[Resolved] widget margin/padding for email signup

[avraham]

Hi Tom,

I know this is not exclusively a generate press question, and I do apologize, but I have tried elsewhere so maybe maybe you can help?

I have a Mailchimp for WordPress signup form in my sidebar and also my footer. You can see them both here: http://thejwws.com/blog/.

There is a lot of space between the widget title and the top of the form (the text is part of the form). This is especially noticeable in the footer. The widget with the email signup is not aligned with the other widgets.

I tried adding to the Simple CSS plugin to adjust the top padding and the top margin to 0. Put that changed nothing. I tried to adjust it in the form code itself, in the paragraph styling. That also did not change the spacing.

Do you know of anything I can do about this? I know it is a long shot, but I figured I would try.

Thanks for your time.

All the best,
Dina

Hi Dina,

Do you have the “Automatically add paragraphs” checkbox checked in that widget? If so, de-select it and it should help.

Let me know 🙂
