If you're experiencing issues with scrolling on your Webflow page after adding embedded code, there are a few steps you can take to fix the problem:

  1. Identify the issue: Before making any changes, it's important to diagnose the root cause of the scrolling issue. Determine whether the problem arose after adding specific embedded code or if it's a general issue with your site.

  2. Check for conflicting code: Sometimes, embedded code can conflict with the existing code on your Webflow site, causing scrolling issues. Review the embedded code you added and check if it contains any conflicting CSS properties, JavaScript functions, or HTML elements.

  3. Use the Embed element: Instead of directly pasting the embedded code into your Webflow page, try using the Embed element. This element ensures proper encapsulation of the code and helps prevent conflicts with the rest of your site's code.

  4. Adjust your code's position: If using the Embed element doesn't resolve the scrolling issue, fine-tune the positioning of your embedded code within your Webflow layout. Try placing it inside a specific container or adjusting its z-index to prevent it from interfering with the scrolling behavior.

  5. Test in different browsers and devices: While developing and testing your Webflow site, make sure to check its functionality on different browsers and devices. Some scrolling issues might be specific to certain platforms, so it's important to ensure a consistent user experience across all devices.

  6. Seek assistance from Webflow support or community: If you've exhausted these options and are still unable to resolve the scrolling issue, reach out to Webflow support or consult the Webflow community forum for additional guidance. They can provide targeted help based on your specific issue.

Remember to save your changes and publish your site after each adjustment to see the effects. By diagnosing the issue, checking for conflicting code, using the Embed element, adjusting code positioning, testing across browsers and devices, and seeking assistance when needed, you should be able to fix the scrolling problem on your Webflow page after adding embedded code.
