To fix the overflow issue in the mobile view of your website on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the element causing the overflow: Inspect your website using the browser's developer tools to identify the specific element causing the overflow issue. Look for any elements that extend beyond the viewport or have overflowing content.

  2. Adjust the element's dimensions: Once you've identified the problematic element, you can adjust its dimensions to ensure it fits within the viewport. Reduce the width or height of the element if necessary.

  3. Enable overflow scrolling: If the content within the element cannot fit within the available space on the mobile screen, you can enable overflow scrolling. To do this, select the element and go to the Style panel. Under the Layout section, enable "Overflow" and select "Scroll" or "Auto" to allow users to scroll within the element.

  4. Use media queries: Webflow allows you to apply different styles to elements based on screen sizes using media queries. You can create a specific style for mobile screens to address the overflow issue. Within the Style panel, create a new set of styles for the relevant breakpoints (e.g., mobile portrait). Adjust the dimensions or apply overflow scrolling specifically for mobile screens.

  5. Check for hidden elements: Sometimes, hidden elements can cause overflow issues in the mobile view. Ensure that there aren't any elements hidden behind others that extend beyond the viewport. Adjust the positioning or visibility of these elements if needed.

  6. Test and iterate: After making the necessary adjustments, preview your website on different mobile devices or use the responsive design preview in Webflow to ensure that the overflow issue is resolved. If necessary, iterate on your changes until the mobile view no longer exhibits overflow problems.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the overflow issue in the mobile view of your website on Webflow and ensure that users can access all content without any inconvenience.
