ropyro on "Unexplained blank space on just -ONE- page of website"

Greetings! I was working on our website and discovered that one page has a large gap of unexplained space in it, while the rest of the pages (including the home page) are fine.

The website page in question is http://creatingourcommonwealth.org/documents/

I've searched for the answer on the forums and tried inputting code with padding into my custom CSS to no avail.

Any help appreciated!

There's a large blank image at the top of that page, titled "O'Brien handout, page 3". Your theme likely displays the featured image for a page at the top, above the page name. You could hide it with some CSS:

.page-id-20 .attachment-post-thumbnail { display: none;
}

but your best bet would be to edit the page in question and remove the featured image.

That did work, thank you!

But I'm still not sure why it showed up in the first place, and why it looked fine in the regular preview/editing version but not online. I looked in the code (or thought I did). Thoughts?

Side point:
I also have a question about the home page text. I want it to be bigger and bigger! But my code for it in the CSS isn't increasing our sizing.

h1 { font-size: 28px !important;

}

Does not solve it like I thought it would. Additional thoughts?

I can't see any code in the theme's files that might cause that to happen. Did you set that image as a featured image?

Which text in particular are you trying to resize? I don't see any text on the home page that's wrapped in <h1> tags.

I was actually trying to upload a document on the site (upload and then link to a text prompt), but it went wonky, and disappeared. Or, what probably happened, it tued white, melted somewhere in the back of the code, and I just couldn't see it anymore.

I'm trying to get our header text "Welcome to Our Common Wealth" on the opening page to be much larger. I feel it's a template issue, because it's not working. It may not be an H1 then, if it's template based?
