To fix the issue of the 'previous' button covering the play button in the slider with videos on your Webflow site, you can use custom code or adjust the slider settings in the Webflow Designer. Here's how to do it:

  1. Using custom code:
  • Identify the class or ID of the 'previous' button that needs to be adjusted.
  • Go to the Custom Code section of your Webflow project.
  • Add CSS code to adjust the positioning of the button. For example, you can use the 'z-index' property to change the stacking order of elements, ensuring that the play button appears above the 'previous' button.
  • Test the changes in your browser and adjust the CSS code as needed.
  1. Adjusting slider settings:
  • Open the Webflow Designer and select the slider component.
  • In the Settings panel, look for options related to the 'previous' and play buttons.
  • Adjust the positioning or size settings to ensure that the play button is not covered by the 'previous' button.
  • Preview the changes in the Designer and publish your site to see the effect on the live site.

In some cases, if the issue persists, you may need to use a combination of custom code and slider settings adjustments to achieve the desired outcome. Additionally, it's important to consider the responsiveness of the slider and ensure that the changes made do not affect the overall usability or functionality of the slider on different devices.
