What could be causing the issue in Webflow with not being able to use the auto-fit grid despite deleting all FR, VH, or % values?

If you are unable to use the auto-fit grid in Webflow despite removing all fractional units (FR), viewport height units (VH), or percentage (%) values, there could be a few potential causes for this issue:

1. Parent container sizing: Check if the parent element of the grid has a fixed or restricted height or width set. The auto-fit behavior is based on the available space in the parent container. If the parent has a fixed width or height, it may be causing constraints that prevent the auto-fit grid from working as expected.

2. Child element sizing: Make sure the child elements within the grid do not have fixed widths or heights defined. If any child elements have specific width or height values set, it can disrupt the auto-fit behavior. Instead, rely on the implicit or explicit grid sizing options for the grid items.

3. Inconsistent column or row sizing: If your grid layout has both auto-fit and explicitly defined column or row sizes (e.g., using grid-template-columns or grid-template-rows properties), it might cause conflicts and prevent the auto-fit behavior from functioning correctly. Ensure that you are not mixing auto-fit with fixed sizing for columns or rows.

4. Overriding CSS properties: Check if there are any CSS properties applied to the grid or its immediate parent that might be conflicting with the auto-fit behavior. For instance, if you have used the display property to set the grid container to something other than grid, it can impact the auto-fit functionality.

5. Interaction with other CSS or JavaScript: Evaluate if any custom CSS or external JavaScript libraries are interfering with the grid layout behavior. Sometimes, conflicting styles or scripts can disrupt the expected behavior of Webflow's built-in features.

To troubleshoot the issue, inspect the affected elements using the browser's developer tools. Check the applied CSS properties, including styles inherited from parent elements. Look for any conflicting rules or unusual settings that might be causing the problem.

Additionally, reaching out to Webflow support or the Webflow community forums could provide further assistance and insights specific to your project. They may be able to review your project and identify any potential issues that could be causing the auto-fit grid problem.
