Reduce whitespace above and below page title

If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a section for CSS modifications then do the following:

1. Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin
2. use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:
3. (put this code in)

   
   .site-content {
       padding-top: 1em;
   }
   
   .page-header {
       padding-bottom: 0;
   }
   

4. Save

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

thanx, that works for the space above the title, but not for below.
In fact, changing the parameter in padding-bottom doesn’t change anything I think.

Any solution for the whitespace below the page title and the text?

PS: I use a child-theme, yes
And do the changes made in the customizer>extra css stay when you update twenty-seventeen?

You’ll have to show us the page you are referring to.

Yes. The only thing I would say is to use either the Child Theme or the Extra CSS option so that you don’t have CSS in 2 places. It becomes unmanageable that way.

Try this code instead:

.site-content {
    padding-top: 1em;
}

.page-header {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
    .page.page-one-column .entry-header, 
    .twentyseventeen-front-page.page-one-column .entry-header, 
    .archive.page-one-column:not(.has-sidebar) .page-header {
        margin-bottom: 0;
    }
}

the last one works! thanx!

And just curious: what does @media screen and (min-width: 48em) mean?
What does it add to the changes?

That line says ‘If the screen is larger than 48ems wide (around 768px) then apply the subsequent CSS inside the { }’. What we’re doing is just overriding what was already there.
For example, Twenty Seventeen was applying this style:

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
    .page.page-one-column .entry-header, 
    .twentyseventeen-front-page.page-one-column .entry-header, 
    .archive.page-one-column:not(.has-sidebar) .page-header {
        margin-bottom: 4em;
    }
}

In this site for example I don’t see the CSS modifications in your Child Theme style.css file: https://beenhakkers.nl/

I just need to debug where they appear.

I try them out in the customiser > extra CSS and when it works fine I transfer them to the child-theme. It works fine now, at first the page didn’t refresh ??

Okay great, I’ll mark this topic resolved.
