If you are facing the issue where your pop-up is confined within the swiper container in Webflow, there are a few steps you can take to fix it. This issue typically arises when the pop-up is not positioned correctly or the z-index of the pop-up is not set appropriately. Follow the steps below to resolve the problem:

  1. Inspect the element: Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the elements and identify the CSS classes or IDs associated with the pop-up and swiper container. This will help you understand the structure and the styles affecting these elements.

  2. Position the pop-up: Ensure that the pop-up element is positioned absolutely or fixed, depending on your requirement. This will allow the pop-up to be positioned relative to the entire page rather than being confined within the swiper container.

  3. Set the z-index: Check the z-index values of the pop-up and swiper container. The pop-up should have a higher z-index value than the swiper container to ensure it appears on top. You can set the z-index value of the pop-up to a high value like 9999 to ensure it is displayed above other elements.

  4. Adjust the CSS: Apply the necessary CSS styles to position the pop-up correctly. You may need to override any existing styles that are affecting the positioning or width of the pop-up within the swiper container. Use custom CSS classes or inline styles to override the styles if needed.

  5. Test and refine: After making the necessary changes, test the pop-up to ensure it is no longer confined within the swiper container. If any issues persist, continue inspecting the elements, adjusting the positioning and z-index values until the desired result is achieved.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue where your pop-up is confined within the swiper container in Webflow.
