Column Padding Settings Ignored if under a certain size

  • Hi there, I’m working with a Kendracoaching.com (Beaver Builder Lite, Receptar theme) and am having some trouble reducing the padding on specific columns, leaving weird spaces between vertical elements. When I edit the top and bottom padding in column settings, the space changes accordingly (under the editing box) until I hit save, when it reverts to its original size. The values are saved in the column settings, but don’t seem to have any effect.

    I tried using global settings to manually set the padding of .fl-col-content to a smaller value, which seemed to fix the issue for all columns, but only while the page builder is active. Once I exit the builder, the padding reverts until I open it for editing in page builder again. The inspector also pointed out the class “.home.is-singular” and I’ve gotten similar results editing that both by itself and in combination with .fl-col-content.

    Any idea what’s going on? Is it a theme conflict somewhere? Thanks!

    Hey Jptiger,

    Thanks for getting in touch!

    It sounds like a caching issue. Do you have any form of caching active on your site? Can you try clearing its cache or turning it off completely, and recheck for the issue? ??

    Hey Ben,

    Thanks for writing back! Glad to see you guys support this kind of thing even for the Lite plugin.

    You’re right, the site does use caching. It’s hosted on a GoDaddy dedicated wordpress package and they seem to have a server-level caching. They do you allow to load pages by appending ?nocache to any URL, but I don’t know URL encoding well enough to both do that and have the Page Builder active.

    Here’s what I’ve tried instead:

    1. Flushed the cache
    2. Edited the padding (reverts as usual even before publishing changes)
    3. Loaded the normal page with ?nocache
    4.Cleared the chache again after editing padding settings.

    Still having the same issue.

    I’ve done some more digging and found the default values that it keeps reverting to in the Receptar style sheet:

    .fl-col-content { padding: 1.62rem .81rem; }
					.home.is-singular .fl-col-content { padding: 3.62rem 1.81rem; }

    I tried overriding them with custom CSS, even by giving the exact same classes lower values in my child theme, but it keeps reverting to these values instead. Do you think I should be taking this up with whoever made the theme?

    Thanks again!

    Ah, gotcha! That would be correct in that you’d need to contact the theme author. You won’t be able to add any padding to the column via our Column Settings on the homepage since the style from .home.is-singular .fl-col-content will always override it. ??
