To fix the issue of a diffused ellipse staying on top of an image in the hero section of your Webflow site, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check the element order: Make sure that the image element is placed above the diffused ellipse element in the Webflow Designer. Elements that are placed lower in the hierarchy are usually rendered on top.

  2. Adjust zIndex property: If the diffused ellipse element is still appearing on top, you can manually adjust the zIndex property of the image element to ensure that it is displayed above the diffused ellipse. To do this, select the image element, go to the "Settings" tab on the right sidebar, expand the "Position" section, and enter a higher value (e.g., 100) for the "Z Index" property. Increasing the zIndex value will bring the element forward in the stacking order.

  3. Use absolute positioning: If the issue persists, you can try using absolute positioning for the image element. This will allow you to precisely control its position in relation to other elements on the page. Select the image element, go to the "Settings" tab, and change the "Position" property to "Absolute." Then, use the positioning handles or set specific top, right, bottom, or left values to position the image exactly where you want it.

  4. Review conflicting styles: Check if there are any conflicting styles applied to either the image element or the diffused ellipse element. Look for CSS properties like z-index, position, or opacity that might be affecting the stacking order or visibility of the elements. Adjust or remove any conflicting styles to ensure that the image is displayed on top.

  5. Clear cache and preview: Sometimes, changes may not reflect immediately due to caching. Clear your browser cache and preview the page again to see if the issue has been resolved.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of a diffused ellipse element staying on top of an image in the hero section of your Webflow site.

Example:

<section class="hero">  <div class="ellipse"></div>  <img src="your-image.jpg" alt="Hero image" class="hero-image"></section>
.hero {  position: relative;  width: 100%;  height: 600px;}.hero-image {  position: absolute;  top: 0;  left: 0;  z-index: 2;  /* Add any other necessary styles */}.ellipse {  position: absolute;  top: 50%;  left: 50%;  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);  z-index: 1;  /* Add any other necessary styles */}
