How to edit side padding,leading etc

  • Hi, I can’t figure out how to fix the side padding on my site: https://10in30.com/super-secret-butt-shaping-members-only-workout-exposed/

    See how the body text goes right up to the sides and hits the lines? Gross.

    Also I’d like to edit the line spacing on my H tags. My H1, H2, H3 tags are so tight they look like mistakes. But sometimes they are actually ok. What gives??

    I tried to use the Inspect function in Chrome and looked up the tags in the style.css but it didn’t change anything.

  • Hi doland,

    (1) Regarding the right margin in the main content (left) column of your site, you could add the following CSS to your child theme.

    .entry-content p {margin-right: 30px;}

    (2) For a number of the <h3> on the page that you shared, there are lots of <span> within the <h3>, suggesting that you are using the WYSIWYG editor to edit the look and feel of those heading tags. I’d suggest that it’s better to leave those sort of edits to your CSS. I’d try stripping out the WYSIWYG edits and digging into the CSS a bit more.

    Hi Liam, thanks but it didn’t work. I added it to the style.css in the “Edit Themes”page which reads “Templates
    This child theme inherits templates from a parent theme, Zerif Lite.”

    Is that where I was supposed to add that?

    Hi Doland,

    Are you editing the CSS within the WordPress dashboard? If so, then yeah, you’ll go to Appearance > Editor > style.css. Make sure that you’re putting that bit of code in the child theme.

    Can you please try that or confirm that you have done that?

    Thanks!
