    Hello, after updating to 5.7 tonight few hours ago, I just found that on all my webpages it’s showing unnecessary whitespace/padding. You can check my contact page of my website as an example. Under “How Can I Help You” there is almost 30px whitespace and then the contact form. Not only on this page, I am getting this on some other pages as well. What can be the issue here?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hiya,

    This is because you’ve got an empty paragraph of content in your content in this position. Empty paragraphs are likely not injected by WordPress, but paragraphs in general were changed slightly to look similar in the editor as they do in the public facing part of your site. It is possible you may have intentionally added them in the past to create space between the title and content?

    Hello @clorith nope I don’t have any empty paragraph there.

    I found the issue but not the solution yet.

    Wherever I use <p> tag is creating this whitespace.

    In every place I used this to align <p style="text-align: center;">Hello</p> the content center or justify put a 30px padding on both top and bottom of the paragraph.

    What can be the solution here? The alignment is important, so removing them is not certainly the option for me.

    @mortenhede the same for you. Yours article is justified and as you used the tags <p style="text-align: justify;">Hello</p> to justify it put the space above and below of the paragraph.

    @mortenhede not sure.

    I am trying to do something on my staging site. I will let you know if I can do anything there.

    Put this on your CSS editor And your problem will be solved ??

    body p:empty:before {
    content: none;
}

    Thanks.

    Thank-you, Thank-you … so simple … -petra
