The .flexible-widgets
class adds 140px of padding to the top of every widget. Here’s what it looks –
.flexible-widgets {
padding: 140px 0 80px;
}
Since you’re using the slider in this way, you would need to remove some of that padding so it clears.
Try adding this to your CSS –
.slider-wide .flexible-widgets {
padding-top: 0;
}
That should only affect the slider-wide widget section and leave the other sections as they are.
Let me know if that works.
