To fix the issue with text wrapping and shifting within accordion drop downs on your Webflow site, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the problem area: First, you need to identify which accordion drop down(s) are experiencing the text wrapping and shifting issue. This can be done by inspecting the specific elements using the Webflow Designer.

  2. Adjust the text element settings: Once you have identified the problem area, select the text element(s) within the accordion drop down that are causing the issue. In the Style panel, check if any width or height restrictions are set on the text element. Remove any fixed width or height values and instead set the width to "Auto" and height to "Auto".

  3. Adjust the accordion settings: If adjusting the text element settings does not solve the issue, you may need to modify the accordion settings itself. Select the accordion wrapper element and check if a specific width or height is set. If so, remove the fixed value and set the width and height to "Auto".

  4. Adjust the accordion content settings: In some cases, the content within the accordion drop down might be causing the issue. Select the content wrapper element within the accordion drop down and check its width and height settings. Similar to the previous steps, remove any fixed width or height values and set them to "Auto".

  5. Check for overflow settings: Another factor that can contribute to text wrapping and shifting issues is the overflow property. Make sure that the overflow property of the accordion wrapper element and its content wrapper element is set to "hidden". This will prevent any overflow from affecting the layout.

  6. Test and refine: Once you have made the necessary adjustments, preview your site to see if the text wrapping and shifting issue has been resolved. If not, go back and double-check the settings of the affected elements and make further adjustments if needed.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with text wrapping and shifting within accordion drop downs on your Webflow site.
