How Do I Adjust Padding in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 26, 2022 @ 7:33 pm

There are a few different ways to adjust padding in Squarespace. One way is to use the built-in options in the Style Editor.

To do this, go to Design > Style Editor. Then, under the “Site Styles” tab, scroll down to the “Padding” section. Here, you can adjust the top, bottom, left, and right padding for different elements on your site.

Another way to adjust padding is by using CSS code. To do this, go to Design > Advanced > Code Injection.

In the “Head” section, you can add CSS code that will affect the entire site. For example, if you wanted to increase the padding on all paragraphs, you could add the following code:

p {
padding: 20px;
}

You can also add CSS code directly to individual pages or posts. To do this, go to the page or post you want to edit and click on the "Code" block.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when adjusting the padding in Squarespace, you could end up with uneven padding on your website. This can make your website look unsightly and could deter potential visitors from staying on your site. Be sure to take the time to preview your changes before saving them to avoid this problem.

Then, enter your CSS code in the "Code" field. This code will only affect that specific page or post.

Finally, you can use a Squarespace plugin to add custom CSS code to your site. There are a few different plugins available, but we recommend using Simple Custom CSS and JS.

This plugin is free and easy to use. Once you install and activate the plugin, go to Settings > Simple Custom CSS and JS. Then, in the "Custom CSS" section, you can add your own CSS code.

In conclusion, there are a few different ways that you can adjust padding in Squarespace. You can use the built-in options in the Style Editor, add CSS code directly to individual pages or posts, or use a Squarespace plugin like Simple Custom CSS and JS.
