 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * You can add the following CSS into your theme’s custom CSS area:
 * .tribe-common–breakpoint-medium.tribe-events .tribe-events-l-container {
    padding-
   top: 0px; }
 * That should resolve the issue.

 * I really appreciate your response. I added the custom css but it didn’t do anything.

 * Hi there,
 * Inspecting your site, I would have recommended the exact CSS as Chika did above.
 * Did you remove the CSS snippet on your site? I don’t see these styles in the 
   cascade.
 * It might be a specificity issue. You can try adding !important.
 * .tribe-common–breakpoint-medium.tribe-events .tribe-events-l-container {
    padding-
   top: 0px!important; }
 * Alsok, not sure where you are adding the CSS, but try putting it in Appearance
   > Customize > Additional CSS
 * Hope that helps!
 * Best,
    Sky

 * Thank you both for your responses. I ended up buying the Pro version so I could
   get the shortcode and place it on my own created page and therefore have more
   control of the layout. That solved my problem. 🙂
