You actually should not be modifying the style.css file at all – if you do, your changes will be overwritten and lost when WP is updated. Instead, use a Child Theme or custom CSS plugin such as JetPack. Once you have that set up, you can add CSS that will override the existing CSS code – Firebug is a great tool to help you find the CSS you’d need to change. Or set up the custom CSS or child theme and post back here with a link to your site and someone can likely help you.

Hi WPyogi;
I’m jonathanarzola’s partner. We just created the child theme, we called the style.css file and everything is working great; however we don’t know which class to edit in order to adjust the margin or padding of the content since there is a big white space between the header image and the actual content.
Someone please help us!
thanks
Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.
I was wondering the same thing jonathanarzola and ebenexer357 are looking for without using Firebug
I figure someone must have figured this out before…..since this was done in 2011. Yikes help
Without a link to a live site, no way to help with CSS questions. Do you have a Child Theme or custom CSS set up?
CSS as I can’t do a child theme at this time as I don’t have ftp access. Only making a few minor changes
Would appreciate the help.

Andrew of course that doesn’t work. I am very
accustomed to working in html but this CSS is
hinky in comparison.

You haven’t expressed your issue enough.
Just like the people above the space under the Menu bar
it too large before you have the first text line “Welcome to….”
I thought that would be a simple fix but no so simple after all.

Well, it is simple, that’s why we recommend using Firebug or a similar browser developer tool.
Remove the code I recommended and add this;
.singular.page .hentry, .singular .hentry {
padding-top: 0;
}
Anyway, why are you posting if you know it’s a simple fix? Surely you can figure it out.
I tried firebug but it was no help which is why I came back here thanks for the info.
