Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help with adding padding to the top of a Rich Text block and any new Rich Text blocks we create in the future for our homepage. We use the Shopify minimal Theme. I have added an image for the Block below.

div#shopify-section-a5095068-0327-46af-bc5d-1fe647616523 {
    margin-top: 20px;
}

Add this css at the bottom of Online Store->Theme->Edit code->Assets->theme.scss.liquid

@ResidenceJD

Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code.

Step 2: Search file timber.scss.css

.grid__item.page-content__item.post-large--two-thirds.push--post-large--one-sixth {
  padding-top: 30px;
}

Step 3: Paste the below code at bottom of the file → Save

That worked perfectly. Thank you
