The Ability to Align oEmbedded Content

[jeffr0]

Unlike images, you can't easily align oEmbeded content in WordPress. When clicking the Pencil icon to edit the content, there's no option to change its alignment.

While there is a plugin that adds oEmbed styling ​https://wordpress.org/plugins/oembed-styling/, I think it's something that should be a core behavior. At the very least, core should provide a set of oEmbed CSS Classes that themes can adopt to allow users to control the alignment within the post editor.

One example is Slideshare. When I copy and paste a Slideshare link into the Visual editor, it aligns it to the left. When I click on the Pencil icon to edit the content, the only things I can manipulate is the URL and Maximum width/Maximum Height.

I searched the WordPress.org support forums to see how popular of a request this is and most of the responses are from 5 years ago before oEmbed was added to WordPress. I also searched Trac to see if a ticket requesting this had already been filed and came up empty.

It would be nice to be able to click the pencil and enter specific controls added for embeds.
Aligning and resizing would be nice.

This is no longer relevant after the merge of the block editor, where it should be fixed. Let's preserve the way it's currently built for the classic editor.
