How to decrease mobile text padding on Shopify?

Topic summary

Reducing mobile spacing around text in a Shopify theme. The store owner wants less padding above and below text only on mobile and shared a site link and a screenshot illustrating the issue.

Proposed fix: add a CSS media query targeting screens under 729px. It sets .lh-title margin to 0, .cont padding to 0px 0 20px with !important, and div > h1 margin to 0. This aims to tighten vertical space on mobile.

Implementation guidance: one reply requests site access to apply the changes. Another provides steps to add the code in Online Store → Theme → Edit code → assets/styles.css at the bottom.

Notes: a minor typo in one snippet (“0 px”) could prevent the padding from applying; use “0px” instead. The screenshot is central to understanding the spacing problem on mobile.

Status: no confirmation from the original poster that the change worked; no definitive resolution yet. Key terms: CSS (styling language) and media query (rules that apply at specified screen sizes).
