 * I updated to the new version of The Events Calendar today. I was using Tribe 
   Events Styles: Blank Canvas template. After the update, my list view of events
   shows with a lot of extra spacing between lines. It used to view the same as 
   the “Events Template” only without changing the color of the page. I have currently
   switched to the events template, but this template changes the background color
   of the page and does not view as nicely (in terms of my theme header) as the 
   blank canvas. Anyone know how to remove all the extra spacing and make it more
   compact like the events template page?

 * Howdy FVacademy,
 * Modern Tribe employees can not provide much assistance with customizations on
   the volunteer forums here. However we do have an awesome community of volunteers
   that might be able to help you. But in order to help you they will probably need
   a link to your site to examine the issues you’ve described.
 * I hope someone comes along. Cheers!
    – Brook

 * Hi. Thanks for the link.
 * Your site has a lot of spacing added on `<p>` tags.
 * Maybe something like this can help?
 *     ```
       body p {
       margin-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can add custom CSS code via your child theme’s style.css file or via a plugin
   like [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/) or,
   my favorite, [Jetpack](https://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/). Jetpack supports
   regular CSS and the LESS and Sass pre-processors.
 * If you’re not a CSS expert, Jetpack’s [Custom Design reference](https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/view-all/)
   may prove helpful.
 * Please let me know how it goes for you.

 * I tried adding it in the CSS editor a couple different ways:
 *     ```
       .tribe-events-list {
       body p {
       margin-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 *     ```
       .tribe-events-list {
       margin-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Neither one did anything to remove all the extra spacing. Thanks for the suggestion.

 * Hey,
 * Actually, the correct CSS syntax should be `.tribe-events-list p {
    margin-bottom:
   5px !important; }`
 * Hope this helps!

 * Thank you, that did help (a little)! There is still a lot of extra space, though.
