# Padding Adding Rectangle

 * Hello! When I add padding to my columns on this page, on certain ones, I’m getting
   a rectangle next to it in what would be the next column but I don’t want a 2nd
   column. I have no idea what’s causing it but I can only assume I made a CSS error
   along the way. Any idea how I can keep the padding but get rid of those rogue
   white rectangles? Thanks in advance!

 * Remove the padding from the div itself and pad the contents
 *     ```
       .wpb_wrapper p {
           padding-left: 1em;
           padding-right: 1em;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). That works
   for the side padding but I need padding at the bottom of the div and even when
   I pad the elements and add it to the bottom, I’m still getting the additional
   rectangle showing up to the side.

 * When you pad the div, it becomes non-zero in height and thus visible. It appears
   you’re using a commercial plugin, WP Bakery, to add those divs. Try removing 
   the one(s) on the right.
 * If you need assistance with that, please contact their support directly as commercial
   plugins are not supported in these forums.
