What could be causing the sticky image at the top of the page to disappear only on the mobile device layout in Webflow?

There are several possible reasons why a sticky image at the top of the page may be disappearing only on the mobile device layout in Webflow. Here are some potential causes to consider:

  1. Missing or incorrect media query: Double-check that the CSS media query for the mobile device layout is correctly targeting the sticky image. Make sure that the media query is properly formatted and that the image is set to be sticky within that specific breakpoint.

  2. Conflicting CSS properties: Review the CSS properties that are applied to the sticky image. It's possible that there may be conflicting properties or styles that are causing the image to be hidden on the mobile layout. Check for any display, visibility, or positioning properties that may be interfering with the sticky behavior.

  3. Overflow or clipping issues: If the sticky image is inside a container that has a restricted height or overflow property set, it may be getting clipped or hidden on the mobile layout. Review the container's properties and ensure that it has enough space to accommodate the sticky image.

  4. Browser compatibility: Different browsers behave differently when it comes to sticky elements. It's possible that the disappearing issue only occurs on specific browsers or browser versions on mobile devices. Consider testing the layout on different mobile devices and inspect the element behavior to pinpoint any browser-specific issues.

  5. Z-index stacking order: Check the z-index value of the sticky image and ensure that it is properly positioned in the stacking order relative to other elements on the page. It's possible that other elements or components may be overlapping the sticky image and causing it to appear hidden.

  6. Custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code or scripts to your Webflow project, there may be a conflict between the code and the sticky image. Disable any custom code temporarily and see if the issue persists.

To troubleshoot the disappearing sticky image on the mobile device layout in Webflow, try the following steps:

  1. Inspect the element on the mobile layout and check the CSS properties to identify any potential issues.
  2. Temporarily remove any conflicting CSS properties or styles that may be causing the image to be hidden.
  3. Make sure the sticky image is properly positioned within a container that has sufficient space and isn't being clipped or hidden.
  4. Test the layout on different mobile devices and browsers to identify any browser-specific issues.
  5. Review any custom code or scripts that may be causing conflicts with the sticky image.

Remember to save your changes and publish your Webflow site after making any adjustments to see the impact on the live site.
