I would like to reduce the margins/paddings above and below my footer widgets. I’ve noticed I’m not the first to ask, but I’ve tried six or seven solutions suggested in other threads and none of these seem to work for me.

Hi Joao,

Thank you, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to change anything.

Hi there,

I have added the following CSS rules for you.

.x-colophon.top {
     padding: 2% 0 2% 0 !important;
}
.x-colophon.bottom {
    padding: 0;
}

Let us know if that helps.

Hi there,

That’s perfect, thanks! 🙂

One further question, though:
I had been trying to add all suggestions in dashboard/appearance/editor/style.css (to put it in my childtheme, I thought) but this is in customizer/custom css. If I remember correctly, that means it will disappear with the next update. Is there a way to put it in my childtheme forever and ever?

Hi There,

Don’t worry, the custom CSS under Customizer > Custom > Global CSS will be safe when you update the theme / plugin.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reassurance. You guys and gals are the greatest!

Hi Geert,

The content on Appearance > Customize > Custom > Edit Global CSS will not disappear on theme updates. It is in the database. But feel free to move it on you child theme style.css file.
