php - Changing the default object embed sizes?|Programmer puzzle solving

I was using the code below to set the default size for embeded objects in my posts. It worked before for me but now it no longer works.

 add_filter( 'embed_defaults', 'bigger_embed_size' );

 function bigger_embed_size()
 { 
 return array( 'width' => 935, 'height' => 525 );
 }

I also used this css so that when viewed from mobile devices the width of the embeded object would be so tall.

embed,
iframe,
object,
script,
video {
margin-bottom: 1.6em;
max-width: 100% !important;
vertical-align: middle !important;
min-height:250px;
}

None of these options are working anymore does anyone have a solution.

Have you added any plugins that might override them? Perhaps upping the priority might help. add_filter( 'embed_defaults', 'bigger_embed_size', 100 ); – Ben Casey Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 8:24
I don't think i've added any plugin that would effect media sizes – Terrell Anderson Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 8:26
and upping the priority didn't help :( – Terrell Anderson Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 8:27
silly question, but sometimes its those that answer the problem, is the add_filter actually running? try die('HERE') right before it and ensure that "HERE" is the only thing printed to the screen. Otherwise try looking for PHP errors. – Ben Casey Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 8:29
is it public so we can see the issue? – Ben Casey Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 8:29

Sorted by: Reset to default 0

This is what I crafted to override the defaults, I set a default media width, choose an aspect ratio (16:9) and then replace the video shortcode output.

$defaultMediaWidth = 960;

if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
  $content_width = $defaultMediaWidth;
}
add_filter( 'embed_defaults', 'bigger_embed_size');

function bigger_embed_size()
{
  global $content_width;
  $width = $content_width;
  // aspect ratio 16:9
  $r1 = 16;
  $r2 = 9;
  $r = $width / $r1;
  $height = $r * $r2;

  return array( 'width' => $width, 'height' => $height );
}

function EMP_video_shortcode_override(
  $output = '',
  $atts = [],
  $video = '',
  $post_id = 0,
  $library = ''
){
  $defaults = wp_embed_defaults();
  $searchfor = [
    'width="' . $atts['width'] . '"',
    'width: ' . $atts['width'] . 'px;',
    'height="' . $atts['height'] . '"'
  ];
  $replaceto = [
    'width="' . $defaults['width'] . '"',
    'width:' . $defaults['width'] . 'px;',
    'height="' . $defaults['height'] . '"'
  ];
  return str_ireplace( $searchfor, $replaceto, $output );
}
add_filter('wp_video_shortcode', 'EMP_video_shortcode_override', 10 , 5);
