Why is my homepage displaying white bars on either side of the screen in Webflow?

If your homepage in Webflow is displaying white bars on either side of the screen, there are a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Viewport settings: Check the viewport settings of your Webflow project. The viewport determines the size of the visible area on different devices. If the viewport is not properly set, it can cause white bars to appear on the sides. To fix this, follow these steps:

• Go to the Project Settings in Webflow.
• Select the "Custom Code" tab.
• Under the "Head Code" section, add the following meta tag:
  ```html \`\`\`

1. Container width: If you have set the container width of your homepage to a fixed value that is wider than the width of the screen, it can cause the white bars to appear. To resolve this, you can apply a maximum width to the container element or make it fluid. Here's how:

• Select the container element on your homepage.
• In the Style Panel, go to the "Sizing" section.
• Set the "Max Width" property to a value that fits within the screen width, such as 100% or a specific pixel value.

1. Hidden elements: Sometimes, hidden elements within your Webflow project can cause the white bars to appear. Check if any elements are set to display:none or have a negative margin that extends beyond the screen width. To fix this:

• Inspect your homepage using the browser's developer tools to identify any hidden elements.
• Adjust the CSS properties of those elements to prevent them from extending beyond the screen width or remove the display:none property.

1. Custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, it's possible that it is causing conflicts and resulting in the white bars. Inspect the custom code that you have added and ensure that it is not interfering with the layout of your homepage.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix the issue of white bars appearing on either side of your homepage in Webflow.
