If you are experiencing issues with the navigator being off the right edge of the screen and a width corridor on the right-hand side of your mobile site after publishing in Webflow, there are a few possible reasons for this. Here are some potential causes and solutions:
- Responsive design settings: Check your responsive design settings to ensure that the elements on your mobile site are properly adjusted for smaller screens. Sometimes, the issue might be caused by elements not being set to shrink or stack properly.
- Adjust the settings of each element in the navigator to ensure that they are responsive and properly aligned on mobile devices.
- Element positioning: Verify that there aren't any elements positioned too far to the right on the canvas, causing them to spill over the screen edge on mobile devices.
- Select the elements causing the issue and check their positioning properties. Ensure that they aren't set to an absolute position with a greater value for left or right positions.
- Overflow settings: Inspect the overflow settings of your parent containers or sections to ensure that they contain the elements properly.
- Double-check the overflow settings for your containers and sections. If they are set to anything other than "visible," try changing it to "auto" or "hidden" to see if that resolves the issue.
- Viewport settings: Confirm that the viewport meta tag is correctly set on your published site to ensure proper responsiveness on mobile devices.
- In your site's Custom Code section (Site Settings > Custom Code), ensure that your viewport meta tag is set as follows:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
- Custom CSS or code: If you have custom CSS or JavaScript code applied to your site, it's possible that it's causing conflicts or layout issues on mobile devices.
- Review any custom code you have added to your Webflow project and verify if it might be impacting the layout on mobile. Temporarily remove or comment out the code to see if the issue is resolved.
- Cache or site loading issues: Clear your browser cache and try opening your site again to ensure that the issue isn't caused by a caching problem or incomplete loading.
- Clear your browser's cache and refresh the site to see if the issue persists. You can also try opening the site on different mobile devices or browsers to rule out any device-specific issues.
These steps should help you identify and resolve the issue with the navigator being off the right edge of the screen and the presence of a width corridor on the right-hand side of your mobile site after publishing in Webflow. Remember to preview your changes in your designer and republish to see the effects.
