 * Wow Tom. Thank you!
 * To answer your question I tested this out also on a previous site which was created
   entirely with that no-padding snippet in place. And yes, when I open a page in
   the editor, suddenly 40px padding is added to every container! So I exited without
   saving, and it remained OK.
 * I then noticed… that on both sites the code snippet was set for the front end
   only. I cannot imagine why, or when. It cannot have been set like that when we
   were creating all the pages and posts.
 * So of course, even when I replaced the snippet with your code above, the 40px
   padding was still then added in the editor. When I then set the snippet to function
   at the backend too, the padding was not added. So I then retried the original
   code, and it still works. The problem was in that front-end only setting.
 * So thank you, and major apologies. You were right in saying that the update should
   not have added the 40px back in – it didn’t. The problem as ever was when the
   brilliant system met human error…

 * Hi Ying
 * Thank you for the response and explanation.
 * What I don’t understand is the code I was using seems exactly what Tom is offering
   in the link you gave. It’s not working any more.
 * In case it helps find a solution, I have no posts using the old 40px default.
   The zero worked, so any padding was added either in Additional CSS, or occasionally
   manually.
 * So can I get the defaults back to zero? Please advise.
 * I guess one question is now what triggers GB to add the 40px back in? Is it when
   I edit a post? ie Can I trust unedited posts to remain intact? I ask because 
   I have two sites with a lot of posts with the zero default.
 * I would appreciate your help. (I do have GB pro – Leo just directed me here when
   I asked on the GP forum.) Thank you.
