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

A horizontal scroll issue on your Webflow blog page in mobile view usually means that an element is wider than the viewport. Here’s how to identify and fix it.

1. Check for Overflowing Elements

• Open Webflow Designer and switch to mobile view (click the device icon in the top bar).
• Scroll horizontally to see if the page moves left or right.
• Use the Navigator panel to analyze recent elements or components added.
• Select parent sections or containers and review children elements that might be too wide (e.g., fixed widths, large images, overflowing text blocks).

2. Fix Widths and Content Sizes

• Make sure elements use relative widths, like 100% or auto, instead of fixed pixel widths.
• For images or videos, set max-width: 100% and height: auto under the Style panel.
• Check text links, buttons, or long strings (like unbroken URLs) that might push the layout.

3. Use Overflow Settings

• Select the highest-level container causing the scroll (often Body, Wrapper, or a Div Block).
• In the Style panel, scroll to the Layout section and set Overflow: Hidden.
• Do this cautiously to avoid hiding important interactive elements.

4. Check Margins and Padding

• Look for elements with large negative margins or excessive padding that may push content outside the viewport.
• Adjust these values on mobile breakpoints to ensure proper alignment.

5. Inspect with Browser Dev Tools (for confirmation)

• Preview the page on a mobile device or simulate one in your browser.
• Open Developer Tools (right-click > Inspect) and use the device toolbar.
• Examine the elements causing overflow using the Elements and Styles panels.

6. Remove Horizontal Scroll in Page Wrapper (if needed)

• If the issue persists, add a custom style to the Body or main wrapper:
• Select the Body element.
• Under the Style panel, set Overflow-X: Hidden.
• This will block horizontal scroll but shouldn't hide content if everything is sized correctly.

Summary

To fix horizontal scroll on your Webflow blog page in mobile view, inspect elements for oversized content, set widths and max-widths properly, and apply overflow-x: hidden to prevent unwanted side-scrolling. Use Webflow Designer and Developer Tools to identify the exact element causing the issue.
