Changing Padding

  • I would like to change the padding around each post and have this be default. I have tried all the usual ways – through the widget, using the editor, etc….The link included goes to one of the posts. All I am trying to do is place padding around the words because they are sucked up against the wall of the post. I am sure this is simple, but not for me apparently. ?? I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

  • To add padding, you would have to use your theme’s stylesheet and add custom CSS to it.

    For example, in the WP admin, go to Appearance > Editor > style.css and add the following:

    .hentry {
    margin: 40px;
    }

    However, it looks like you are using a paid theme Suffice Pro. Make sure you have a child theme so that when your theme has updates, you won’t lose your CSS change. (https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)

    Child themes like asterbird suggests are cool because you can store all of your site customization code there. However, for simple CSS changes, you could instead use the current theme’s Additional CSS panel in the customizer. Such additions are safe from theme updates. Certain commercial themes do not accommodate child themes. This may or may not be the case for your theme, IDK.

    I’m moving your topic to Fixing WordPress forum. CSS requests belong there, Developing WordPress is for more advanced development discussion. We know it’s not very intuitive. The logic is along the line of “My site doesn’t look the way I want it to, I want to fix the appearance.” ??
