Embeds overlapping my text

Just recently, my Youtube embeds have started obscuring the text that I am writing between them.
So, I write some text, insert a link, write some more text, insert another link etc etc. But the second and third embeds are joined on to the first embed when it is published, obscuring all but the first block of text.
Help! This is driving me crazy.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,

Do you currently have an example of this happening on one of your post/pages?

If so, please provide the direct URL and I’d be happy to take a look.

Thanks!

Thanks. See here: https://myfestivallife.com/2021/01/15/the-a-z-of-reggae-f-is-for-prince-far-i-george-faith-fat-freddys-drop-and/

There is supposed to be text between each of the videos.

Hello there,

Many thanks for that additional information.

I suspect this may have something to do with the YouTube URL being used here:

Can you tell me how you obtained this link from YouTube please.

The reason why I ask is because, if you’re sharing individual videos, it looks like you would need to only use:

Many thanks in advance.

Hi. Thanks. That didn’t work but it did show me where I could adjust the width of the video. Somewhere I read that adjusting the video to full width might help – and it has.
I think there is something wrong with the theme that makes it do that.
It looks a bit odd now with huge gaps but at least I can put them in: https://myfestivallife.com/2021/01/15/the-a-z-of-reggae-f-is-for-prince-far-i-george-faith-fat-freddys-drop-and/

I think I probably need to choose a new theme. Any recommendations? Most of my posts are like this. Blurb, embed, blurb, embed etc etc

Oh this is interesting, I see the problem.

That gap is actually how tall the video would be _if_ it would be truly Full Width, but the theme doesn’t allow that, so it scales it down, but the gap remains.

How about trying Wide Width instead of Full Width?

Wide width still overlaps the words a little bit…first sentence or two…

Seems like a theme bug, I have already reported it to our developers, so hopefully, it will be fixed soon :).

If you’d like to try a different theme, remember that you can try them without activating them by clicking on the three dots next to the theme’s name and choosing the option Try&Customize.

This will allow you to see how the theme would look like with your content and how could you customize it.
