• Can we see better widget spacing in the next release? It is hard to see where one widget ends and the next starts they seem to close together.

  • You can change it with CSS? Link to site would help

    …or simply insert a text widget containing </br> between your main widgets.

    …or insert a <hr> between the widgets.

    …or give the widget headings a bit more line height.

    …or add a soup?on of margin-bottom html to each widget.

    …or what Dave said.

    This should not be something the users need to change in CSS it should have enough spacing in the theme.

    As an example my blog https://benjaminkerensa.com

    I know. I’m still angry that I had to write my own posts. That should all be automated.

    Is there somewhere we can apply for a refund?

    I don’t think you understand but appropriate widget spacing is standard for most themes. As far as making changes yourself unless your using a child theme any updates will revert changes made which is why its better to have them made to the theme itself by the developer.

    appropriate widget spacing is standard for most themes

    Please define “most themes”. I’ve created dozens of themes and I don’t think spacing of widgets has been standard on any of them.

    unless your using a child theme any updates will revert changes

    So why not use a custom CSS plugin?

    The widget spacing isn’t in fact defined by the theme. It’s defined by the underlying twitter bootstrap framework, which the theme uses.

    The theme has a Custom CSS panel inside Appearance > Customize. Any CSS you add there will be kept safe between upgrades (as it would also in a child theme).

    In this case, if you want the widgets to be slimmer, you can simply add the following to your Custom CSS:

    #footer_one .textwidget,
    #footer_two .textwidget,
    #footer_three .textwidget {
        padding-left: 10px;
        padding-right: 10px;
    }

    (assuming you’ve added text widgets; adjust accordingly if not).
