If you're experiencing issues with a slider in Webflow that suddenly stops working without any changes being made to the code, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and resolve the problem:

Check for conflicting interactions: If you have any other interactions or animations on the same page, they could be conflicting with the slider. Disable other interactions one by one and test the slider to see if the issue is resolved. This can help identify if there's a conflict between interactions.
Debug console: Open your browser's debugging console and check for any error messages related to the slider. JavaScript errors or warnings could provide useful insights into the problem. Address any errors that you encounter.
Rebuild the slider: Sometimes, rebuilding the slider from scratch can resolve the issue. Delete the existing slider element and recreate it using the same settings. This can help fix any underlying issues with the slider.
Check for custom code: If you have any custom code or scripts added to your Webflow project, they might be causing the issue. Temporarily remove or comment out any custom code related to the slider and check if the slider starts working again.
Browser compatibility: Test the slider in different web browsers to see if the issue is specific to a particular browser. If it works in one browser but not the others, the issue could be browser-specific. Check for any CSS or JavaScript incompatibilities that might be affecting the slider's functionality.
Check the Webflow Forums: If you're still unable to resolve the issue, consider posting your problem on the Webflow Forums. The Webflow community is active and helpful, and they might be able to provide specific guidance based on the details of your case.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your slider in Webflow. Remember to save your progress along the way to ensure you can go back to a working state if needed.
