Blocks – my block spacing has disappeared

  • Blocks: I have many pages of paragraphs and image blocks – but all appear not to have the normal spacing between them. In the block editor it appears as intended – a line of space between two Paragraph Blocks. But in the page it has no vertical space between paragraphs, and headings and images are butted up against the text above and below. My only workaround is to manually insert a spacer or line return – hardly the correct way of doing things.

    The link shows solid text without paragraph breaks – in the editor it displays all the intended breaks with correct space.

    I have previewed using a different theme and the error remains – so this is an issue with how Blocks are handled. I don’t recall this was the behaviour when I installed this theme. Has anyone an insight as to how this may have occurred?

    I am not a coder so would appreciated a simple pointer as to where I can revert this issue to the defaults. Thanks

  • The reason you are losing your paragraph spacing is because of this CSS on line 1 of the file hkll1.css:

    ul.resp-tabs-list, p {
    margin: 0px !important;
    padding: 0px !important;
}

    You can see the behavior by using your browser developer tools. I use the Chrome inspect tool.

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for the swift response.

    So to re-instate the padding shall I insert CSS as below?
    I presume in the theme’s customise, additional CSS?
    It would be nice to know how this got corrupted. It is certainly not an attribute I would have fiddled with.

    ul.resp-tabs-list, p {
    margin: 0px !important;
    padding: 15px !important;
    }

    I think the change you made looks good!
