Title: post padding css Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # post padding css * Resolved [designandinternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/design-and-internet/) * (@design-and-internet) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-padding-css/) * Hi All * I have managed to use this CSS code for the my blog with success: * .page-template-template-magazine #navigation { margin-bottom: 30px; } * Result: * [http://www.designandinternet.co.uk/blog](http://www.designandinternet.co.uk/blog) * But the posts are still squashed next to primary navigation. Can anyone help with the correct css for individual posts e.g. * [http://www.designandinternet.co.uk/central-park-nyc/](http://www.designandinternet.co.uk/central-park-nyc/) * Need some help with padding. * Thanks Mark Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-padding-css/#post-7210137) * Try removing this bit: * ``` .page-template-template-magazine ``` * Thread Starter [designandinternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/design-and-internet/) * (@design-and-internet) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-padding-css/#post-7210141) * Thanks Andrew. * Sadly didn’t work. Went back to no padding on both blog and individual posts. * Here is the full custom css on the the child theme: * #contact-page ol.forms textarea { height: 80px; } * #portfolio { padding-left: 50px; } * .nocomments { display: none; } * #nav-container #navigation { background: none; } * .page-template-template-magazine #navigation { margin-bottom: 30px; } * Any other suggestions? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-padding-css/#post-7210142) * Sounds like a CSS specificity issue, try this instead: * ``` body #navigation { margin-bottom: 30px; } ``` * Thread Starter [designandinternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/design-and-internet/) * (@design-and-internet) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-padding-css/#post-7210144) * Well done – that’s worked.
