Bedford page margins - too much white space - how do I adjust the padding??

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I recently moved my site to Bedford because I liked some of the features, but it's created a couple of new headaches. 

Does anyone know how to remove the huge about of white space / padding in the margins of pages? I cannot find anything in the site styles and it does not appear when I am editing... it is hidden when I edit but then when I save the page and go see the page via our URL, everything on the page seems really small because there is such a big white margin.

All suggestions appreciated!

In Bedford the #page part of the layout (under the full width banner) has a maximum width setting as well as padding. 
These can be controlled by adding the following to your custom css, after any other code that may be there. 

#page {
    max-width: 1020px !important; // 1020px is the default size
    padding: 96px 32px !important;  // First number is top & bottom, second is left & right  Defaults are 96px and 32px
}

Once inserted you can tweak the max-width and padding values. I've inserted comments so that you can see what the default values are.

Can you describe in detail your problem?

Thanks.

Hi!!! I found a way to have less white margin on regular pages using this code for each collection 

 

#collection-5db850a64754fa5a64ad4b96 #page  {
    max-width: 25020px !important; 
    padding: 96px 32px !important;  
}

But when i use it on INDEX Pages, the banners aren't full width anymore. What should i do? (Sorry i speak french i hope this is clear) Thanks a lot for helping me!
