Title: Padding and Margin Issue Last modified: May 23, 2019 --- # Padding and Margin Issue * Resolved [tonykuehn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonykuehn/) * (@tonykuehn) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/) * Hi! I like the plugin, but I’m having a big issue with padding and margin settings. Right now I’m developing on localhost, and the issue I’m having is every time I refresh or re-open a page editor with the section block, all padding and margin settings are reset to default. It doesn’t seem to matter how I set them, they always reset to 20px. Thoughts? Am I missing something? Thanks!

You can change it from the Inspector sidebar in Gutenberg. * Are you not able to change them? Let me know. * Thread Starter [tonykuehn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonykuehn/) * (@tonykuehn) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/#post-11565843) * I can change them and the changes take effect when I hit update, but when I reload the page edit screen, or open the page in editor again after saving changes ( leave the editor, and re-enter from any link), the padding and margins for all items are reset to 20px and my changes are lost. It looks like the defaults are overwriting changes on admin page editor reload. - This reply was modified 7 years ago by [tonykuehn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonykuehn/). * Thread Starter [tonykuehn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonykuehn/) * (@tonykuehn) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/#post-11565854) * I should add, I don’t think it’s a plugin conflict either.

Exact same issue. Zero plugins installed (including jetpack).

If the values for padding or margin are set to 0, then defaults are used (20px) instead. This applies both to linked and un-linked values. If I set them to 1, then the input is respected, so it’s clearly an issue with how ‘0’ input is being handled. * Plugin Author [Hardeep Asrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/) * (@hardeepasrani) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/#post-12149118) * Hey [@tonykuehn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonykuehn/), * Got it! We are pushing a release this weekend, so once that is done we can start working on this. In the next (one after this week), we will also introduce some way to have a global default so you won’t have to set padding/margin everytime you add a block. * We’ve released it’s the most painful point of all the users when using Section block. * What do you think? 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Padding and Margin Issue’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/otter-blocks/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3452114) * [Otter Blocks - Gutenberg Blocks, Page Builder for Gutenberg Editor & FSE](https://wordpress.org/plugins/otter-blocks/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/otter-blocks/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/reviews/) * 17 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [RodSalm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rodsalm/) * Last activity: [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-and-margin-issue/page/2/#post-12173582) * Status: resolved
