To fix the issue with grid items being pushed to the left and cut off in the phone view in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Inspect the grid container: First, ensure that the grid container has the correct settings. Check the element styles in the Designer, or inspect the container using your browser's developer tools. Make sure the container has width set to 100% and has the appropriate alignment settings.

  2. Adjust grid item settings: If the grid items are being pushed to the left, you may need to adjust their properties. Select the grid items individually or as a group and check their width settings. Make sure they have enough space to fit within the grid container and are not set to a fixed width that exceeds the container width.

  3. Configure auto-fit or auto-fill: If you're using the CSS Grid auto-fit or auto-fill options, it's possible that the items are being pushed to the left due to inconsistent sizes. To resolve this, ensure that the grid items have consistent dimensions, or use the minmax() function to set a minimum and maximum width for the items.

  4. Use media queries: If the issue persists, you can use media queries to apply specific styling for the phone view. Create a new media query targeting the phone viewport dimensions and adjust the grid item properties as necessary. This allows you to override the default grid settings for that specific viewport.

  5. Test and iterate: After making adjustments, preview your website in the Webflow Designer's responsive preview mode or view it in a real phone emulator or physical devices. Check if the grid items are now correctly aligned and visible within the phone view. Iterate and refine your changes as needed until the issue is resolved.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with grid items being pushed to the left and cut off in the phone view in Webflow.
