 * Hi,
 * I have searched and found no solution to the problem I am having with grey padding
   between widgets on my site. I hope someone can help me out on this one. Also 
   the main top banner doesn’t resize properly when viewed on a mobile phone.
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Ian.

 * You have right click disabled. Makes it harder for me to look at your code 😉

 * also, please be more specific about “gray padding”. I’m not seeing anything at
   first glance.

 * Thank you for the unexpected quick response.
 * Sorry, Have disabled right click now and what I mean about grey padding is that
   there is a grey space between “Connect With Us” and “Our Sponsors” also between“
   Beech Litter Pickers” and “Contact Us” sections on the front page.

 * I have stared at the behavior in 2 different browsers and it seems like a bug
   rather than the padding.
 * It may load with the “gray padding” but if I resize the smallest amount it fixes
   but I’m not seeing any straight out .css change. it’s almost like something does
   not trigger till we resize.
 * Have you tried the Theme author? perhaps it a known bug?

 * I found out what’s going on, it’s the “**Custom Facebook Feed**” Plugin, that’s
   causing the problem.
 * I deactivated it and the grey padding was gone. I have tried a few other Face
   Book Feed plugins, but not found one I like yet.
 * Would still like to get rid of that grey padding somehow.
 * Thanks

 * It’s not really gray… it’s this Opaque color going over the white background…
   
   background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); (this is what’s making the background images 
   a bit shaded)
 * Have you tried embedding the Facebook code? This is usally what I use on my sites.
   
   [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin)(
   rather than another plugin)…

 * For the time being I have just removed the image and made the background colour
   black, It does make the text easier to read anyway, which also has got rid of
   the Opaque color.
 * Also changed the background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); to rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); which matches
   the colour below the contact section and looks like the contact section is boxed
   in.

 * I know this is nothing to do with the previous question, but I am also looking
   for help on the top banner on the front page.
 * It resizes fine when viewed on pc’s and tablets, but not on phone screens, the
   image doesn’t resize and gets cut off, also the box surrounding the title extends
   past the image.
 * I would appreciate any help on this one, as have posted on the Theme author page
   a while back, but have had no response.
