 * Why on mobile I cant reduce the distance of the search box from the right-edge?
   I’m using
 *     ```wp-block-code
       @media only screen and (max-width: 769px){  #secondary{     padding-right:5px; }    }
       ```
   
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpadding-not-working-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * The above code increases the spacing. The actual spacing is set here:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       /* mettere la distanza a destra sui cell alla foto search and filter con gettext */@media only screen and (max-width: 769px)  {.archive  #block-4,	.search  #block-4,	.home  #block-4	{ padding-right:18px;	}}
       ```
   
 * There you have to adjust the value to your preferences.
