To remove the auto-generated second column from your grid on tablet in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the project you are working on.

  2. Select the grid element: Identify the grid element on your page and click on it to select it. You should see the grid settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer.

  3. Set the number of columns: In the grid settings panel, locate the "Columns" section. By default, the grid is set to "auto" for the number of columns, which allows Webflow to automatically generate the columns based on the content. Click on the dropdown menu next to "Columns" and select the desired number of columns you want for your grid. For example, if you want a single column, select "1".

  4. Configure tablet breakpoint: From the top bar of the Designer, click on the tablet icon to switch to the tablet breakpoint. This allows you to customize the layout specifically for tablet devices.

  5. Adjust column settings: With the grid element still selected, go to the grid settings panel on the right-hand side. Under the "Columns" section, you should see an input field labeled "Tablet". Click on it and manually set the number of columns to match the configuration you set in step 3. For example, if you chose one column, set "Tablet" to "1".

  6. Preview and adjust if needed: Click the eye icon at the top of the Designer to preview your changes. If the auto-generated second column is no longer visible in the tablet breakpoint, you have successfully removed it. If you need to make further adjustments, repeat steps 4 and 5 until you achieve the desired layout.

Remember to save your changes and publish your site for the modifications to take effect on your live website.

Additional advice:

  • Be mindful of the content within your grid and ensure it fits appropriately into the single column layout on tablets.
  • Consider using the Webflow responsive design features to create custom layouts for different breakpoints to ensure your content is responsive across various devices.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove the auto-generated second column from your grid on tablets in Webflow.
