Remove padding in text block

Go to solution Solved by Ziggy,

Recommended Posts

Hello

I allready tried some codes I read in the forum, but none of them worked.
I have these colored text blocks (green and white) and I want to have the same spacing between text and border all around.
Event if I set the padding to 5% in the squarespace settings it's not the same. Is there any code to adjust the padding?

Ideally, one code for all boxes, but I don't mind adding a code for each box if needed.

I'll appreciate any help.

Squarespace is dynamic, as websites need to be as they get viewed on a huge number of screen sizes and resolutions. It is also on a grid system, so the block has to stay within those bounds. The slight variation in the padding is simply coming from those constraints. The padding you are setting is effectively a minimum of 5%, it is not an absolute value.

Using this code and targeting specific text blocks should mean that the background only gets applied around the text and should be more consistent:

#block-dd85f78398b41a11242b {
  .sqs-html-content {
    background-color:green;
    padding:5%;
  }
}
