Hi Benjamin,

Please kindly go to the Cornerstone page builder and open up the homepage with it. Then click on the magnifying glass icon of the first section that you added:

There you will see the Padding control group has a default 45 pixels as a top and bottom padding. Set them to 0 and you should have no problem with the top/bottom spacing.

kindly get back to us with the result of the steps above and URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard using the Secure Note functionality of the post to follow up the case if you still have problems.

Thank you.

This didn’t work I sent a secure note. Padding was already at 0

Hi Benjamin,

The padding is still there. Kindly make sure to get rid of it:

Then add this code in X > Theme Options > CSS:

.page .hentry .entry-wrap {
    padding: 0 0;
}

Hope this helps.

@jade

.page .hentry .entry-wrap { padding: 0 0; }

This did help. There is still space, though. Especially bad at the bottom. Any way to get rid of some of the space at the bottom and make the header thinner?

Hello Benjamin,

The given credentials no longer work for us. Anyways, you are having the spacing problem above because of your Navbar Top Height. Please go to X > Theme Options > Header > Navbar and set the “Navbar Top Height” to 68 pixels instead of 25.
And lastly, to remove the spacing in your footer, kindly go to X > Theme Options > Footers and set the “Footer Widgets Areas” to none so that the space below with not be displayed.

If this does not work, please update the credentials above so that we can check your Theme Options settings.

Hi Benjamin,

I don’t see the top blank space on my end now.

Regarding the footer.

This space here

Is the bottom padding of your Section, please inspect your section and set the bottom padding to 0.

These other white space are the footer’s top and bottom padding.

If you need to reduce or remove that padding you need to do it via custom CSS.

 .x-colophon.bottom {
/*Your CSS RULE HERE*/
 }

You can find the proper CSS code selector using the Chrome browser Developer Toolbar
For the CSS code itself, I suggest that you get started with this tutorial

If you are more interested in having control over all aspects of the footer I suggest that you consider the Pro theme which has a Footer builder and you can use various elements to create a footer.

Cheers!

The primary item to get rid of is the space below the header itself

Hello Benjamin,

I went ahead and resolved the issue for you. As it turns out, you have not found the padding option in the section settings because the Advance mode is turn OFF.

If you don’t see some of style options in the element settings, you need to turn on the Advanced Mode by going to the Settings > Preferences > Advanced Mode

Best Regards.
