To fix the issue in Webflow where the .swiper-slide shows huge spacing and the slidesPerView parameter is being ignored, you can follow these steps:

  1. Inspect the code: Use your browser's inspect tool to examine the HTML and CSS of the swiper component in Webflow. Look for any conflicting CSS styles that might be causing the issue.

  2. Adjust the CSS: Identify the element that contains the swiper component, typically a <div>, and inspect its CSS properties. Check for any padding, margin, or other styles that might be affecting the spacing between slides. Reset or adjust these values as needed to reduce or eliminate the extra spacing.

  3. Override conflicting styles: If there are any conflicting CSS styles applied to the .swiper-slide class or its parent elements, use custom CSS to override these styles. You can add custom code using the Custom Code section in Webflow's Project Settings or by using an external stylesheet.

  4. Check the slidesPerView parameter: Ensure that the slidesPerView parameter is correctly set in the swiper component's configuration. This parameter determines how many slides are visible at once in the swiper container. Make sure it is not being overwritten or ignored by other parts of your code or Webflow's settings.

  5. Test and adjust: Save your changes and test the swiper component in different viewports and devices. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure consistent spacing and responsiveness across different screen sizes.

Remember to save your changes and publish your site to see the updates live. By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of huge spacing and ensure that the slidesPerView parameter is properly applied in your Webflow swiper component.
