When encountering the issue of the footer not displaying correctly on mobile landscape and portrait modes in Webflow, there are several potential causes and solutions to consider.

  1. Responsive design: Ensure that your footer is designed to be responsive, so it can adapt to different screen sizes. This involves setting appropriate width and height values, as well as using percentage-based measurements instead of fixed values.

  2. Overflow hidden: Check to see if there are any parent elements with the overflow: hidden property applied. This can sometimes cause the footer to be cut off or not display properly. Adjust the CSS properties accordingly to allow the footer to be fully visible.

  3. Z-index: If other elements on the page have a higher z-index than the footer, they may overlap and hide it. In this case, increase the z-index of the footer or adjust the z-index of the overlapping elements to ensure the footer is visible.

  4. Positioning: The positioning method used for the footer can impact its visibility. Make sure the footer is set to position: relative or position: fixed depending on your needs. Check that the footer is not positioned outside the viewport or behind other elements.

  5. Media queries: Review the media queries applied in your Webflow project. There may be specific styles being applied to the footer for different screen sizes that are causing the issue. Adjust the styles within the appropriate media query to ensure the footer displays correctly on mobile landscape and portrait modes.

  6. Cache clearing: In some cases, a cached version of the website may be causing the issue. Clearing your browser cache or viewing the site in an incognito/private browsing window can help determine if this is the cause. If the issue is resolved in an incognito/private browsing window, it may be necessary to clear the cache for regular visitors.

By considering these potential causes and implementing the corresponding solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue of the footer not displaying correctly on mobile landscape and portrait modes in Webflow.
