Hi!

I am stumped as to why my site suddenly has an excess of what appears to be padding off to the right side.

This issue is super annoying especially for mobile.

I am unsure if it’s a coding issue, or an issue with image files. But the problem persists no matter what page you are on. Coding wise, I can’t seem to find any issues with our HTML or CSS.

Any help or insight would be suuuuper appreciated as we just launched the site today & I don’t want to revert back to our old theme.

(Using PIPELINE theme)

Ended up answering it myself.

Solution: add the following code at the bottom of your assets/theme.scss.liquid file

body, html {
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

Voila!
