How do I fix unwanted horizontal mobile scrolling on my Replo page?
Last updated: May 22, 2025
If your Replo page is scrolling to the right instead of up and down on mobile, it means some page components exceed the preview dimensions. This is referred to as “horizontal scroll” or “overflow.”
Common Causes
Fixed Widths: Components, Images, or containers with a hardcoded width (e.g., 500px) will overflow smaller mobile screens (e.g., 300px wide).
Desktop Settings Used on Mobile: Applying desktop-specific widths to mobile views can result in layout issues. See📄 Responsive Design or more.
Large Images or Text Blocks: Elements like images or long lines of text not sized for mobile can push beyond the viewport depending on their contents.
Solutions
Set Components to Fill Available Width: Use the “fill available width” setting on components like images or text to make them responsive to the screen size.
Avoid Fixed Widths on Mobile: Change fixed-width settings to auto or percentage-based widths for mobile.
Hide or Replace Components on Mobile: If certain components aren’t mobile-friendly, hide them or create mobile-specific versions.
Adjust Preview Dimensions: In Replo, try reducing the preview width from 400px to 200px to catch overflow issues early.
Carefully review your page in mobile view to identify and correct any elements causing overflow.
