How can I fix the hover animation issue on my Webflow CMS grid that currently only works for 1 second before moving back to its original position, but works when I scroll up the page?

To fix the hover animation issue on your Webflow CMS grid, specifically when it only works for 1 second before moving back to its original position but works when you scroll up the page, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the animation duration: One possible reason for the animation issue is that the animation duration is set to only 1 second. Make sure to check the animation settings and adjust the duration to the desired length.

  2. Review the CSS transitions: If you're using CSS transitions to create the hover animation, ensure that the transition properties are properly defined. Check if there are any conflicting transition properties that may affect the hover animation behavior.

  3. Inspect the scrolling interactions: Since the animation works when you scroll up, it suggests that there might be some scrolling interactions interfering with the hover animation. Review all the scrolling interactions on your page and ensure they are not conflicting with or overriding the hover animation.

  4. Check for conflicting custom code: If you have any custom code on your Webflow project, specifically related to animations or scrolling behavior, check if they are conflicting with the hover animation. Temporarily remove or isolate the custom code to see if the issue persists.

  5. Review the CMS collection settings: If you're using a CMS collection to populate the grid, double-check the collection settings. Ensure that there are no specific settings within the CMS collection or the grid itself that might be causing the hover animation issue.

  6. Test on different devices and browsers: Sometimes, animation issues can arise due to browser or device-specific quirks. Test the hover animation on different devices and browsers to see if the issue is consistent across all platforms or if it is specific to certain environments.

  7. Consider reaching out to Webflow support or the community: If the above steps do not resolve the hover animation issue, it may be worth reaching out to Webflow support or posting your question on the Webflow community forum. They can provide more specific assistance based on your project setup and troubleshoot any potential bugs or conflicts.

Remember to save your progress and publish your site after making any changes to ensure the updated hover animation is reflected properly.
