Sidebar Colour Change and White Space

  • Hi there, I’ve got two questions:

    1. I’d like to change the colour of my sidebar to make it appear separate from the rest of my content, which is also on a white background. I’ve tried a couple of CSS codes but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    2. On my home page (theme is Adaline) I have a header and then a photo gallery below. There is a gap of white space between header and photo gallery which is driving me crazy. I want to have the photo gallery directly below the header. I’ve looked for a css code but haven’t found anything. Would be so grateful for any help on this!

  • Greetings!

    1. Did you fix this on your own? As I look at your site, the sidebar appears to have a tan background instead of white.

    2. For reducing the space between the separator and the gallery on the home page, I had success with this CSS:

    .site-header {
      padding-bottom: 0;
    }

    Likewise, you can control the space above the site title with a similar padding-top declaration. For the top, the default value is 119px.

    Please let us know if this works for you.
