Can you help me troubleshoot why there seems to be a black box over the content in the 'We're here for you' section on my boss' About Us page in Webflow? Additionally, how can I address the issue where my boss can't scroll on mobile despite it working fine on my phone?
Troubleshooting a black box issue in the 'We're here for you' section
If you're experiencing a black box covering the content in the 'We're here for you' section on your boss' About Us page in Webflow, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:
Check for overlapping elements: Sometimes, a black box can appear if there are multiple elements overlapping each other. Enter the Webflow Designer and inspect the section closely to see if there are any elements positioned to cover the content. You can rearrange or adjust the positioning of the elements to avoid overlapping.
Investigate background settings: Another possibility is that the black box is due to the background settings of the section or its parent elements. Double-check the background color, image, or gradient settings and ensure they are set correctly. Remove any unwanted background styles or apply a transparent background color if needed.
Review custom code: If you have added custom code to the page, particularly CSS styles, there might be conflicting styles that result in the black box issue. Inspect the custom code and verify that it doesn't interfere with the section's styling. You can temporarily remove the custom code and check if the black box is still present. If it is, the problem lies elsewhere.
Test in different browsers: Cross-browser compatibility can sometimes cause unexpected issues. Test the page on different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to see if the black box appears consistently. If the issue is isolated to a specific browser, you may need to research potential browser-specific CSS or rendering issues.
Contact Webflow support: If you still can't identify the cause or solve the black box issue, you can reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. Provide them with details about the section, any custom code or interactions you've used, and steps to reproduce the issue. They will be able to guide you further.
Addressing the scrolling issue on mobile
If your boss can't scroll on their mobile device despite it functioning correctly on your phone, here are some steps to address the problem:
Check for conflicting styles: In some cases, conflicting CSS styles or custom code can interfere with the scroll functionality on particular devices or browsers. Review the CSS styles and custom code applied to the page and check for any potential conflicts related to scrolling.
Test on multiple devices: Test the About Us page on multiple mobile devices or use an online emulator to simulate different devices. If the scrolling issue is consistent across different devices, it's more likely to be a problem with the page itself rather than a device-specific issue.
Verify interactions or custom code: If you have implemented interactions or custom code that affects scrolling behavior, review them and ensure they are not causing the issue. Temporarily remove any scrolling-related custom code or interactions and test to see if the scrolling problem persists. This will help identify if the issue lies within the code or interactions.
Inspect overflow settings: Check the overflow settings for the sections or elements that should be scrollable. Make sure they are set to "auto" or "scroll" to allow scrolling on mobile devices. If the overflow is set to "hidden," it will prevent scrolling.
Update mobile settings: Access the Webflow Designer and navigate to the mobile breakpoint. Make sure the necessary sections are set to display properly on mobile devices. Adjust any layout or sizing issues that may affect scrolling.
Consider dynamic content: If your boss' About Us page includes dynamic content that loads asynchronously or is pulled from an external source, make sure the content is not blocking the scroll functionality. If the content takes too long to load, it may disrupt the scrolling experience.
Contact Webflow support: If the issue persists or you're unable to identify the cause, reach out to Webflow support for assistance. Provide detailed information about the scrolling problem, including the affected sections, any custom code or interactions used, and specifics about the devices experiencing the issue. The support team will be able to investigate further and provide guidance.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the black box issue in the 'We're here for you' section and address the scrolling problem on mobile devices.
