It's possible that there may be something wrong with the custom code you are using for the pop-up on your blog in Webflow. Here are a few things to check and troubleshoot:

  1. Error Messages: Check the browser console for any error messages related to your custom code. Error messages can give you valuable insights into what might be causing the issue.

  2. Code Placement: Ensure that you have placed your custom code in the correct location within your Webflow project. Custom code should be placed in the project settings or within an embed element on the specific page where the pop-up is meant to appear.

  3. Conflicting Code: Verify that there are no conflicts between your custom code and any existing code or Webflow interactions. Conflicts can occur when there are overlapping CSS classes or JavaScript functions. Try temporarily removing any other code or interactions that may interfere with the pop-up.

  4. Code Syntax: Double-check the syntax of your custom code to make sure there are no syntax errors or typos. Even a minor mistake can cause the code to fail.

  5. Code Dependencies: Ensure that any external libraries or dependencies required by your custom code are properly included in your Webflow project. Check that you have added all necessary CSS and JavaScript files or CDNs.

  6. Code Compatibility: Verify that your custom code is compatible with the Webflow platform. Some code snippets may not work as expected due to Webflow's system limitations or specific requirements. Refer to Webflow's documentation or community forums for any known issues or workarounds.

  7. Testing Environment: Consider testing the custom code in a separate, simplified Webflow project or a code editor to isolate any issues. This can help identify if the code itself is the problem or if there are other factors within your Webflow project causing the pop-up to malfunction.

Remember to always make a backup of your project before making any significant changes to your code. If you are unable to resolve the issue yourself, reaching out to the Webflow community or seeking professional assistance may be beneficial.
