Changing line spacing for text in Prestige Theme

Topic summary

Issue: Excessive line spacing and large gaps between lines/paragraphs in the Prestige Shopify theme, especially in product descriptions and page text. Images were attached to illustrate the spacing.

Actions taken:

  • Store URL and password were shared for review.
  • CSS tweak suggested: set body { line-height: normal; } in the theme’s main CSS (base.css/style.css/theme.css). This reduced line spacing but did not affect the large gap between paragraphs.
  • Theme settings were checked; no built-in controls for line height/paragraph spacing were found.

Latest guidance/workarounds:

  • Paragraph tags (

    ) add extra space by default; line breaks (
    ) do not. Replace

    with
    for tighter spacing, or in the rich text editor use Shift+Enter to insert a line break without starting a new paragraph.

Status/outcome:

  • No confirmed theme-level fix for global paragraph spacing was provided in the thread.
  • Effective workaround: use
    or Shift+Enter to avoid paragraph gaps. One participant resorted to rewriting/copy-pasting text, noting inconsistent formatting.

Open question:

  • A definitive CSS/setting change for reducing default paragraph spacing in Prestige remains unresolved.

Hi @Pro6

You need to adjust the line height of the text. Would you mind to share your Store URL website? with password if its unpublish. Thanks!
