If you are experiencing issues with text overflowing in a rich text box and elements being pushed to one side on mobile in Webflow, there are several steps you can take to fix the issue:

  1. Adjust the width and spacing: Check the width of the rich text box and ensure that it is appropriate for the content being displayed. If the text is overflowing, try increasing the width or reducing the font size. Additionally, make sure there is enough spacing between elements to prevent overcrowding and pushing elements to the side on mobile.

  2. Use responsive design: Webflow provides powerful responsive design capabilities. It allows you to design and optimize your website for different devices. Make sure your text and elements are set to adjust responsively based on the screen size. This can be done by using percentage-based widths, setting breakpoints, or using flexbox or grid.

  3. Enable overflow settings: If you have lengthy text that doesn't fit within the rich text box, you can enable overflow settings. By doing this, the text will either wrap within the box or show scrollbars to allow users to scroll through the content. You can adjust these settings in the rich text box settings panel.

  4. Check for conflicting styles: Sometimes conflicting styles or interactions can cause content to be pushed to one side on mobile. Inspect the affected areas and review the styling and interactions applied to ensure there are no conflicting settings or overrides.

  5. Test on different devices: It's essential to test your website on multiple devices to ensure a consistent and responsive layout. Use the Webflow preview mode or publish your site to a staging domain and view it on various devices to identify and address any issues.

Remember, it is crucial to regularly review and optimize your website's design to ensure it remains responsive and user-friendly across different devices.
