Page builder row element: White space on top of page caused by empty tag

[st_bo]

Hi

I’m citing @Mairoula and @pdupreeb because we are facing the same problem with a white space at the top of the page which is caused by an empty <p> tag.

“There’s an empty p tag between the navigation and the row element below. Please notice the white line in the screenshot.” (http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/empty-p-tag/)

“I’m getting an empty p tag when the first item in page builder content is a row.
When the page builder content starts with another element (raw html, testimonials) the p tag goes away.” (http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/p-tag-before-page-builder-row/)

Unfortunately both thread were closed by the support team and no solution was given so far in regards to the empty <p> tag.

Hi

Please stop opening new threads about the same issue. Like I said, this issue will be discussed on http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/row-page-builder-element/page/2/

Please give at least 48 hours before you post a new comment, the developer will get onto it as soon as he can

Hi Kyle,
sorry for misunderstanding, but you closed the other two threads I posted above.

According to @Mohammad, I opened up a new thread dedicated to the <p> tag problem (http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/how-to-remove-row-element-margin-on-mobile/#post-66958)

The thread you posted is not directly dedicated to the <p> tag problem and therefore probably didn’t raise the awareness of Ed and the development team.

Best

Hi

I closed the other 2 threads because there was 3 threads, all involving yourself, which was about the exact same thing. However, I agree with what you’re saying about that thread not being about the specific issue, therefore I will leave this thread open and direct people to this one. I will also assign this to Ed.

Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully we’ll get this sorted soon for you.

Hi

So, here’s Ed’s reply on the other thread:

The empty p tag is likely due to space in your page content. If you disable the page builder, switch to text view, make sure there is no space/anything before the first shortcode “[” at the top, then switch back to page builder and save, it should all be good. We’re not experiencing any empty p tags here, and we move across multiple page builder sites a day.

If it does happen, here’s some css you can add to remove it:

.page-content > p:empty {
display: none;
}
