# Remove space under header

 * On all pages there’s a huge gap between the header and the cover image or the
   header and the page title. How do I change how big that space is?

 * Hi [@xylin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xylin/),
 * Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (the menu labels might be different
   in your language) and add the code below:
 *     ```
       #site-header {
           margin-bottom: 5rem;
       }
   
       @media ( min-width: 700px ) {
       #site-header {
           margin-bottom: 7rem;
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * Change “5rem” to reduce the margin on mobile, and “7rem” to reduce it on desktop.
   Let me know if that does it.

 * Thanks Anders! It worked but there’s still a big space the front page under the
   header, more so than the other pages. Is there a way to minimize that as well?

 * Hi,
 * I’m having the same issue with the big space between header and content. I added
   this in my child theme css file:
 *     ```
       #post-inner {
           margin-top:-100px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Is that OK? For some reason I don’t like high negative values for margins, it
   feels kind of inappropriate and unprofessional…
