 * Good day all
 * I’m having trouble removing a strange margin on the right of my site.
 * I’m using the Minima theme which had that margin all around the page. I removed
   the rest of the margins with this additional CSS but the right hand side won’t
   go away:
 * .site {
    margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-left: 0; }
 * Can anyone help with this? I suspect it may have something to do with my page
   width but I don’t quite know.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremoving-strange-margin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * add !important
 *     ```
       .site {
       margin-right: 0 !important;
       margin-bottom: 0 !important;
       margin-top: 0 !important;
       margin-left: 0 !important;
       }
       ```

 * perhaps you should remove the code you’ve added
 *     ```
       .site {
       margin-right: 0;
       margin-bottom: 0;
       margin-top: 0;
       margin-left: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * and focus on the code in style.css as follows:
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 1200px)
       .site {
           width: 1170px;
           margin: 40px auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * so consider changing to
 *     ```
        width: 100%;
           margin: 0px auto;
       ```
   
 * the 100% width should do it

       }
