Title: top bar padding bug Last modified: May 31, 2021 --- # top bar padding bug * [marcie73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcie73/) * (@marcie73) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-bar-padding-bug/) * Hello, it seems like there is a bug. Once the top bar is edited adding social links, the default padding, or any custom padding, is ignored. Strange thing is that after inspecting the css is correctly set, but it does not display. This happened to me with another website, in which I had to add padding (via custom css) to #top-bar-inner to correct the problem. Thank you for your interest in solving the issue. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftop-bar-padding-bug%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [Abhishek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abhikr781/) * (@abhikr781) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-bar-padding-bug/#post-14506732) * Hello, * Tried checking and getting 8px padding added for the top/bottom. * Kindly share a snapshot of settings and let us know what padding you have added that not working. * Thread Starter [marcie73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcie73/) * (@marcie73) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-bar-padding-bug/#post-14507342) * Sorry, I did not understand your first sentence.

[https://ibb.co/njbvM5Z](https://ibb.co/njbvM5Z) * SO let us know that what show be there in place of 8px. ANd share the snapshots of your setting in the customizer(Appearance > Customize > Topbar), which will help us to see the differences. * What exactly you are expecting in place of below code. #top-bar { padding: 8px 0; } * Thread Starter [marcie73](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcie73/) * (@marcie73) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-bar-padding-bug/#post-14527632) * Hello, correct values (8px top/bottom) are inserted, and the backend preview renders it correctly. If I change values, it also changes in the backend preview. But after saving nothing changes in frontend and values are set are they were zero. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/a/ZSxxLsT) * I also tried adding in custom css: #top-bar { padding: 8px 0; } but it does not work. The only fix is adding padding to the inner div #top-bar-inner.

Nothing changes. This is the third site I’m having this identical issue. On 3 different servers as well.
