I've been googling and tinkering in the settings and no matter what I've tried my header leaves white space on the sides. Its driving me crazy please help, Site link is survivalpunk.com

your chioices
1) make the site fixed width
2) make the image wider
3) set a minimum width for the site (Style & configure LAYOUT)

The image is plenty big enough. The other two options did not work.

In your situation it looks like the "space" is a 10px padding on the container.

Where do I remove the padding? I've poked and prodded in there a ton

SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS THAT DID IT!!! Imilesw your the best!!!

I think that is in the Style and Configure Layout section or you can force no padding in CSS Inserts.

You still have a problem on wide monitors. Because you have a variable width site it can look like this

which is why I made my suggestions...FWIW

Hi!

I have a similar problem on the right hand side of my header image - i have had this website at least a couple of years now and have just changed the header (and changed the overall size from 1250px to 1200px), and it is the first time this has happened. It doesn't matter if I upload another 1200px header image, that extra white bit is there. I don't have any padding as far as I've searched.

Thanks,

Did you try turning off your caching plugin while making changes? I don't see any extra white space.
maybe an image pointing to it??
