How do I fix the issue of my Webflow blog page scrolling left and right on the mobile app?

If your Webflow blog page is scrolling left and right on the mobile app, there might be a few reasons causing this issue. Here are some steps you can take to fix it:

1. Check for Overflow Issues: One common reason for horizontal scrolling is having content that exceeds the width of the viewport. Make sure none of the elements on your blog page have a width greater than 100% or a fixed width that causes horizontal overflow. Check the width and content of elements like images, videos, text blocks, and containers.

2. Disable Horizontal Overflow: In certain cases, Webflow might enable horizontal scrolling intentionally. To fix this, go to the Settings panel (the gear icon) on the right-hand side of the Designer, select the "Overrides" tab, and make sure the "Mobile Horizontal Overflow" toggle is turned off. This will prevent any horizontal scrolling on mobile devices.

3. Responsive Design: Ensure that your blog page is optimized for mobile devices using responsive design techniques. Use Webflow's built-in responsive breakpoints to adjust the layout, font sizes, and element positioning for different screen sizes. Test your blog page on various mobile devices and use the Designer's responsive preview mode to make any necessary tweaks.

4. Remove Custom Code: If you have added custom code to your blog page or site-wide, it's possible that it is causing the horizontal scrolling issue. Try temporarily removing any custom code you've added and check if the problem persists. If the scrolling issue is resolved, you can troubleshoot and modify the custom code to make it compatible with mobile devices.

5. Test and Iterate: After implementing the above steps, it's crucial to thoroughly test your blog page on multiple mobile devices and browsers. Use Webflow's preview mode, publish the site, and test it on actual devices to ensure the horizontal scrolling problem is completely resolved.

If none of the above steps fix the issue, it might be beneficial to seek further assistance from the Webflow community forum or reach out to Webflow support for personalized support.
