EDIT

Make sure you are not logged in when you are checking your pages?

This is what I have done so far and it removed the word EDIT but still has the blank space at the top where I would like the paragraph to start. I also am showing that I edited line 3202 to make the theme show as full width. Not sure if that was wrong, if so I will start a new thread for that. Below are the Changes I have made to the Twenty Seventeen theme. I made these changes to the style.css I believe
Obviously, I am sure you can tell I am no coder.=)

Changed Line 3203

.page-one-column .panel-content .wrap {
max-width: full;
}

(it was originally 740px)

Changed Line 2256

.page .entry-header .edit-link {
font-size: 14px;
font-size: 0.875rem;
}

max-width requires length or percentage. 740px was the designed width, alternate full width would be 100% to stretch the width to the entire bounding box.

There have been other threads about the space problem and some answers.

So you are saying that the blank space issue on my pages is from the line I changed to full?

Can I ask, where are making the changes to the CSS? If you are changing this is the theme css file then this will be overwritten once the theme is updated.

If you are looking to make a few changes then i would suggest you add to the Customise > Addition CSS from the wordpress menu.

Just looked at you About page, seems the white space is covering up some text?

I dont think you need to make the changes that you have posted above. Take them out, check out the two links that i sent you, add the code and adjust the values until you get what you are looking for.
