How to reduce the top and bottom margins of the side panel?
Please go to "Style Customizer > Others > Custom CSS" and use this custom CSS:
#side-container { padding-top: 20px; } #side-footer-wrapper { bottom: 20px; }
You can adjust the px value here.
P.S. In case you would like to use custom CSS for other elements, I would recommend "Developer Tools" on Chrome or "Firebug" on Firefox to inspect the elements on the page. Then you can know which CSS selector to adjust.
