There could be a few reasons why the accordion animation may not be loading after it is published in Webflow. Here are some potential causes and solutions to consider:

  1. Missing or incorrect JavaScript code: The accordion animation in Webflow relies on JavaScript code to function properly. If the code is missing or has errors, it can prevent the animation from loading. Double-check the code to ensure that it is correctly implemented.

  2. External library conflicts: If you are using external JavaScript libraries or plugins on your Webflow site, they may conflict with the accordion animation code. Check for any conflicts by disabling other JavaScript code and plugins one by one, and see if the accordion animation starts working.

  3. CSS conflicts: Conflicting CSS styles might also interfere with the accordion animation. Inspect the CSS rules applied to the accordion elements and make sure they do not conflict with the animation. Avoid using conflicting classes or modifying the styles that affect the animation.

  4. Publishing issues: Sometimes, the issue may be related to the process of publishing the site in Webflow. Ensure that you have published the latest version of your site and that the changes you made to the accordion animation are properly saved and published.

  5. Cache issues: Cached versions of your site can sometimes cause problems with animations not loading correctly. Try clearing your browser cache or opening the site in an incognito/private browsing window to see if that resolves the issue.

  6. Browser compatibility: Different browsers may interpret and render JavaScript animations differently. Test your site on multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) to see if the issue is specific to a particular browser. If so, you may need to adjust your code or find alternative animation techniques that work across all browsers.

Remember to save and republish your Webflow project after making any changes to ensure that the updated animation code is correctly applied on the live site. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Webflow support team for further assistance.
