space above and below main wrapper container

  • Hello, started a new job in a library and I am in charge of the wordpress website. I am sort of comfortable with css and html. I changed the main wrapper container background color but there is a space at the very top and at the bottom that didn’t change. I went through the whole style sheet and can’t seem to find anything. I used Firebug to try to identify these spaces and the tool to select doesn’t work on these spaces.

    Can anyone please help? This is our website…

    Thanks!

    If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then install this Custom CSS Manager plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin

    Then use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:

    Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications:

    #site {
    margin-top: 0;
}

    Thank you, Andrew. This eliminated the margin, but margins are transparent and don’t have a background-color, correct? So, do you know where the color is being set? I want the margin, but I want to change the color. Same at the footer. We are using the Dandelion theme, if that makes any difference.

    Thank you for your help!
    It’s been driving me crazy…
