 * Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove the padding above the header so it’s
   against the top of the page? I can’t seem to find an option for that.
 * Thank you

 * This didn’t work for me. I tried adding the css to the theme customization css
   as well as the WP editor (child theme, of course)
 * I tried this:
    .header-bg { padding-top: 0px; }
 * and I tried this:
    .header-bg { padding: 0rem 0; }

 * Hi Vicki_B,
 * You can add this css on your additional css section of customizer or can take
   help of child theme.
 *     ```
       .header-box .logo img {
           padding-top: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note: Increase/decrease padding-top value as per your requireemnt.
 * Let us know how it works for you.
 * Thanks
