If you don’t want to install the FitVids for WordPress plugin, then you can add FitVids jQuery plugin manually. First thing you need to do is download and extract FitVids jQuery plugin to your computer. Now you need to upload the extracted FitVids.js-master folder to your theme’s js directory.
You need to connect to your website using an FTP client like Filezilla and open your theme directory. It is possible that your WordPress theme may not have a js folder. If it is not there, then you need to create one and then upload FitVids.js-master folder from your computer.

(function($) {
$(document).ready(function(){
// Target your .container, .wrapper, .post, etc.
$(".post").fitVids();
});
})(jQuery);
The above code tells FitVids to look for .post CSS selector class. Now that you got FitVids ready, it is time to properly add javascripts in your WordPress theme.

wp_enqueue_script('fitvids', get_template_directory_uri() . 'https://cdn3.wpbeginner.com/js/FitVids.js-master/jquery.fitvids.js', array('jquery'), '', TRUE);
wp_enqueue_script('fitvids-xtra', get_template_directory_uri() . 'https://cdn4.wpbeginner.com/js/FitVids.js', array(), '', TRUE);
