# Spacing between sidebars

 * Hi there. I love custom sidebars, but all my sidebars and clustered close together,
   making it difficult to read individual images/widgets. Is there a way to add ‘
   white space,’ or just plain space, between widgets? Please advise!
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@cityotter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cityotter/),
 * I hope you are well today.
 * If you go into WP Admin -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS and add 
   the following, you will increase the left/right and bottom margins of the widgets.
 *     ```
       aside.widget {
           margin: 0 .25em 1.5em;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you’d like to dress up the widgets a little bit with bottom borders, you could
   use this instead:
 *     ```
       aside.widget {
           margin: 0 .25em 1.5em;
           padding: .25em 0;
           border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;
       }
       ```
   
 * Of course, the values can be adjusted if you want more or less space.
 * Let us know if you have any further questions. We’ll be happy to help! 🙂
 * Best regards,
 * James

 * Thanks so much, James. A step in the right direction! Is it possible to have 
   different spacing for different pages? And also, can I vary the spacing between
   each widget? For example, on this page, [https://www.compassionnyc.org/village-zendo-sends-hope-to-solitary/](https://www.compassionnyc.org/village-zendo-sends-hope-to-solitary/),
   I would like to have less space between the arrow and the ‘donate’ button and
   more space between the button and the envelope. Does this make sense? Can you
   help? Please?!?

 * Hello [@cityotter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cityotter/),
 * hope you’re doing good today and don’t mind me chip in here! 🙂
 * > Is it possible to have different spacing for different pages?
 * In order to do so, you can use the specific page class that’s added in body element
   for each page.
    For example, if you want to add margin only in [https://www.compassionnyc.org/village-zendo-sends-hope-to-solitary/](https://www.compassionnyc.org/village-zendo-sends-hope-to-solitary/)
   you can use something like this:
 *     ```
       body.postid-40485 aside.widget {
           margin: 0 .25em 1.5em;
       }
       ```

 * > I would like to have less space between the arrow and the ‘donate’ button and
   > more space between the button and the envelope
 * Apart from a generic **.widget** class that all widgets have, each one is also
   having a specific ID, so you can target them individually.
    For example:
 *     ```
       body.postid-40485 #media_image-5 {
           margin: 0 .25em .5em;
       }
       ```

 * Hope that was some help! 🙂
 * Please keep in mind that these aren’t Custom Sidebars specific questions, so 
   you should better post similar queries in the general forums.
