It is not common for backgrounds on slides to not show on preview or the published site when using Webflow. However, if you are experiencing this issue, there are a few things you can check to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

Check the element hierarchy: Make sure the background styling is applied to the correct element and is not being overridden by other styles. You can use the Webflow Designer's Navigator panel to confirm the element structure and its corresponding styles.
Verify the background settings: Double-check the background settings for the slide or the parent element. Ensure that the background color, image, or other properties are correctly defined and visible.
Check for conflicting styles: Verify if any conflicting styles or interactions are causing the background to be hidden. Inspect the element using the Webflow Designer's Style panel and look for any conflicting settings or interactions that may be affecting the visibility of the background.
Test in different browsers: Some browser-specific bugs or incompatibilities may cause background issues. Test your site on different browsers to see if the problem persists across all of them. If it only occurs in one specific browser, you may need to find a workaround or apply browser-specific fixes.
Clear cache and refresh: In some cases, cached versions of your site may not reflect the recent design changes. Clear your browser cache and perform a hard refresh to see if the background issue persists.

If none of these steps resolve the problem, it might be worth reaching out to the Webflow support team for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide specific guidance.
