Removing white space between header area & hero Image

[davyk]

Hi,  New to wordpress and themes.

 

I have the free exoplanet theme and I also have smart slide 3.  I have set up my slider and added it to my homepage and it looks ok, but i would like to remove the white area beneath the header area and the main content for the Hero slider.

 

Attached is an image of what I mean (the white area under the red header image I want to remove.

 

Please could someone help in how I can do this in wordpress /exoplanet free theme?

 

thanks in advance

Davy

Add the following custom CSS at ‘Appearance’ > ‘Customize’ > ‘Additional CSS’:

.main-header {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

Hi,

Thanks, but unfortunately this did not work as intended.

 

I just want the hero slider to move up and not every other page.

 

All this done was make every other pages content move to the to top but not the homepages hero image slider  Attachment included highlighted in yellow (please ignore the red overlay of the name of the site as I would like to hold that off just now)

So I can provide the correct CSS, I’ll need to see the live page on your site. If you don’t want to say the URL on here, just send a message via our contact page with your site URL, and reference this support topic.

I use pages and not posts – might add in a blog page for posts later but not decided…

thanks, I am still looking at the code (although not done HTML & CSS in about 10-15years, so WordPress is alien to me.

 

Thanks – it is just the home page I want to change….  although the site is a work in progress.

Cheers. Replace the previous custom CSS with this:

.custom-post-type-header {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

brilliant that is the one, thanks

any chance to do the same at the home page footer of this code:

<footer class="entry-footer">

<span class="edit-link">Edit <span class="screen-reader-text">"Home"</span></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer -->

You only see the “Edit” link when viewing logged in as admin (or with page editing privileges), so normal visitors won’t see this.

[davyk]

yeah but the space remains when not logged in

your help is really appreciated and a massive thanks for fixing the original issue

This CSS should remove the margin after the main content on the homepage:

.home main > article {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

brilliant,  thanks for your help I have really appreciated it..  that is the home page the way I want it…  with exception of images which I can do in the slider and when I get new images….

 

Again thanks…
