Are you using Firebug to work with the CSS? * Thread Starter [aasbd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aasbd/) * (@aasbd) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3212970) * Yes, firebug works. I want to change left, right and bottom padding. If I want zero for all how can I do it? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3212973) * left, right and bottom of what? Which element? * Thread Starter [aasbd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aasbd/) * (@aasbd) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3212982) * I mean make padding zero from left, right and from bottom of my site. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3212985) * This is the padding on the sides of the pages: * ``` body { padding: 0 2em; } ``` * There is no padding on the bottom of the pages, but perhaps you mean padding in the footer section — which is here: * ``` #site-generator { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9; border-top: 1px solid #DDDDDD; color: #666666; font-size: 12px; line-height: 2.2em; padding: 2.2em 0.5em; text-align: center; } ``` * Be sure to copy the relevant code changes to your child theme and make them there. * Thread Starter [aasbd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aasbd/) * (@aasbd) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3212998) * Thanks for help. It worked for footer section but in body it did not work. I put body {padding: 0 2em;} this code in style.css section but it did not work. Would you kindly check again? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3212999) * Firebug should provide enough tools for you to explore CSS-based issues.

The whole page, the content, the sidebar, etc. * Thread Starter [aasbd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aasbd/) * (@aasbd) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3213018) * I mean left side of menubar and footer of my site and probably in body too. If you look footer of my site you will see a little white gap in the left side of footer and menu bar. How can I do it into zero? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-removal/#post-3213019) * I don’t see any white gaps — sorry. I do see the grey margin space around the entire site?
