Fixing menu nav spacing

Hi there,
I'm having trouble setting the height of my menu, and removing all padding. I can make the changes in the Customizer, but they don't stick when I preview the page.
Here's a screenshot of the ideal settings:

Hi there,
Are you using a child theme?
If so this is likely the issue:

Let me know :)
Hi Leo,
I'm using a child theme, but I don't see the code snippets in the help documentation you shared.
Thanks,
Blake
Try activating the parent theme, does the option work?
But isn't it wise to use a Child Theme? I'm happy not to use one, but I thought that was the way to go.
Are you modifying any of GP's core files or adding more than like 1000 lines of CSS?
If not then I wouldn't say you need a child theme.
You could absolutely use one if you wish - just activate the parent theme first so we can identify the current issue.
Let me know :)
Many thanks, Leo! I activated the parent theme, then copied over the CSS from my child theme and now the header looks great!
I'll stick with this setup. Great to know I don't have to use a child theme with GP.
You guys are the best,
Blake
No problem!
If one day you decided to use a child theme, make sure to grab one from here then you won't have any issues:
