Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A simple CSS fix that eliminates unwanted horizontal scrolling and overflow issues on your Squarespace site. Prevents that annoying side-scrolling behavior when swiping or dragging.

The Problem It Solves

Some Squarespace elements can cause content to overflow beyond the viewport, creating an unwanted horizontal scrollbar or allowing users to swipe and see blank space on the right side of the page.

Perfect For

Sites with animation effects, Sticky section implementations, Custom layouts, Mobile optimization, Cross-browser consistency

What Makes This Different

This technique uses overflow:hidden on the main container to clip any content extending beyond the viewport. Includes separate code for 7.0 and 7.1. Note: May affect sticky positioning features, so watch the troubleshooting video for solutions.
