To fix the issue of grid items overflowing the grid container in Webflow on the desktop breakpoint, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the grid container size: Ensure that the grid container has enough size to accommodate all the grid items. You can adjust the width and height of the container in the Style panel.

  2. Adjust the grid item sizes: Make sure that the grid items are not set to fixed widths or heights that could cause them to overflow the container. Instead, use relative units like percentages or fr (fractional units) to allow the items to adapt to the available space.

  3. Utilize the grid properties: Webflow provides a range of grid properties that can help you control the layout of your grid items. Some key properties to check and adjust as needed include:

  • grid-template-columns: This property allows you to define the width of each column in your grid. Make sure the total width of the columns does not exceed the width of the grid container.
  • grid-template-rows: Similar to grid-template-columns, this property allows you to define the height of each row in your grid. Adjust the heights accordingly to avoid overflowing.
  • grid-gap: Use this property to set the spacing between grid items. If the gap is too small, it can cause items to start overflowing. Increase the gap size if necessary.
  1. Consider responsive design: Check if you have made any changes to the grid layout at different breakpoints. It's possible that the overflow issue only occurs at the desktop breakpoint due to conflicting settings. Review the specific desktop breakpoint settings and make adjustments as needed.

  2. Inspect and adjust individual grid items: If you have specific grid items that are causing the overflow, inspect them individually. Check for any conflicting styles or fixed dimensions that may be causing the issue. Adjust the sizing, positioning, or padding/margin values as necessary.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of grid items overflowing the grid container in Webflow on the desktop breakpoint.
