Why is my Webflow site scrolling horizontally on mobile and how can I fix it?

If your Webflow site is scrolling horizontally on mobile devices, it's likely due to a few possible reasons. Here are some potential causes and solutions to help you fix this issue:

1. Element Overflow: Check if any elements on your page are wider than the mobile viewport. Elements exceeding the viewport width can cause horizontal scrolling. To fix this, select the offending element and ensure its width does not exceed the viewport width. You can set the element's width to 100% or a specific value that fits within the viewport.

2. Hidden Overflow: Sometimes, a parent container may have its overflow property set to "auto" or "scroll," which enables horizontal scrolling. To fix this, select the parent container and make sure its overflow property is set to "hidden."

3. Padding and Margin: Excessive padding or margin on elements can push content beyond the viewport width, resulting in horizontal scrolling. Review the padding and margin values applied to your elements, and reduce them if necessary.

4. Responsive Breakpoints: Webflow allows you to define different styles for various screen sizes using responsive breakpoints. Ensure that you have set appropriate styles for each breakpoint, particularly for smaller mobile screens. Check that you haven't unintentionally added any additional margins or padding at smaller breakpoints, which could cause horizontal scrolling.

5. Custom Code: If you have added custom code to your Webflow site, particularly CSS that affects the layout, check if it's causing the issue. Inspect the code for any properties that might be influencing horizontal scrolling and modify or remove them accordingly.

6. Overflow Settings on Sections: In some cases, the sections or containers on your page may have specific overflow settings causing horizontal scrolling. Select the problematic section or container and ensure that its overflow property is set to "hidden" if you don't want any overflow.

It's crucial to preview your changes in the Webflow Designer's responsive preview mode or on real mobile devices to confirm whether the horizontal scrolling issue is resolved. Remember to publish your site after making any modifications, as the live version may not reflect the changes until you do so.

If you've gone through these steps and the issue persists, you may want to reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community forum for additional assistance.
