Putting a Youtube Embed Video In Center Position

After getting the youtube embed code, add the div element to wrap the youtube iframe code like this:

<div style="text-align: center;">Your youtube embed code</div>

1	<div style="text-align: center;">Your youtube embed code</div>

And the result of the installation of the above code makes the video in the right position now, that is in the middle. You can’t center the video by clicking the “align center” format button on the WordPress “visual editor” tab but still have to add the div element code using the manual on the “text editor” tab. And the results become as shown below.

To install video embed youtube for the full width you need to add a little CSS to set youtube iframe. This trick I get directly from the site css-tricks.com. Here’s how:

You should add this CSS code via the “Text editor” tab. Then add the following CSS code:

<style>.videoWrapper {
	position: relative;
	padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
	padding-top: 25px;
	height: 0;
}
.videoWrapper iframe {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
}</style>

position: relative;

padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */

padding-top: 25px;

height: 0;

}

.videoWrapper iframe {

position: absolute;

top: 0;

left: 0;

width: 100%;

height: 100%;

}</style>

<div class="videoWrapper">
Your youtube embed code
</div>
