If you're experiencing a glitch or blinking issue when hovering over a specific element on your Webflow portfolio website, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the problem.

  1. Check for conflicting interactions: One common cause of glitches or blinking issues is conflicting interactions. If you have multiple interactions applied to the same element or its parent element, they might interfere with each other and cause unexpected behavior. To fix this, go to the Interactions panel and review all the interactions applied to the element. Make sure there are no conflicting triggers or conflicting properties that might cause the glitch. You can either remove or adjust the conflicting interactions to resolve the issue.

  2. Review the element's styling: Sometimes, glitches or blinking can occur due to conflicts in CSS styling. Check if there are any conflicting CSS styles that might cause the issue. Go to the Styles panel and review the styles applied to the element and its parent elements. Pay attention to hover states and any transitions or animations applied. Ensure that there are no conflicting styles that might interfere with the hover effect. Adjust the styles as necessary to resolve the glitch.

  3. Clear cache and refresh: If the glitch or blinking issue persists, it might be related to caching. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page to see if the issue still occurs. Sometimes old versions of CSS or JavaScript files can cause unexpected behavior. By clearing the cache, you'll ensure that you're loading the latest versions of your website's files, potentially resolving the glitch.

  4. Test in different browsers: Glitches or blinking issues can sometimes be browser-specific. If you're only experiencing the issue in a specific browser, try testing your website in different browsers. This will help you determine if the issue is isolated to a particular browser or if it's a more widespread issue. If you find that the issue only occurs in a specific browser, it might be worth looking into browser-specific CSS hacks or workarounds to fix the glitch.

  5. Reach out to Webflow support: If you've tried all the above steps and are still unable to fix the glitch or blinking issue, it might be worth reaching out to Webflow support for further assistance. They have a dedicated support team that can help you troubleshoot and resolve any technical issues you encounter with their platform.

Remember, it's important to thoroughly test your website after implementing any changes to ensure that the glitch or blinking issue has been completely resolved.
