Hello Ryan
I want to insert a square (YouTube) video in my article. In backend I set 700x700 px dimensions and it looks ok (see the attachment).
In frontend, since the responsive widget is active, it appears instead as a classic horizontal YouTube video: https://www.awand.org/cos-e-awand
What settings should I use to see it square also in frontend?
Thanks.

In the Responsive Widget plugin parameters (System -> Manage -> Plugins), you can set the display to be Full Width (as it is on your site now), or when this option is disabled, the actual size of the video will be used, but will still be responsive.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Hi Ryan, sorry to reopen this question but after I disabled the Full Width in Responsive Widget the iFrame I inserted in another page became a narrow strip, I can't set a height either in percentage or using "auto" or in pixels.

https://www.awand.org/test-iframe

for testing, I have inserted 3 iframe:

width="100%" height="auto"

width="900" height="100%"

width="100%" height="100%"

There is no such thing as 100% height on an iframe, unless the container the iframe is in has a set height.

For these iframes, you must set a height value, as they are not media sources (eg: Youtube), where the height can be calculated based on a standard ratio.

Sorry,

now they are

height="700"
height="700px"
height="900px"

but they are a narrow strip still.
