Hi, I installed a video on a page and I want to write text to the right of the video. But, I can only write it above or below the video when editing the page. So, there is a lot of blank space next to the video. I'm using the page as a landing page and am using a Theme with no sidebars or widgets. How do I get the text to go to the right of the video? Is there some special coding? Thanks.

You did not say How you "installed a video" but you can always just make a table. Basic HTML

Posted 1 year ago #I used the Upload/Insert icon to upload the video. Then I used the Insert/ edit embeded media icon to put the url in and it appears on my page.
So, how does on "make a table" if one doesn't know basic HTML? And, is a table what I need in order to write the text next to the video instead of just above or below it?

Google is your biggest friend. There are tens of thousands of pages on how to create tables and it is one of the simplest things in HTML. And if you want to continue to do more things with your site its well worth learning basic HTML. WP does a lot but it can't do everything.

Posted 1 year ago #I appreciate the response. Although I thought that the WordPress support forum would be the place to save time and get support for WordPress, I did go and Google tables and spent some time learning them. But, the tables go above the video or below the video, but not next to the video, just like the text does. I guess it'll remain a mystery how to get the text to go next to a video or picture.

Posted 1 year ago #OK, I see now how the table works. The video goes in the actual table. It's like a tic tac toe board, the video in one square, the text in the square next to it. It funtions for what I want to do but I've seen many other sites which have text next to the video or picture, but don't have any table code.
Nevertheless, it's not a total mystery to me anymore. Thanks.
