    Hello and thanks to anyone who can help.

    I can't get my youtube videos to go full width (at least as far as the content width) and can't get it to center.

    I click the center alignment button on the youtube block and it still does nothing.

    Just this little tiny left-shifted video shows up:

    Dead at Third - A Henry Walsh Private Investigator Mystery (Series Book #1 - Ebook Version)

    The theme is altitude pro.

    Any thoughts? Thank you for your help 🙂

    Looks like the video embed itself is limiting the width to 500px -

    <iframe title="Dead at Third - A Henry Walsh Mystery" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/something?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

    I'm not sure why it's setting the width like that. I've installed a plugin that seems to work better than the youtube block.

    Thanks for pointing that out. Got me where I needed to go...
