How can I decrease line spacing in CSS?

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: reduce excessive vertical space between lines on a product page via CSS.

What’s been tried: adding padding-top: -40px and margin-top at a specific code line, but neither changed the spacing. Screenshots were provided and are key to understanding the layout issue.

Information needed: multiple responders requested the store’s front-end URL and, if password-protected, the password (can be shared privately) to inspect the live CSS.

Clarifications: the OP asked what to add to Custom CSS but stated they don’t have access to store credentials, limiting further help.

Diagnosis hints: one respondent noted the extra space likely comes from padding or margin on another element/line, not only the targeted line, and requested a preview/URL to verify.

Current status: no fix implemented; analysis is blocked without a shareable URL/preview.

Next steps: provide the site URL (and password privately if enabled) so contributors can inspect which elements’ margins/padding are creating the spacing and propose precise CSS adjustments.

Hey @mtwbys

You just need to provide the link of your website front-end and if you have password-protection enabled on your website and if you don’t feel like sharing the password publicly then you can share it in my personal messages as well.

Best Regards,

Hi @mtwbys ,

Dont look on that line only, also another line have padding or margin that is why there is more space on it. Would you mind to share your store URL website? you can share also the preview. Thanks!
