Widgets in Footer

[marci]

Hi,

I'm new to CSS and using Prose theme. I have "Recent Posts" and "Categories" widgets in my footer area and would like to decrease the spacing between the lines. From a word doc perspective, they seem to be about 1 1/2 line and I'd like to decrease to 1 line spacing. Because they are widgets, I assume I would need to make change via Custom CSS. If this is correct, can anyone help me with what that code would look like, please?

Thanks!

Firstly I can't any responsibility for what I'm going to share, you need to take all the necessary precautions when making CSS edits to your site.

That said, and agreed, by using <b>Inspect Element</b> (found in Chrome) you right click and play. Make sure you have Jetpack CSS installed and make your amendments there, rather than touching the original CSS, especially if you're not familiar with it, cos you can screw things up quite easily.

Go to Jetpack CSS and pop in this code and save:

body, p {
line-height: 1.0;
}

All we've done here is change the line height in the footer widget area. Try that and see if it works. If not you can just delete it and it's cost you nothing as you've not affected the main CSS.

Let me know.

Thanks for your help! That made everything go to 1.0 line height. I only want the lines in the widgets in the footer. I "inspected" the element but am not confident because of my newbie status but it looks like an unordered list, possibly in a table? Would this be the widget configuring this or code within the footer?
