To fix the scrolling issue with your Webflow site on desktop, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check for conflicting styles: Sometimes, conflicting styles can interfere with the scrolling behavior of your website. Make sure to review the styles applied to your site's elements and ensure there are no conflicting rules that could be causing the issue.

  2. Check for overflow settings: Verify that the elements within your site, such as container divs or sections, have the correct overflow settings. If an element has a hidden overflow setting, it can prevent scrolling. Ensure that the overflow property is set to visible or auto for the elements that you want to scroll.

  3. Check for fixed position elements: Elements with a fixed position can cause scrolling issues if they overlap or cover other elements. Double-check the positioning of any fixed elements on your site and make sure they are properly placed to avoid obstructing the scrolling behavior.

  4. Review custom code or interactions: If you have added any custom code snippets or interactions to your site, they could be affecting the scrolling behavior. Go through your code carefully and check for any scripts, CSS, or JavaScript that could be interfering with scrolling. Temporarily disable or remove any custom code to see if it resolves the issue.

  5. Test in different browsers: Sometimes, scrolling issues can be browser-specific. Check your site's scrolling behavior in different browsers to see if the issue persists across all of them or if it is limited to a specific browser. If the problem is isolated to one browser, you may need to address it as a browser-specific issue.

  6. Consider contacting Webflow support: If you have tried all the above steps and still cannot resolve the scrolling issue, it may be beneficial to reach out to Webflow support for assistance. They have a team of experts who can provide guidance and help troubleshoot the specific issue you are facing.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and fix the scrolling issue with your Webflow site on desktop.
