[Plugin: Toolbox] Space between body and page

OP here ??

I managed to find:

html {
margin-top: 28px !important;
}
and found I cannot over-ride it in a child theme

ie

html {
margin-top: 0px !important;
}

Is this what is causing this horizontal space?

If so how can I get rid of it?

Same issue…there is also a space under the footer. Somebody found the solution?

Apologies on the late reply.

This is to do with the way child element margins effect the parent element position in the box model. The space is caused by the margin of the #site-title element inside the header. It’s called ‘collapsing margins’. There’s some good info on it here: https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html

The fix is simply:
#site-title {
margin: 0;
}

Marking as Resolved

I’m having this issue as well, the site title did not fix it. I’m also having an issue with spacing below the footer..
