  The space under heading texts in blocks in my theme is way too big:

  Our Bucket List of Unique Lodging

  How can I make the paragraph text closer to the headings?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Would adjusting the line height accomplish what you’re after?

  Hi,

  I took a look at the page you posted ( Our Bucket List of Unique Lodging ) (Thanks for posting this by the way, as it was clearer what your actual issue was)

  While the headers on the page visually look like headers to us humans, the underlying HTML is not a header. Meaning, that the browser is not interpreting them as headers but as very large text.

  So in the WordPress editor could you change the header text you created to a block that is a header?

  It should visually look something like how this post describes.

  @normalusername52 is correct. You’ve used normal paragraph blocks when you should be using heading blocks.

  Changing your headings to an actual heading block will make things look better. H2 is pretty close to the size of your current headers.

  Cheers,

  Thanks SO MUCH (you, too, ericfi) – this is exactly what was wrong.

  I had used a two-column block with photo+text and it was obviously just using large text instead of a header because it was inside of a column and couldn’t add a header block above the text.

  This fixed the issue and it looks so much better. You rock!
