Title: Basic Gallery – custom gap bug Last modified: February 13, 2026 --- # Basic Gallery – custom gap bug * Resolved [saznajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saznajmo/) * (@saznajmo) * [3 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/) * Hi, * Please check the bug that exists on Elementor widget – Basic Gallery. After adding a custom gap between images, that gap on the mobile version is added on all sides of the images and then that page can be scrolled right – left.On the mobile version, there should be no space around the images, but only below the images. Can this be fixed, to cancel the images side gap for the mobile version?Situation:Add a Basic Gallery, and set the custom gap to 100px. Save the settings and in Inpect select dimensions: Samsung Galaxy S8+ ot on private phone. Theme: Hello Elementor. * Thank you.

Tested on Android 16 with Firefox and Chrome on [this page](https://meetup.freepixel.net/tests/). * Thread Starter [saznajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saznajmo/) * (@saznajmo) * [3 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/#post-18822584) * I don’t know what settings you have set, but I have literally tried and created test pages on several sites and it is always the same problem. I reported the problem to theme support and when they switched the theme to Hello Elementor and saw that there was a problem on it too, they said to report the problem to you.This problem can be solved if I set overflow: hidden in the container settings, maybe that option is turned on for you, but without it the screen can always scroll right and left. * Plugin Support [javiermv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/javiermv/) * (@javiermv) * [3 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/#post-18823772) * Hello there, * Thank you for reporting this. * I have just tried to recreate the issue on my end by adding a custom gap to the Basic Gallery widget in Elementor. I tested it carefully on mobile as well, but I was not able to reproduce the horizontal overflow or scrolling that you described. * To be thorough, I also tested this in a clean environment using only Elementor with the Hello theme activated, and the issue did not occur there either. * Because of that, it is possible that the behavior is being caused by a styling conflict from a third party plugin or additional custom code. * Could you please try temporarily deactivating all plugins except Elementor and then check whether the issue still happens? If the problem disappears, you can then reactivate your plugins one by one until you identify which one triggers the conflict. * Additionally, if you could share a screenshot or a short screencast of the issue, that would be very helpful. It would allow us to better understand what is happening on your site and determine whether this might be related to a specific setting or environment configuration. * Looking forward to your reply. * Thank you. * Thread Starter [saznajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saznajmo/) * (@saznajmo) * [3 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/#post-18825985) * Hi, * Freshly installed wordpress, only Elementor plugin added and Hello theme activated. I am sending you pictures where you can see all the settings, plugins and theme and the final results. See the settings from the gallery and how it manifests on desktop and mobile.

On small screens, this makes the total width of the images plus gaps exceed the viewport, causing horizontal scrolling. The extra spacing on the edges pushes the images beyond the screen, and the container allows overflow by default. * To fix this, you can reduce or remove the gap on mobile, apply spacing only between images, or hide horizontal overflow with CSS. * Kind regards, * Thread Starter [saznajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saznajmo/) * (@saznajmo) * [3 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/#post-18834078) * Hi, * Yes, I reported that. For Basic Gallery, I don’t see an option to override the spacing on mobile devices. There are no widget editing options on mobile.Likewise, there is no option to add space on a mobile phone only below the image, but the space is always added on the side as well. * Please help. * Plugin Support [Kervin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kervinp/) * (@kervinp) * [3 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/#post-18834779) * Hi [@saznajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saznajmo/), Thank you for getting back to us.Indeed for the basic gallery there is no option to modify the space specifically for mobile device. However, I tested this on 2 testing site but the space around the image was not present in both of them.Additionally, the screen recording sent was already expired, if possible can you share it to us again so that we can take a closer look.Regards, * Thread Starter [saznajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saznajmo/) * (@saznajmo) * [3 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-gallery-custom-gap-bug/#post-18836775) * Hi, * I’m sharing the link again, please check it out because it expires in two days.

I checked this link and it’s still not working. This page doesn’t have a caching plugin or any caching configured.
