Title: Padding problem Last modified: August 4, 2018 --- # Padding problem * Resolved [danina84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danina84/) * (@danina84) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/) * Hi, I tried to use Elementor on my site which has a content with of 1440px. I entered this width in the settings, but still there is a 10px padding when I use ELementor on the left and right of the content, so the content is not aligned with my header and footer content. How can I remove this left and right padding? * Thanks.

Would you try switch to the free OceanWP theme please, see if that works? I have 50 + sites with this theme+Elementor and works like a charme. * A few screenshots of the settings and how the site looks front end might be helpfull too. You can use this easy to use online tool for it: [https://snag.gy/](https://snag.gy/) * [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/) * (@logologics) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10560994) * I see what you mean, when I set Elementor to stretch the section, both sides fit to the screen nicely, but the gab between the rows is gone too. * I do not have that while using OceanWP, it keeps the gab between the rows when I choose the 100% full width template of the theme. * See my test with your theme, section elementor set to stretch and each column in edit advanced gave it 6 px padding first one 6 px padding to the right second column 6 px to the left side: [https://snag.gy/XqmEQj.jpg](https://snag.gy/XqmEQj.jpg) * That way you can work around it, but not very good for workflow if you need to do this on every column.. - This reply was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/). * [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/) * (@logologics) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10561110) * I found this in the settings of your theme: * NOTE: Grids where you choose columns are designed for 1140px width. If you make the width larger the columns may increase beyond what your settings say to fill that much space. * That explains the issue I quess? It is not supposed to work with 100% full width pages when columns are involved? * Again that does not happen with my preferred theme OceanWP. You can set it to 100% full width and it keeps the space between columns. * I did not get in depth with this theme, if you want to keep using it, you might ask their support, because this is not an Elementor issue but theme related as far as I can tell. * Thread Starter [danina84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danina84/) * (@danina84) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10561279) * Thanks, but the theme specifically has different options for content width, and I am not talking about full-width – my setting is to 1440px, and with Elementor, there is a 10px padding on the left and on the right. * The theme is supposed to be working with Elementor, they even suggest the plugin once you install it. I guess I will have to ask the theme developer. * Thanks though! * [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/) * (@logologics) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10561608) * Yes, I saw they recommend Elementor. Looks like a good theme so far. * It is hard to understand what you are trying to achieve without the actual url or screenshots. * So you have set the width in customizer to 1440 px Your header is also 1440 px? * When you add content ( columns ) with Eelemntor there is a margin left and right, what makes the content ( columns ) not alligned with the header? * Is that correct? Are you able to provide a screenshot with SnaggY? * [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/) * (@logologics) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10561664) * I think this is what you want? This is with your theme,layout of the theme 1440 px and “page content width” set to full widht. This way the content has no margins left and right. * To have the space between to rows, elementor row edit margin 5 px left and right. * [https://www.screencast.com/t/q6Qk0ci6ck](https://www.screencast.com/t/q6Qk0ci6ck) * Thread Starter [danina84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danina84/) * (@danina84) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10562186) * [My setting](https://postimg.cc/image/lcriv6wgx/) [Screenshot](https://postimg.cc/image/h4wqlwsb5/) * You see that the image which was added with Elementor has 5px on the left and 5 px on the right, so it is not left and right aligned with my header and footer( on my screenshit you only see the footer, the words “Text Text Text” start 5 px left from the image. * [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/) * (@logologics) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/#post-10563227) * Thanks for the screenshots. * So, what I am seeing in that screenshot are footer text widgets? The large image above the footer, is an images inserted in an Elementor section? * Can you get me a screenshot of the settings of that section with the large image? How did you insert that? As a background image or with an image element? * To get it full width ( in your case that is 1440 px ) you should add it as a background image not as an image? I would like to see your settings in edit mode please? * [LogoLogics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logologics/) * (@logologics) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/page/2/#post-10563289) * [https://www.screencast.com/t/afeZI2AnS6tV](https://www.screencast.com/t/afeZI2AnS6tV) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Padding problem’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/elementor/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3444228) * [Elementor Website Builder - more than just a page builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/reviews/) * 22 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [salubritas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salubritas/) * Last activity: [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/padding-problem-3/page/2/#post-11789221) * Status: resolved
