    • Just change the conditional

      if ( !is_page() )

      to

      if ( !is_singular() )

      And the CSS:

      .single .site-inner,
      .page .site-inner {
      margin-top: 60px;
      margin-top: 6rem;
      padding: 40px 0;
      padding: 4rem 0;
      }

      • This didn’t work for me and crashed my site. I noticed you included ! in front of the page.

        Also, do these snippets replace what Srid did, or do you add another line of code in the function and stylesheet?

  • Great snippet, Sridhar!

    However, if you remove the site tagline, the margins on small screens are removed to. Where should we add the left and right margins again?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the most correct approach is:

    .page .site-inner {
    margin-right: 20px;
    margin-left: 20px;
    }

  • I obviously did something wrong. Added the code for functions.php and got a fatal error.

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare minimum_site_tagline() (previously declared in /home1/ etc

    Was there another step I should have taken? Deleted something first?

  • Hi Sridhar. Thanks so much for all of your posts. They’re really helping me out with customizing my site. Question: I’ve removed the tagline section from posts and pages. But how do I remove it from the homepage (without removing the background header image)? Thanks!

      • Hi Sridhar,
        Thanks for the code, works great. The only problem I am running into is the home page. If my site is set in reading for blog posts, the homepage doesn’t show the primary sidebar (separate issue I think) and if I set another page as “home” with a blog template and use a static frontpage in the reading settings, the padding in the CSS after removing the site tagline has the content area up under the header. I’ve adjusted the padding for pages and posts via your CSS, but the homepage seems to be funky. Do I need to change the home.php to home-old.php to eliminate this, or is there more code that could get this straightened out?
        I really appreciate your tutorials and sharing these wisdoms, helps a ton!
        Cheers,
        Mark

  • I get an immediate WSOD (white screen of death) as soon as I refresh the screen after installing this code. Its a new installation and have tested by deactivated all plugins but still no luck.

    Any ideas what might be causing it?

  • I’ve just noticed there’s an error in your CSS. As written it also affects the padding in content pages so that, for example, on the landing page, the content has no margins at all and is pushed to the top and the edge of the page.

  • Hi! I added this to my site and it works great, the only problem is that it also removes the site tagline on my homepage.. which I have used a page for and just set that to be the homepage. Is there another way to make the front page?
