To fix the issue with lightboxes not working correctly on Webflow when using a grid layout, follow these steps:

  1. Check the grid structure: Ensure that your grid layout is properly structured, with the appropriate parent and child elements. The lightbox should be placed within the child element of the grid item, allowing each grid item to have its own individual lightbox.

  2. Set the positioning: Make sure that the grid items and the lightbox elements have the correct positioning settings. The grid items should have "position: relative" set to allow for proper placement of the lightbox. The lightbox elements should have "position: fixed" to position them correctly on the page.

  3. Add interactions to the lightbox: In some cases, lightboxes may not work correctly due to missing interactions. Make sure that you have added the necessary interactions to the lightbox element. For example, you may need to use an "Open Lightbox" interaction trigger to open the lightbox when a grid item is clicked.

  4. Check for conflicting CSS or JavaScript: Sometimes, conflicts with custom CSS or JavaScript code can cause issues with lightboxes. Disable any custom CSS or JavaScript to see if the issue is resolved. If the lightbox starts working correctly, you can gradually enable your custom code and identify the conflicting elements.

  5. Test in different browsers: Lightbox issues can sometimes be browser-specific. Test your website in different browsers to see if the issue persists across all of them. If the issue is only present in a specific browser, it may indicate a browser compatibility issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with lightboxes not working correctly on Webflow when using a grid layout. Remember to test your website thoroughly after making any changes to ensure that the lightbox functionality is working as expected.
