Before you begin
Sign in to your BeatKongs producer account and open Website → Edit Website. Work on a page you can safely test. Builder controls may vary by theme, selected element and plan.
Step-by-step instructions
- Step 1. Select the element or container with unwanted space.
SCREENSHOT TO ADD: Screenshot needed: Margin and padding controls
Screenshot to capture: Margin and padding controls. - Step 2. Open its layout or spacing controls and identify margin versus padding.
- Step 3. Adjust one side at a time; margin changes space outside the element, padding changes space inside it.

How to confirm it worked
Save the page, open the visitor-facing website, refresh it, and inspect the changed section on desktop and mobile. If the task involves a link, form, player, menu or other interactive feature, test that interaction directly on the live site.
Troubleshooting
- Cannot find the control? Select the intended element first. Some settings only appear for certain components, themes or plans.
- Change did not appear? Check that the correct page was saved, refresh the live page, and check whether caching is showing an older version.
- Mobile layout looks wrong? Reopen device preview and inspect the affected element’s width, spacing and visibility.
- Feature is missing or not working? Avoid deleting working content. Use Report Issues from your producer dashboard and describe the page, control and expected result.
