What could be causing the grid slideshow to not show on mobile devices in Webflow?

There can be several reasons why the grid slideshow is not showing on mobile devices in Webflow. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

  1. Media query issue: Check if the styles applied to the grid slideshow are conflicting with the media queries responsible for displaying content on mobile devices. Make sure that the slideshow is not hidden or modified for specific screen sizes. Double-check your media queries to ensure they accurately target the mobile breakpoints (@media screen and (max-width: <width>)).

  2. Visibility settings: Verify that the visibility settings applied to the grid slideshow are correct. By default, Webflow hides elements on mobile devices in order to optimize performance. Open the Style panel for the slideshow element and click on the eye icon next to the appropriate device sizes to ensure that it is not set to "hidden" for mobile.

  3. Viewport size: It's possible that the size of the grid slideshow is larger than the viewport on mobile screens. To troubleshoot this issue, reduce the size of the slideshow element or resize the images to fit within the mobile viewport. Adjusting the height, width, or aspect ratio of the slideshow may help it display correctly on mobile devices.

  4. JavaScript conflict: If you've added custom JavaScript code to your Webflow project, there may be a conflict with the grid slideshow component. Check your custom code for any errors or conflicts that could be causing the slideshow to malfunction on mobile.

  5. Device-specific bugs: Occasionally, certain mobile devices or browsers can have specific bugs or rendering issues that affect the display of elements on the website. Test your site on multiple mobile devices and use browser developer tools to debug and identify any device-specific issues.

  6. Cache-related problems: Clear the cache on your mobile device or browser and try loading the website again. Sometimes, outdated cache files can cause display issues. Additionally, ensure that any cache plugins or CDN configurations are not interfering with the rendering of your grid slideshow.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to resolve the issue and ensure that the grid slideshow is visible on mobile devices in Webflow.
