If you are experiencing issues with Webflow animations not being triggered on your website due to fullpage.js preventing default scrolling, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:

Disable fullpage.js on specific elements: If you want to retain the functionality of fullpage.js but still allow Webflow animations to be triggered on certain elements, you can disable fullpage.js on those specific elements. To do this, you can use the normalScrollElements option in fullpage.js to specify elements that should not be affected by fullpage.js scrolling behavior. Add the class or ID of the element you want to exclude from fullpage.js scrolling as a value of the normalScrollElements option.
Adjust the order of JavaScript code: Another solution is to adjust the order in which the JavaScript code is loaded on your website. Make sure that the fullpage.js script is loaded before the Webflow animation scripts. By doing this, you ensure that fullpage.js is fully loaded and active before any Webflow animations are triggered, allowing them to work as intended.
Customize the fullpage.js options: If you have the necessary knowledge of JavaScript and fullpage.js, you can customize the fullpage.js options to allow for the smooth functioning of both fullpage.js scrolling and Webflow animations. By modifying the scrollOverflow option, you can enable or disable fullpage.js scrolling on specific sections, allowing you to have both fullpage.js scrolling and Webflow animations on your website.
Remove or replace fullpage.js: If none of the above solutions work for your specific situation, you can consider removing fullpage.js from your website or replacing it with an alternative scrolling library that does not interfere with Webflow animations. Be sure to test any replacements thoroughly to ensure they do not cause any conflicts with other elements or functionalities on your site.

Remember to backup your website before making any significant changes to ensure you can revert back in case of any issues. Additionally, you may want to consult with a developer or reach out to the Webflow support team for further assistance.
