 * Hi, I’m using a theme which is this one:
    [http://shopkeeper.getbowtied.com/my-account/](http://shopkeeper.getbowtied.com/my-account/)
 * On the account page, there is a huge gap at the top often hiding the form to 
   fill out to create an account or login.
 * do you know what css file I need to edit and what part of the code I need to 
   change to move the form up so you can see it without scrolling?
 * Thanks,
 * Robyn

 * This may be more of a spacing issue than css. When you look at the my-account
   page in the editor, remove any or most of the top space or padding above Login.
 * If that doesn’t help, add space or padding to the bottom of the page.
 * The goal for these two changes is to place the login higher on the page.
 * If that doesn’t help can you turn off paralex for just this page?

 * Hi, on the account page in the backend there is only a short code woocomerce.
   The spacing must be on the FTP files somewhere. Been trying to find the files
   on the ftp site but I cant find it.
 * If I use chrome inspect I found this code:
 * page_wrapper.sticky_header .content-area, #page_wrapper.transparent_header .content-
   area {
    margin-top: 143px; Index: 427
 * if I make the margin 0px on chrome inspect it fixes it, but I cant find that 
   code on the FTP site!
 * would you know what file that would be on in the ftp site?

 * You should not be modifying any files directly – as those changes will be lost
   when the theme is updated – try ADDING this to custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .page-id-9 #primary {
           margin-top: 0 !important;
           padding-top: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * For additional help, please contact the developer of your theme – as these forums

   just told me to use chrome inspect tool and try to work it out myself.
