How can I remove extra white space on the right side of my Webflow site when scrolling to the left?

If you have extra white space on the right side of your Webflow site when scrolling to the left, it is likely due to the overflow settings on the body element or any other parent elements. Here are a few steps you can take to remove this extra white space:

1. Identify the element causing the issue: Inspect your page using your browser's developer tools and identify the element that has the horizontal overflow.

2. Adjust the overflow settings: Once you have identified the element causing the issue, go to the Styles panel in the Webflow Designer. Select the element and navigate to the "Overflow" property. Make sure it is set to "hidden" or "auto" instead of "scroll". This will prevent any horizontal scrolling from occurring and remove the extra white space.

3. Check parent elements: If the issue persists even after adjusting the overflow settings of the element in question, make sure to check all the parent elements and ensure their overflow settings are also set correctly. It's important to note that if any parent element has a fixed width or is set to overflow horizontally, it can cause the extra white space issue. Adjust the overflow settings of these parent elements accordingly.

4. Check for negative margins or padding: Sometimes, negative margins or padding on elements can also cause the extra white space issue. Inspect the problematic elements and their parent elements to ensure there are no negative margins or padding that are extending the layout beyond its intended width.

5. Check responsiveness: If the extra white space appears only at certain breakpoints, it's possible that some elements or containers are not properly responding to the viewport size. Double-check your responsive design and ensure that elements are adjusting correctly across different screen sizes.

6. Preview and test: Once you have made the necessary adjustments, preview your site and test it to see if the extra white space has been resolved. Try scrolling horizontally to see if any elements still cause the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and remove the extra white space on the right side of your Webflow site when scrolling to the left.
