To fix the issue of the text aligning to the center instead of the right side in a rich text element in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the rich text element: Identify the rich text element where the text alignment needs to be fixed. You can locate it on your Webflow canvas or in the Navigator panel.

  2. Open the Typography settings: Once the rich text element is selected, navigate to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer interface. Click on the "Typography" tab to reveal the typography settings.

  3. Adjust the text alignment: Within the typography settings, you will find the text alignment options. By default, it may be set to "Center". Change the text alignment to "Right" by clicking on the appropriate alignment button or selecting it from the dropdown menu.

  4. Check other alignment settings: In some cases, the overall container or parent element of the rich text element may be causing the alignment issue. Ensure that there are no conflicting alignment settings at the container level.

  5. Preview and publish: After making the necessary changes, preview your website within the Webflow Designer to ensure the text alignment is now set to the right side. If everything looks as expected, publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of the text aligning to the center instead of the right side in a rich text element in Webflow.

Additional tips:

  • If you are still experiencing alignment issues, make sure there are no other CSS styles that are overriding the text alignment in the rich text element.
  • Double-check if any custom code or CSS classes are affecting the alignment of the rich text element.

Example CSS code:
If you prefer to use custom code to align the rich text element to the right side, you can add the following CSS code in the website's custom code section or within a custom embed element:

.rich-text-element {   text-align: right !important;}

This CSS rule will specifically target the rich text element and apply a text alignment of right to override any conflicting styles.

Summary:
To fix the text alignment issue in a rich text element in Webflow, you need to adjust the text alignment settings within the rich text element's typography settings. If needed, also check for conflicting alignment settings at the container level. If the issue persists, check for overriding CSS styles or consider using custom code to override the alignment.
