One user wants to eliminate both top and bottom margins while ensuring Instagram photos span full width without distortion once spacing is removed.
Status: The solution successfully resolved the padding issue for at least one participant. The discussion remains helpful for others facing similar layout challenges with the Instafeed app.
Hello! I am trying to remove the top padding showing above my instafeed app. I can easily remove using the inspect tool, but cannot find the instafeed code sheet to edit on the back end. Can anyone help? The white bar above the feed is the padding I wish to remove.
Changing the margin to 0px is what is working in the inspect tool. See below.
#insta-feed, .instafeed-shopify {
position: relative;
display: block;
box-sizing: unset;
text-align: center;
clear: both;
margin: 0px auto 0;
}

Here is the preview of my unpublished storefront: https://zhdhrz32jmht8lx5-36138418312.shopifypreview.com
It is the bottom bar right before the footer.
Good day.
maybe you can share the url of shop?
so I can send you the correct CSS code.
P.S. Just want to help you with that white border for free
-60px = top spacing desktop
-40px = top spacing mobile
make sure you add the - sign as a prefix, it needs to be a negative number to work.

Hi there Diego!
Hope all is well.
I’m looking to accomplish something similar, but I’d like to get rid of both the top and bottom margings/padding, as well as set it up so that the Instafeed Photos can take up full width (once the margins are gone) without getting distorted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Pat
