Why is the bottom section not fully visible on the published mobile screen in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Set overflow to "visible" on the section and all parent elements to prevent content from being hidden.
- Adjust margin/padding, especially on mobile breakpoints, to avoid content being pushed off-screen.
- Check for fixed or absolutely positioned elements that may block or overlap lower content.
- Avoid using 100vh for height; use min-height: 100% or padding instead for mobile consistency.
- Review interactions and animations to ensure sections aren't hidden by default.
- Use Webflow’s preview and browser DevTools to test layout visibility across devices.
If the bottom section isn't fully visible on your mobile site in Webflow, it's likely due to layout or spacing issues. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix it.
1. Check Overflow Settings
- Select the section that’s being cut off.
- In the Style panel, check the Overflow setting.
- Set Overflow to "visible" for both horizontal and vertical if it's set to "hidden" on any parent container that wraps content.
- Do this check for all parent elements up to the
<body>.
2. Inspect Margin and Padding
- Sections might be getting pushed off-screen due to excessive margin or padding, especially too much padding-bottom or negative margin values.
- Reduce or remove custom margins/paddings on the section and any nearby elements.
- Use Webflow’s mobile breakpoint to spot differences from the desktop layout.
3. Check Fixed or Absolute Elements
- You might have a fixed or absolutely positioned element overlapping or pushing other content.
- Look for things like sticky navbars or floating elements that may be positioned off-screen or blocking lower content.
- On mobile, these can behave differently due to smaller viewport sizes.
4. Review Minimum Section Heights
- Check any min-height settings—especially if you’ve set the section’s height using VH units (e.g., 100vh).
- On mobile browsers, 100vh can behave inconsistently because it doesn't always account for the browser UI (like the address bar).
- Try replacing
100vhwith min-height: 100% or using padding rather than hard height values.
5. Disable Interactions or Animations
- If the section is hidden by an interaction (e.g., opacity 0 on load), check your Page Load interactions or scroll animations.
- Make sure there are no animations preventing the section from showing on mobile devices.
6. Test on Mobile Devices and Inspector
- Use Webflow’s mobile preview and also check with your browser’s DevTools (F12 or right-click > Inspect).
- Emulate different devices and confirm if the section is visible when scrolling.
Summary
To fix a bottom section being cut off on mobile in Webflow, check for improper overflow, excessive spacing, fixed-position elements, vh height usage, or hidden interactions. Adjust these settings for the mobile breakpoint to ensure the full section displays correctly.
