Margins, width of content

  • Hi —

    I’m very new to this but I’m trying to figure out how to adjust the width of my content on every page, or increasing my margins. I’d love to be able to do this in the Custom CSS part in the appearance menu, as I haven’t ventured into child themes yet. Any help out there? I would show you, but my site isn’t live yet..

    Thanks -Jenny

  • Hey, Jenny!

    Try the following to set your left and right margins:

    margins-left: 20px !important;
    margins-right: 20px !important;

    It would pretty much be the same for margins-top and margins-bottom, if you need them.

    Also, there’s the padding-left, -right, -top, and -bottom. Difference is, margins affect the outside of your content. Paddings affect the inside.

    Thank you, but no luck! what am I missing?? I’ve tried a couple different things, but nothing seems to work. I basically want my main body text flush left and right with my featured image. Any other ideas?

    Jenny,

    Send me the link to your site, and I’ll take a look at it. I’m fixing to leave here for the day in about 15 minutes, but I’ll be home later this evening, and I can take a look at it then.

    So this is probably the dumbest question ever…but I have a lot of them. I haven’t made my site live yet, can I still send you a link or way to look at it? (Sorry, I’m a total beginner)
