  Hi, I am trying to change the margin of the site description text, i would like it lower beneath the logo in the banner behind it.
  Also i want to remove the votes option and the stars, something that i really dislike.
  Although I ve been around the forum and find some code lines that i would like to use or some hints of where and what should i ll be looking for, when i paste those code lines in Customize>CSS nothing happens.
  I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong but I can’t see what.
  I use the Snaps theme and i have a Premium Account.
  Here is the link to my blog: http://awb-studio.com/

  Thanks a lot for all the help. Cheers.
  Axel.

  Here is our Custom CSS cheat sheet. Have you looked at this?

  Hi @marioashley and thanks for the support.
  Actually I have already read it yes, and I think I am doing good regarding to what it says, now the code lines affect the site so CSS editing works, good!
  Now I need the code lines to change my site description text’s margin and to hide the vote option and the stars. I’ll keep looking in the forum and in other place in the net.

  Thanks again! Cheers,
  Axel.

  Nice, I have managed to hide everything I wanted to, so now I just need to move my site description text lower.
  If anyone got the line you’ll save me a lot of time and to go nuts.
  Just as a reminder I use Snaps theme.
  Thanks

  This is the code I came up to:

  .site-description {
  margin-bottom: 0;
  margin-top: 50px;
  }

  In the Customize-CSS it works and affect the preview, but when I save it and go check on the site (outside the Customizer) the code doesn’t affect the site description text, I checked it on an another computer where I am not logged in and the same happen, no changes.
  Do I have to close some tag or something like that?

  Hi there,

  When I visited your site, the text seemed pretty well spaced. Are you still having this issue? I looked at your CSS in the inspector, and did not see any obvious errors.

  Thanks for the additional info!

  staff-totoro thanks for the info.
  Yes I resolved the problem, the main thing was the “margin_top” value was to low, but the problem was that the WordPress Customizer was previewing wrong, actually it does that with the fonts size too, but after saving the customization the site displays it wright.
  Resuming the preview while customizing is buggy and that was confusing to me. But now I know it behaves that way, I just need to adapt.
  Thanks for the support guys, you are an awesome staff.

  Now I am into another challenge but nothing related with this one, should i make a new topic or can I ask you right here?
  I’ve made a search in the forums and didn’t find an answer.
