Help find margin-top CSS style added to html tag

I am so new at this, but here it goes. I just purchased a custom design feature through wordpress for $30 that advertises itself as this: “Have full presentational control over your blog’s theme with CSS” I was stunned by own ability to get in there and really customize my site with minimal knowledge of code and CSS. My results have been great.

If it’s part of your theme, it’s somewhere in your stylesheet files. style.css can be found in your theme’s foot folder, while different styles of the same theme may hold stylesheets that may be found in your theme’s other directories.
-First, make sure it’s not in your style.css stylesheet found in your appearance editor.
-Next, think back – does your theme come with multiple options that change the appearance of the site on the front end? Often, you can find stylesheets in your wp-content/theme/css, or something like that. It may be on that stylesheet.
-Finally, tell me specifically what part of the site has the margin tag you want to change, and I’ll try to locate it.

tommycopeland…thank you.

The unwanted margin is found at the top of index, single, category and search/archive pages. I searched for the various css files you mentioned and did not find them. I also used a text editor to multi-file-search for internal css and element css with no luck.

Thanks for offering to try to find the css rule. BTW, I’m using the old Kubrick default theme. Pat

I went through all of your stylesheets for the theme, widgets, everything…couldn’t find margin-top: 28px !important;. In what divisor (header, footer, content, body, etc.) does the renegade margin appear?

It comes from the wordpress admin bar…. an inbuilt feature of WP.

Are you trying to disable the bar? Or is it not appearing?

Ah, duh…thanks Rev

tommy and Rev.

Many thanks…just knowing the gap appears only when logged in is great. Disappeared the admin panel in user controls…works like a charm. Free pizza (world’s best) next time either of you are in Chicago area. Pat
