</div>

can anyone help with a formatting question? There is a lot of white space under my category images, and I can not find a setting to adjust that. The images themselves are only as tall as the colored circles. Anyone know what to do? image: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/11DNwKGoWkpP1Ymnikm3mY9STCFtF2qb6/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11DNwKGoWkpP1Ymnikm3mY9STCFtF2qb6/view?usp=sharing)

Welcome to Meta @Jim_Shilts1

I can’t reproduce the issue you described.

Is your site up-to-date?  
Did you try [safe-mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-discourse-safe-mode/53504) to rule out any theme/plugin CSS issues?  
Can you post a link to your site so we can investigate further?

You’re adding category logos that already include descriptions. They force the text-based Discourse descriptions to be rendered out of view - because the category logos are so wide.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/3/730018063b2e557e459c3581e9d97c20177c4f8a.png)

Even when they’re out of view, they will still affect the layout of their sibling elements.

Can you try adding this CSS to your theme under desktop \> CSS

```scss
.category-list {
  .category-description {
    display: none;
  }
  .category-logo.aspect-image {
    margin-bottom: 0;
  }
}

```

like so
