Are you using the WordPress video shortcode to embed self-hosted videos into your website? Are you trying to position a video in the middle instead of it being aligned to the left by default? Today I will show you a simple tweak to center your videos with some custom CSS.
WordPress video feature allows you to embed video files by directly inserting the URLs or using a simple Shortcode. For example:
When a video file is embedded it’s aligned to the left by default.
In order to align it in the middle you can apply this tweak,
1. Install the Simple Custom CSS plugin.
2. Add this CSS under “Appearance -> Custom CSS“.
.wp-video {
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
After applying this CSS, all the videos will be automatically aligned in the middle.
