cannot get rid of the space between the sidebar and main topic

  • Howdy!
    I am having problems with the area on my page between the “main topic” section of the page and the “sidebar”.
    I am using “oceanwp theme” and on my page Piedmontese.ca there is the main topic section with a black line running up and down the page between the main topic and side bar. When you go to the right side of the black line, there is like an inch of “blank space” that runs up and down the page between the “black up and down line,” and where the widgets pictures begin. The widget pictures and contact form are “squished” if you will and do not fill out the sidebar space. I have tried re-sizing the main topic section and the side bar in the “customize” tab and there is still like an inch of space between the black up and down line and where the pictures in the widgets began.
    Either the main topic gets squished or the pictures in the side bar gets squished, but the inch of blank space between the two remains. Is there any way to resize the widget space to fill out the sidebar properly that a ‘Newbie” can do?? I hope I everyone understands what I am trying to say..
    thanks

  • Hello,

    Have you added padding for the widget area? Try to add the below code to the Customize > Custom CSS section to fix the sidebar padding issue – 

    aside#right-sidebar {
    padding-left: 30px !important;
}

    I am not sure how to get where I need to go–I went to “customize” and scrolled down to “additional css”and then I am not sure what to do..
    or I can go to –customize–“sidebar” and then there is two places–one says “background color: and then below it says “Padding” and it says 0 (top) —0 (right)—0 ( bottom ) 80 (“left”}
    Then one goes down and it says “widgets”–background color– then padding and that one says 0 right across the list- 0 for top- 0 for right–0 for left and 0–for bottom. I am thinking that the top menu that has 0-0-0-80 is possibly the one I need but am not sure..
    Sorry I am a newbie…
    thanks
