Hi There @anncox1289

Thanks for writing in! I have checked your site and I see the above space is coming from X Gap element / shortcode.

To reduce the gap below, you need to check the padding on the sections.

Hope that helps.

thnx

[anncox1289]

Hi there,

There are some empty <p> tags that are on the page that is causing the spaces. It could be that you have some blank line breaks on the page content. If so, kindly remove the empty lines or please try adding this code to the Global CSS:

p:empty {
    display: none;
}

Hope this helps.

thanks for the response. i am not sure what you mean by empty? the p tags contain words. I don’t want to remove them because then they will not be denoted as paragraphs and there will be no distinguishing between them and headlines. are you recommending i remove the p tags? what good would that do?

Hi There,

No, don’t remove your <p> tags, Jade is referring to the empty <p> tags that Wordpress is generating in the frontend. That usually happens when you do a force-break (hitting enter) when writing your content or when you paste a content that has a formatting on it (e.g. a copy from a word file). The CSS code she provided above should take care of that.

I don’t see any extra space on your page now would you mind to point us the other extra spaces left?

Have you tried using Cornerstone? it’s much easier to build your page in Cornerstone.
