@phenomlab 480*360 its being read from the ytimage so it could be a background img? I have attempted to apply the last css 2 mins ago, and it did not work

[phenomlab]

@Sala Works for me - are you testing this on a desktop? The mobile CSS is a different class

[Sala]

@phenomlab i am refreshing the view:source url using mobile, please let me have the class for mobile, i apply

[phenomlab]

@Sala In mobile view, it looks fine already

[Sala]

@phenomlab surprisingly on source code the yt thumbnail is still width=“480” height=“360”

[phenomlab]

@Sala No, it isn’t

[Sala]

@phenomlab

[phenomlab]

@Sala Those are just placeholders and inherited from the iframe embed. If you change those values, nothing will happen.

[Sala]

@phenomlab you know the current yt video size is 400 * 225, on that line at the end of that code and still its reported to be very tall. So these placeholders could be the culprit

[phenomlab]

@Sala What do you get if you try in incognito? It works fine for me.

[Sala]

@phenomlab we are called off for supper, will attempt to check using that, the browser would have to start a fresh. Catch up on later. Many thanks bdw

[Sala]

@phenomlab i also believe the video is okay, though the report is still unclear.

Is this a video issue or its the article image?

[phenomlab]

@Sala That’s telling you that the video is too tall, and doesn’t meet Google’s criteria. You should remove the CSS below and be more specific with image sizes

div.text img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 315px;
}

You are targeting all img tags with this CSS, which is less than desirable. Let’s first remove this CSS and see if that resolves the Google crawl issue which I’m confident it will.

[Sala]

@phenomlab sure, let me compose myself, because the css currently is wrapped up. But, what of the height if we remove its going to use the image height which sometime back i saw them occupying a large space.

div.text is affecting even yt video d**n, that brings up the picture

[phenomlab]

@Sala it will affect that because you are targeting all img elements - this is why I said to remove that CSS block

[Sala]

@phenomlab On it sir

[Sala]

@phenomlab done, its resubmitted on google. I am composing another article so we can clarify if that was the problem. Talk to you later

[phenomlab]

@Sala Ok. Keep me posted.

[Sala]

@phenomlab new article has been index though we have the same issue. At least not from article image, this time its the image from the video?

[phenomlab]
