When the 'Wedding Cake' pop up in mobile view is larger than the screen and unable to scroll up and down in Webflow, there are a few possible reasons and solutions to consider:

  1. Content Overflow: One possible reason is that the content within the pop-up is causing it to overflow and expand beyond the boundaries of the screen. To fix this, you can try the following:
  • Make sure that the content within the pop-up is not set to a fixed width that exceeds the screen width.
  • Check if any elements within the pop-up have margins or padding that are pushing the content outside of the screen. Adjust the margins and padding as needed.
  1. Z-Index Issues: Another possibility is that the pop-up is being obscured by other elements on the page due to incorrect z-index values. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  • Set a higher z-index value for the pop-up container to ensure it appears above other elements.
  • Check if other elements on the page have a higher z-index value. Lower their z-index or adjust the z-index of the pop-up to make it appear above them.
  1. Positioning and Overflow Settings: It's also worth checking the positioning and overflow settings of the pop-up container and its parent elements. Follow these steps:
  • Ensure that the pop-up container has a position value of fixed or absolute, depending on your design needs.
  • Check if any parent elements of the pop-up container have their overflow property set to hidden or scroll. If so, adjust the overflow property of the parent elements accordingly to allow scrolling within the pop-up.
  1. Viewport Meta Tag: Sometimes, issues with mobile view can be resolved by checking the <meta name="viewport"> tag in the site's head section. Ensure that it is correctly set up to enable proper scaling and responsiveness on mobile devices.

By addressing these possible reasons and implementing the appropriate solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue of the 'Wedding Cake' pop up being larger than the screen and unable to scroll up and down in Webflow's mobile view.
