Yes, there is a CSS code that you can use to resolve the issue of background image positions on mobile devices in Webflow. By default, Webflow sets the background-position property to "center center" on mobile devices, which can sometimes result in an undesirable placement of the background image. To overcome this, you can use media queries with custom CSS to adjust the background position specifically for mobile devices.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to modify the background image position.
  2. Select the element that has the background image applied to it.
  3. In the Styles panel, locate the Background section and click on the background image property to expand it.
  4. Click on the "Edit Background" button to access the background image options.
  5. In the Background settings modal, scroll down to the "Background Position" section.
  6. Change the background position to your desired value for desktop or larger screens.
  7. Click on the "Add Media Query" button located below the desktop background position input field.
  8. In the media query settings, select the "Mobile" option from the drop-down menu.
  9. Manually enter the desired background position for mobile devices.
  10. Click the Save button to apply the changes.

Here's an example of the CSS code you can use within the media query for custom background positions on mobile devices:

@media (max-width: 767px) {  .your-element-class {    background-position: top center; /* Replace with your desired background position */  }}

Make sure to replace .your-element-class with the actual class name of the element you want to target, and adjust the background-position value as per your preference.

Using this CSS code within a media query will allow you to control the background image position specifically for mobile devices in Webflow. This customization gives you more flexibility and control over how your background images are displayed on different screen sizes.
