# Element Spacing Issues

 * I’m currently developing a site using the Twenty Seventeen Theme, [http://www.theicpodcast.com](http://www.theicpodcast.com),
   and I’m having major issues with element spacing and padding. There’s too much
   vertical space between the nav menu and the “Home” Title, and too much space 
   in-between the “Home” title and the actual content for that section, and it’s
   an issue with every single section on my site. I know that the space is likely
   there because this theme usually has accompanying photos with the sections, but
   I’ve taken those out, as they’re just not needed for what I’m doing. Any help
   on resolving this?

 * 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 [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
    2. use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](https://s.w.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=1288706)
       to hold your CSS modifications:
    3.  (put this code in)
    4.     ```
           .page-one-column .panel-content .wrap {
               padding: 1em 0 .5em;
           }
       
           .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: 1em;
           }
           ```
       
    5. Save
 * _Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications_
