What’s the best approach to fix this?

Increase main column width?

Look for the embed function and change width and height. Where is it?

Is this theme error once that displayed sizes should be according with existing column width?

Go to your WordPress dashboard -> ‘Settings’ -> ‘Media’ and change ‘Maximum embed size’ width/height to suit your needs.

The new WordPress 3.6.1 doesn’t have this option anymore. I know there are a few code hacks out there for changing the embed size, but those affect all the embeds on the site (including embeds on regular posts).

I was wondering: Is there a way to change the embed size for bbpress posts only?

Nevermind, I solved it. This did the trick:

Hello, which file did you insert the code into? I’m a bit of a coding novice. Appreciate the help!

Hi @lomyn.

On the bbPress install package, there should be a file called bbpress.css (under bbpress/templates/default/css). Just extract that file from the package, add the code at the end of the file, and copy it to your theme’s css directory.
