Common Pitfalls & Troubleshooting
- Mobile View Issues: Always check the "Mobile View" icon. Sometimes text overlaps images on small screens. You can edit the mobile layout independently in Fluid Engine.
- Images Getting Cut Off: In the background settings, change the "Focal Point" (the small circle on the image) to ensure the most important part of the photo stays visible on all screen sizes.
- Domain Connection: It can take 24-72 hours for a new domain to fully connect and the site to go live globally.
