How to center oEmbedded content

  1. After some Googling, I found a solution that was originally done for a Twitter embed, but I modified it to work with all oEmbed contents. Keep in mind that for this to work on existing posts, you’ll need to do an “update” for the oEmbed content to refresh from the cache.

    add_filter('oembed_result','center_oembed',10,3);
function center_oembed($html, $url, $args) {
    $html = '<p style="text-align: center;">' . $html . '</p>';
    return $html;
}

  2. Quick and dirty CSS fix I came up with for Twitter oEmbed (.entry-content is specific to the theme):

    .entry-content > iframe {
    margin: 0 auto !important;
}

    Seems to work, YMMV.
