How can I resolve the issue of copied Quick Stack elements overlapping on mobile in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Check Quick Stack layout settings (enable Wrap Children, set correct Flex Direction).
- Inspect and adjust mobile breakpoint styles (widths, padding, gaps, and flex settings).
- Ensure child elements don't have fixed widths or margins; use 100% width or flex settings.
- Clean up duplicated Quick Stacks by unbinding classes or creating fresh ones with combo classes.
- Test by manually rebuilding a Quick Stack and comparing behavior to identify style conflicts.
When copied Quick Stack elements are overlapping on mobile in Webflow, it’s usually a layout or style inheritance problem.
1. Check Quick Stack Settings
- Select the Quick Stack element and review its layout settings in the Style Panel.
- Make sure the Wrap Children toggle is enabled if you need the elements to adjust responsively.
- If using the Flexbox layout, verify that Direction is set correctly (e.g., Vertical for stacking on mobile).
2. Verify Breakpoint Styles
- Click on the mobile breakpoint (mobile landscape and mobile portrait) and inspect the Quick Stack’s styling.
- Look for any inherited desktop styles (such as fixed widths or gaps) that are unsuitable for smaller screens.
- Adjust width, padding, gap, and flex settings specifically for mobile if necessary.
3. Review Size and Spacing Constraints
- Make sure individual Quick Stack children elements aren’t set with fixed widths or manual margins that could cause overlap.
- Set elements to Width: 100% or allow them to shrink/grow automatically with Flex Child settings.
4. Reset or Clean Up Duplicated Quick Stacks
- Sometimes when copying Quick Stacks, hidden class styles are duplicated incorrectly.
- Unbind any unnecessary classes from copied stacks or create a fresh Quick Stack and reapply styles carefully rather than duplicating.
- Use combo classes for slight style variations instead of duplicating complete structures.
5. Test by Rebuilding One Stack
- Create a new Quick Stack manually using the Components panel.
- Apply the same structure and styles as your copied version.
- Compare behavior on mobile—if the new stack works correctly, the issue likely stems from copied style conflicts.
Summary
To fix overlapping Quick Stack elements on mobile, check the layout settings, adjust mobile-specific styles, correct any fixed dimensions, and if needed, rebuild faulty stacks manually. Always preview layouts at each breakpoint to confirm proper responsiveness.
