Title: padding issues Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # padding issues * [dasigna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dasigna/) * (@dasigna) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/) * another one… * issue with page (container) padding when (actually) using with generatepress: gp is set to ignore the padding settings of page builders due to full width content ability (which is good thought). but elementor then uses the setting for page width of gp without padding left and right (consequently right) – which means that one have to set that for every single section manually to fit into given layout, which is partially a horrible amount of work. otherwise you would have content (e.g. text) float right to the screen edges when under the set container width (mainly on mobile), which is ugly. * same thing basically for upper and below padding, which you cannot set globally for sections (but which you need throughout a page to optain optical spaces). * what i recommend (as kind of urgend whish) is that one could set padding and container-width globally for all pages with elementor sidewide or (/better ‘and’) optional per page. 🙂 * from my side i regard this a quite elementary option which is sadly missing by now. any chance to get that soon?? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [yehudah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehudah/) * (@yehudah) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612730) * Hi, * For now it can be done with custom CSS. We working on it for future releases, I have no time frame for that. * [adminyazo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminyazo/) * (@adminyazo) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612736) * the latest version of GeneratePressVersion: 1.3.34 – fixes this issue * Thread Starter [dasigna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dasigna/) * (@dasigna) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612738) * [@adminyazo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminyazo/) … unfortunately not. * i think you did read the referring thread on generatepress forums, but i will try to explain again: latest gp-version fixed the issue partially in the way that all padding (set in gp-layout-settings) is removed for elementor-row. so far all right, and _sections_ extend full width as expected without any padding, regardles the settings for gp. 1. BUT: now _all_ content of elementor stretches full width – even text etc.! and that is quite annoying on smaller screens when text hits the borders of the screen! so you have to tweak with some custom css to set this padding for elementor content again. 2. BUT: if e.g. you want to set a google map within any section and to show it full width, then this won’t do out of the box… just because you have this column inside the section that wont stretch full width even if set in elementor – because of the css from before! for this again you have to tweak with some custom css. * so thats the weak point for now! tom of gp did it the right way and eliminated the padding for elementor-items allowing them to stretch full width. but you are NOT able to set these paddings within elementor site-wide, page-wide or per section as it should be to maintain layout and padding as supposed! for now you _have to_ deal with some css as long as it is not possible – thats what i tried to explain above .-) gp provided the right base now, but elementor lacks of the possibility to deal with it (untill now – i think yehudah knows what i was aiming at…) * try for yourself with gp+elementor and you will experience what i mean!! if you’re not into ‘full with’ that won’t bother anyway. * Thread Starter [dasigna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dasigna/) * (@dasigna) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612739) * btw: who is setting a topic to ‘resolved’ even if it is not??? … * [yehudah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehudah/) * (@yehudah) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612758) * [@dasigna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dasigna/) * I have answered to your issue. * Thread Starter [dasigna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dasigna/) * (@dasigna) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612760) * [@yehudah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehudah/) * I know. * [adminyazo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adminyazo/) * (@adminyazo) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-issues/#post-7612761) * sorry if I get in-between anything!
