How can I fix the issue of my Webflow site not scrolling on mobile?

Experiencing issues with your Webflow site not scrolling on mobile can be frustrating. Here's how to troubleshoot this problem.

​

1. Check for Overflow Settings

• Inspect the Styles of your elements to ensure that none have the overflow property set to hidden, particularly for body or key container elements.
• Be aware that setting overflow: hidden can prevent scrolling if it’s applied to a parent container or the body element.

​

2. Examine Fixed Position Elements

• Identify elements with fixed positioning. If an element with a fixed position is covering the entire viewport, it may prevent scrolling.
• Adjust the positioning or ensure there's no z-index issue causing an element to overlay the entire page unknowingly.

​

3. Check for Custom Code

• Review any custom code added to the site, especially JavaScript that might affect scrolling behavior.
• Look specifically for event listeners or scripts that modify scrolling or touch events.

​

4. Update Browser Settings

• Ensure mobile browsers are not blocking JavaScript. This is usually not an issue, but it’s worth checking if the mobile device has any strict settings.

​

5. Verify Recent Changes

• Revert any recent changes made to your site that could have affected mobile behavior. This helps determine if a specific change was the cause.
• Consider using the Webflow backup tool to restore a recent working version of your site.

​

Summary

To resolve scrolling issues on your Webflow site for mobile devices, focus on examining overflow settings, fixed elements, custom code, and potential recent changes that might influence page behavior. Adjusting these areas can often restore the desired scrolling functionality.
