That did the trick. And, actually, I used a plug in to make the change so I didn't need to go into any files specifically. The plugin is the Custom CSS Manager. Anyway, thanks a ton! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-space-above-first-field-on-widget#post-100559 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:28:00 +0000 Richard Vav 100559@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not a silly question at all, I would place it in your themes main style sheet or custom.css if your theme has one. You should avoid making modifications to plugin files as when wordpress updates the plugins any modifications would be lost. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-space-above-first-field-on-widget#post-100552 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:04:28 +0000 joelthenderson 100552@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for the reply. This is a silly question, but which stylesheet? The stylesheet that's part of the gravity forms, or the style sheet that's for my theme?</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-space-above-first-field-on-widget#post-100533 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:58:19 +0000 Richard Vav 100533@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You could also add the following to close the gap a little more<br /> <pre><code>#field_1_1 { margin-top: 0 !important; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-space-above-first-field-on-widget#post-100532 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:54:16 +0000 Richard Vav 100532@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Joel, the gap is being created by the padding and margins being added to a couple of elements, so to reduce it you can add the following css to your stylesheet<br /> <pre><code>.gform_widget .gform_wrapper { padding-top: 0 !important; } .gform_widget .gform_body { margin-top: 0 !important; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-space-above-first-field-on-widget#post-100510 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:06:26 +0000 joelthenderson 100510@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>PS... On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "enough knowledge of css to be dangerous", I am about a 2. Thanks for any help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-space-above-first-field-on-widget#post-100508 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:05:03 +0000 joelthenderson 100508@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, this is probably an easy fix and perhaps has already been posted about, but I cannot seem to find an answer.</p> <p>I have a simple email submission form widget on the home page of my new site... <a href="http://www.joelthenderson.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.joelthenderson.com</a>. As you can see, there's space between my widget heading and the forms first field. I don't think this is my theme's css as this is the only widget doing this. </p> <p>Anyway to fix this? It's not a huge deal, but given that I paid $40 for this, I'd like it to work right.</p> <p>Thanks much. </p>
