I'm editing a wordpress theme and I want the main content area to be larger. But when I enlarge it beyond the limits of the screen it does not scroll. And I know the most common cause of this problem is position: fixed, but I only found two cases of this in the code and when disabling both it doesn't fix the issue.
The original code makes a div with the id of "content" have a scrollbar, but I made the div much larger and so I want the scrollbar to appear and be back in the default spot like most pages have it.
Resources: Here is the original page for reference. (You can just inspect the code from there since I haven't made any edits to it yet anyway.)

You page has been setup in such a way that, a javascript file is placing an inline style to the content, and giving a dynamic height depending on the screen size.
and the content id has a overflow auto, which gives a scroll bar when the content overflows outside the parent element.
So if you wan to have the scroll bar removed either do "overflow: hidden;" (this will hide the content which overflows unfortunately.
Or you will have to rearrange the whole page structure.
Your problem seems to be in http://themes.themolitor.com/wpzoom/wp-content/themes/wpzoom/style.css, where html and body are set to overflow:hidden. If the content extends past the end of the page, it will not scroll. You can change it to overflow:auto (auto adds a scroll bar when there's too much content to fit), or you can just get rid of the overflow property because auto is the default behavior.
overflow:scroll /* always show a scroll bar */
overflow:auto /* show a scroll bar when the content of a box is bigger than the box itself */
overflow:hidden /* never show a scroll bar */

I am writing a single page app for mobile use antd-mobile,
There's s a Tabbar on the bottom of the page, and a list of items that u can see the background is gray, the problem is the Tabbar cover the content of the when I scroll down to the bottom.
How can I make the list area to be scroll area not the whole page?
Some code could help us help you... But there is multiple strategies you could use, all depending on your actual code and what you'd prefer to achieve.
Use margin-bottom on body. This will add a margin to the bottom of your pages, having it set to the height of your Tabbar, this will ensure that it never hides the bottom content. That is assuming your Tabbar is in a fixed position. This solution will make the scroll bar show on the entire page.
Use a defined content holder height, and set overflow-y:scroll. You could set the height of your content holder to be 100vh minus the height of your Tabbar. This way it is "fullscreen" and you can then apply overflow-y:scroll to make that part scrollable. This will display a scroll bar on the element, not the entire page.
I've built this site: http://dabble.market/cms/
All code (HTML, JS, CSS) has been added to the one HTML page as it's in WordPress and utilized a "Coming Soon" plugin. You can view the site and view the source to see the entire code for the page.
On the page I have a green downwards arrow, that when clicked uses JS effects to shrink the logo, and fade in text in a fullScreen div that's hidden on load which contains the content. This fullScreen div is not a child element of the div that sets the background (the div that sets the background utilizes a Google Map's plugin to set the Map as the background).
When the content in the div that is hidden initially becomes visible, the content overflows the boundaries of the div that sets the height and width and adds vertical scroll bars. My question is this though; is there a way to make this content fit the width/height of the div that fits the background, without pushing the content outside the boundaries of the background div? I still would like to keep the scroll bar - I just want the div with the content in it to scroll, while the div with the background remains at 100% width and height. I hope that makes sense...?
This is especially visible on mobile devices, as when you scroll downwards on a mobile device the Google Map remains as a background to the div, but the content div overflows the Map / background significantly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Try this
.fullScreen {
overflow: auto;
}
You have set a parent div with 100% height, and you want to make its children scrollable. You should set the parent's overflow to auto or scroll.
I have a simple page with a fixed sidebar (navigation) and a content area that scrolls normally. Sidebar position:fixed, content area normal.
The sidebar (if taller than the browser) uses a scroll bar to show the rest of the sidebar content. Thats cool, it works like its supposed to.
I'm trying to get the sidebar, onload, to set its height as tall as its contents, so there is no scrolling. So if the sidebar is 2000px tall with all the content loaded in, onload the height is set to 2000px so there is no scrollbar. It will just make the fixed sidebar 2000px high.
Is this a min-height issue? I feel like there is a simple way to do this but I have been at it so long I cant figure it out. Ive used scrollHeight, height(); etc. and cant get a solution.
Thanks
Remove the css height to allow the div to expand, set overflow:none;
Otherwise similar questions and answers here:
Make div 100% height of browser window
This is what I understand from the question, since there is no code submitted.
If you "mesure" contents height after pageload, you can set your sidebar height to this value.
document.ready(function(){
contentHeight = $("#content").css("height");
// set sidebar height
$("#sidebar").css({"height":contentHeight});
});
Place it at the end of the page, so it will be executed after pageload.
I'm not sure this will remove the scrollbars, since it appears when height is more than viewport.
You'll have to set css for the sidebar to overflow:hidden.
Not sure if the title made sense, but I noticed in the wordpress 3.8.1 admin panel, If you resize your window to where the sidebar has menu items blocked from view, it is normal positioning, which allows the sidebar to scroll.
If all the items are visible, then the sidebar has fixed positioning so that only the content to the right of the sidebar will scroll.
Neat little effect.
I was thinking it requires jQuery to add a class or change css. Maybe if the last item in the sidebar is visible then add the class, else leave it alone.
Not sure how to actually code that though.
Can someone help out, maybe even a basic fiddle?
You can do this with simple CSS.
.div_name {
position:fixed;
}
check W3schools Position fixed property for tags
I've got an off-canvas menu, and it's working very well for my Mobile layout.
However, when I expand the menu item to show the submenus under it, the whole page can scroll horizontally. Not so perfect.
I'm just controlling the class name to display: block.

I'm not sure what is causing the problem.
The problem is that you don't have a height set on .row, so it's as tall as the content forces it to be. When you display:block that class and cause those menu items to be displayed, it forces the content further down, and since the page is as tall as the content, the page gets longer.
If you want to fix it, either set a height for that class or take those menu items out of the document flow so it doesn't push the content down.
