  • Hey all ..

    This seems like a simple problem but I can’t solve it . I have an embedded floating video in my content. The text is supposed to wrap around it on the right . And does.

    I have a new paragraph that I want to have placed UNDER the embedded video. I tried putting breaks after the previous paragraph until the next paragraph starts UNDER the embedded video area. The problem is that it doesn’t work .

    WordPress seems to filter these <br/> out of my content ! How do I get more control over things like this ? I just want to have my text wrapped around the video , but not have the second paragraph start as a wrapped text !

    -FOP-

  • I’ve never encountered the error, but I’ve run into more problems than I can list with video in WP. Generally when I add <br></br> after my videos it works just fine though.

    Have you tried using only the code tab when editing? I find that if I edit or even click the visual tab after adding video code it will be broken up by WP and cause it to displace.

    Again, I doubt these will help you, but some simple steps I’ve taken to prevent headache.

    Yes, you cannot have more than one br tags – WP will take them out.
    You need a “clearing” element where you want to stop the floating (wrapping).
    E.g. <br class="clearer" />
    and in the stylesheet have a line like:
    .clearer {clear: both;}
