Hi! My name is Oliver and I am super new to HTML, CSS, Wordpress and coding in general, I am making a website for a friend and have come accross some responsive issues. When I view the page as a mobile device its not "tight" for lack of a better word, in that it slides to the right into blank grey area... How can I fix this?

Unfortunately I get a blank page at that URL/address, but if I had to guess, it would be some element that is extending past the width of the main container/wrapper.

It could be an extra long link that isn't wrapping, a table, or anything really.

You could try setting overflow: hidden; on the main container and see if that helps, but be careful it doesn't add side effects that break other things.

If it is a link that is too long, you'll want to look at word-break: break-all or something for the a tags/hyperlinks.

If you can't get the page to work, try sharing a screenshot by uploading it to some free service and sharing the link here.

Good luck!

I will try the overflow thing now. I dont think there is any long link or anything but i will double check that too. Thanks for your response!
