How can I resolve the issue of copied Quick Stack elements overlapping on mobile in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Set the Quick Stack to "Display: Flex" with vertical direction in mobile view.
- Ensure child elements use responsive widths and relative positioning without conflicting margins or transforms.
- Reset any problematic size constraints and remove unnecessary or duplicated styles.
- Rebuild the Quick Stack if issues persist due to inherited or conflicting styles.
Quick Stack elements in Webflow sometimes overlap on mobile due to improper copying, misaligned layout settings, or conflicting styles. Here's how to resolve the issue step by step.
1. Check Display Settings of Quick Stack
- Select the problematic Quick Stack in mobile view.
- In the Style panel, ensure the quick stack is set to "Display: Flex" (default) with a vertical layout (
Direction: Vertical). - If it’s set to "Block" or incorrect flex settings, items may stack unreadably or overlap.
2. Review Children Item Sizing
- Click on the Quick Stack child items (e.g., Div Blocks or Components).
- In the Style panel, confirm that no child item uses fixed widths or absolute positioning unless intended.
- On mobile, widths should be 100% or use Automatic (Auto) to allow fluid resizing.
3. Check for Manual Positioning
- If you copied the Quick Stack, it may have inherited unwanted styles.
- Select each child element, scroll to the Layout section, and make sure:
- Position is set to Relative
- Margin and padding aren’t forcing overlap (e.g., large negative margins)
- Remove any custom transforms that might shift elements out of place.
4. Reset Size Constraints
- In mobile view, select the Quick Stack container and child elements.
- Look for Width, Min-width, Max-width, and Height settings that don't work well on small screens.
- If necessary, reset these values using the "Remove Style" icon (crossed-out circle).
5. Use Webflow’s Clean Up Utility
- Go to Navigator, find the copied Quick Stack, and inspect for extra classes or duplicated styles.
- Clean up by:
- Removing unused classes or combo classes, especially if they came from copying another layout.
- Using base classes and mobile overrides for easier responsiveness.
6. Rebuild if Needed
- If overlapping issues persist and the copied Quick Stack has too many conflicting styles, consider recreating a new Quick Stack.
- This ensures the element uses Webflow’s default responsive behavior, especially on mobile.
Summary
To fix Quick Stack overlap on mobile, ensure the layout is vertical, positioning is relative, and sizing is responsive (not fixed or absolute). Reset conflicting styles and rebuild the Quick Stack if necessary.
