    I'm using the Going Green theme at http://carolgiles.com.au/wp/ and cannot work out where to find the padding to decrease it prior to the body, i.e. under the menu and header image so there's not such a big gap and also under the body before the footer.

    Suggestions/advice gratefully received. Thank you.

    Look for the padding for .site-header and .site-footer.

    I've edited the padding for .site-header but there appears to be no change at all.

    If you have a caching plugin installed, or if your web host has caching enabled, flush the cache or disable caching to view your changes.
