 * Eek, no luck! I did see the post builder had a few sliders, but they’re at minimums,
   and I tried the code in custom CSS and additional CSS (and even tried it in the
   base css file).
 * Seems like such a dumb problem, I know 🙁

 * Thanks!!
 * One other thing with padding: on this page, how do we eliminate the padding under
   the header (Y2K!) and above the image?
 * [https://blueprintarts.com/y2k/](https://blueprintarts.com/y2k/)
 * The same for all of the posts (I presume one change will change that issue on
   all posts?)
 * It’s *also listed as inline!!

 * Hi Shane!
    Thanks for the reply! Yah, I adjusted the feed height and all, worked
   🙂 But I meant is it possible to adjust the padding *underneath the feed (like
   under the widget’s “Load More” and “Follow on Instagram” and above “2022 (C) 
   Blueprint”) at all…?
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * Hi Shane!
    Thanks, this worked for below the general content!
 * For the widget footer, it’s not so much the height of the widgets, but the spacing*
   under the widgets. (and above the “2022” bar)
    The inspect shows: element { position:
   relative; height: 640.5px; }
 * Is there any way to edit the height there?
 * Thanks!!

 * Hi Minal!
    So I’m going to “Theme Options” in our theme, then clicking on Custom
   CSS in the menu. Is there a better way? (I’d attach a screenshot if I could)
 * You can see where the menu is on The Gem info page here:
    [https://codex-themes.com/thegem/documentation/theme-options/](https://codex-themes.com/thegem/documentation/theme-options/)
 * I can do it in other file, certainly (which one?)
 * Let me know, much appreciated!

 * Hi Minal!
    Do I put this in Custom CSS? (I did, and there isn’t any change yet…?)
 * Am I missing something?

 * Hi George!
    Thanks! Removed the extra bracket per your suggestion; where is the
   height 127px you mentioned..?
 * Also, if it’s better to update somewhere other than Custom CSS, happy to do so,
   just let me know where is best to 🙂
 * For now, I did put the code in Custom CSS and it worked for unscrolled, but the
   box when scrolled was still the same (small) height?
    Oddly, it’s not showing
   now, not sure why. I tried clearing the cache, but maybe it’s taking a little
   to reupdate or something or whatnot..

 * Hi George!
    So no ability to change menu padding through menus, so I went with
   the custom CSS.
 * What happened was that the unscrolled menu box around the “About” increased, 
   but so did the menu height.
    (the scrolled menu remained unchanged)
 * I left the code in the custom css so you could see the result. Let me know if
   you have other ideas? Thanks!

 * Hi James,
    Sorry to bug you again: So I thought it worked, but apparently it 
   didn’t…! (I put it back)
 * Any other ideas?
 * I tried tweaking style.css line 2987 which is:
 * .header-style-3 #primary-menu.no-responsive > li > a, .header-style-4 #primary-
   menu.no-responsive > li > a {
    padding: 0px 15px;
 * …By changing padding to 5px
 * But what happened is that it increased the general vertical padding, so the top
   bar ended up with the extra 5px!

 * Hi James!
    Thanks so much for your quick reply! And apparently it was resolved,
   guess some of the tweaking I was trying did it, but it led to an odd thing happening(
   maybe you could help with this, or should I post another topic?):
 * When each of the top menu links are clicked (“About,” “Book” etc), the box around
   the word (on each respective page) is no longer surrounding the word, it’s shrunk
   to like covering the word.
 * You can see it here over the “About” ([https://blueprintarts.com/about-us/](https://blueprintarts.com/about-us/))
 * Thanks!!!
