Why isn't my grid centered on the screen in Webflow?

If your grid isn't centered on the screen in Webflow, there are a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect container alignment: Make sure that your grid container is set to align items in the center. By default, Webflow aligns grid items to the start, so you may need to change this setting. Select your grid container element and go to the "Layout" tab in the right-hand panel. Under the "Position" section, set the "Align" property to "Center".

  2. Missing container width: If your grid container doesn't have a specified width, it may not appear centered on the screen. Check the width property of your container element and ensure that it is set to a specific value, such as a percentage or pixels.

  3. Incorrect grid settings: Double-check your grid settings to ensure that the grid is properly centered within the container. Select your grid element and go to the "Layout" tab. Verify that the "Grid Auto Columns" and "Grid Auto Rows" are set correctly and that the grid is set to be centered both horizontally and vertically.

  4. Parent element alignment: If your grid is nested within another element, make sure that the parent element is also set to center its contents. Inspect the parent element's settings and ensure that it aligns its items in the center.

  5. Conflicting CSS classes or custom code: If you have custom CSS classes or custom code that affect the alignment of your grid, they may be overriding Webflow's default settings. Review any additional CSS classes or code and adjust them accordingly to ensure the correct alignment.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to center your grid on the screen in Webflow.
