When using Lenis scroll on a Webflow website, it's common for users to find that the scrolling stops before they can reach the footer. This issue is most likely due to a misconfiguration or conflicting settings within Webflow. To troubleshoot and resolve this problem, follow the steps below:

  1. Check your scroll trigger: Ensure that the scroll trigger you have set for the Lenis scroll is configured correctly. Double-check the trigger settings and make sure it appropriately covers the scroll area you want to include.

  2. Inspect the interaction settings: Open the interaction settings for Lenis scroll and review the parameters you have defined. Make sure the offset settings are accurate and not cutting off the scroll too early. Adjust the offset value accordingly to extend the scrolling area if necessary.

  3. Review the scrollable element: Verify that the scrollable element within your Webflow project is properly configured. This is the element that houses your content and allows scrolling. Ensure that its height is set to "Auto" or adjust it to a specific height that accommodates the entire content, including the footer.

  4. Check for conflicting interactions: If you have other interactions or scroll-related effects applied to your Webflow project, there might be conflicts between them and Lenis scroll. Review all the interactions and effects you have set up, and check if any of them interfere with the scrolling behavior. Consider disabling or adjusting conflicting interactions to resolve the issue.

  5. Inspect custom code: If you have added any custom code snippets or scripts to your Webflow project, it's possible that they are interfering with the scrolling behavior. Inspect your custom code and look for any code that modifies or affects scrolling. Disable or fix any code that might be causing the issue.

  6. Publish and test: After making the necessary adjustments, publish your Webflow site and test the scrolling behavior. Make sure to view the site in different browsers and devices to ensure the scrolling works correctly without prematurely stopping before reaching the footer.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the scrolling to stop before reaching the footer on your Webflow website using Lenis scroll.
