In Webflow, how can I get rid of white space and an unwanted horizontal scroll bar that only appears on the published site and not the designer?

If you are experiencing white space and an unwanted horizontal scroll bar on your published Webflow site, but not in the designer, there are a few potential causes and solutions you can try:

1. Check for overflowing elements:

• Sometimes, elements placed outside the canvas in the designer can cause the unwanted scroll bar. Make sure to check for any elements that may have been accidentally positioned outside the canvas boundaries.
• Select each section and element on your page and use the "Preview" mode in the designer to see if any elements extend beyond the boundaries of your main content container.
• If you find any overflowing elements, adjust their position, dimensions, or margins to ensure they fit within the boundaries of your page.

1. Examine element positioning and margins:

• Check if any of your elements have negative margins. Negative margins can cause elements to extend beyond the boundaries and create unwanted white space and scroll bars.
• Inspect the positioning and margins of any elements that seem to be causing the issue. Adjust their margins or positioning as needed to ensure they fit within the intended layout.

1. Check for hidden or unstyled content:

• Verify if there is any content on your page that has been hidden but is still affecting the layout. If any elements or sections have display set to "none" or visibility set to "hidden," try removing or adjusting those properties.
• Additionally, check if there are any elements without proper styling or sizing. Elements without styling can appear as blank space on the published site, causing the white space and scroll bar to appear.

1. Review overflow settings:

• Check the settings for overflow on your body element and any nested containers. Make sure they are set to "auto" or "hidden" rather than "scroll," as this can prevent unwanted horizontal scroll bars from appearing.

1. Test in different browsers:

• The behavior of white space and scroll bars can vary between browsers. Double-check your site in multiple browsers to see if the issue persists. If it only occurs in a specific browser, you may need to apply browser-specific CSS adjustments using custom code.

By going through these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the white space and unwanted horizontal scroll bar issue on your Webflow site.
