat=51.464061&swlng=-0.346413&nelat=51.550605&nelng=0.090981&z=12&m=hybrid&w=1274&h=455″ width=”1274″ height=”455″></iframe>

    which can be found on this page:

    Thanks again.

    embed, iframe, object, video {
        height: 500px;
    }

    Note: Pleaese adjust the height as desired.
