To prevent the website from scrolling while using a pop-up modal in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the modal element: Start by selecting the pop-up modal element on your Webflow canvas.

  2. Open the settings panel: After selecting the modal, open the settings panel on the right-hand side of the web design editor.

  3. Set the Position to "Fixed": In the settings panel, under the Position section, toggle the position option to "Fixed". This will ensure that the modal remains in a fixed position on the webpage.

  4. Enable the Overflow option: Still in the settings panel, scroll down to the Overflow section and toggle the overflow option to "Hidden". This will hide the scrollbars on the webpage, preventing scrolling while the modal is open.

  5. Adjust the height of the modal: Depending on the content within the modal, you might need to adjust its height to accommodate the content properly. You can do this by adjusting the height of the modal element itself or by using the layout tools in Webflow.

  6. Design the modal as desired: Now that you have set up the modal to prevent scrolling, you can proceed to design the content and appearance of the modal according to your preferences. You can add text, images, buttons, or any other elements within the modal.

By following these steps, you can prevent the website from scrolling while using a pop-up modal in Webflow. This allows users to focus on the modal content without any distractions from scrolling through the background page.
