Step 1: Access the Custom CSS Panel

Navigate to ‘Pages’ and scroll down to ‘Website Tools.’ Here, you’ll find the ‘Custom CSS’ panel where we’ll add the code.

Step 2: Add Your CSS Code

Once you’re in the CSS panel, paste in the following code. You’ll see some space appear between your images right away. Adjust the pixel value in the code to change the padding size—try 20px or even 30px if you want more space.

.gallery-reel-item-src {
  margin-left: 5px; /* Adjust the value as needed */
}

Step 3: Customize the Padding

If you want to play around with the spacing, feel free to adjust the pixel dimensions in the code. Whether you prefer a tighter look with less padding or a more spacious gallery, it’s entirely up to you!
