    Hello. I have searched the forums and so far no result has worked. I have a large dead white space above the header and behind the transparent nav bar. All places for padding or margin have been set to 0 with no change. The Hero area is off. I am using latest versions of Sydney (and the child theme: same result in both), Elementor, and WordPress. I could use Elementor but I don’t want to make the margin -320. I need to get rid of this space. Anyone help? Thanks.

  • Hi @kmc2014,

    If you have a large hero section at the top, you would need to enable Sydney Canvas page layout. https://i.snipboard.io/FRnzti.jpg

    Yes I tried all the page layouts. It still doesn’t eliminate the white space. Usually the slider/header starts at the top with the navigation bar overlapping it. Instead the navigation bar overlaps white space with a little left over until the slider/header starts. It still does it in Sydney Canvas, although it lessens the amount. Do I have to just use Elementor and make the top margin -160 to get rid of the white space? That seems odd.

    Thanks for getting back, @kmc2014!

    I saw you are now using Front Page template. In inspected the empty space comes from particular Elementor component of your first section (that shows the video background). I guess it is padding setting.

    You should find the padding setting and set it to 0.

    Or, for quicker option, you may add this CSS code to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS from dashboard:

    .elementor-6 .elementor-widget-wrap {
            padding-top: 0 !important;
            padding-bottom: 0 !important;
    }

    Ok. All padding is set to zero. I can’t find a spot where it is not. I added the snippet into CSS, it moved it up slightly but not so the nav bar overlaps. I guess I’ll have to move the margin into the negative to correct the white issue.
