When exporting from Webflow to Hostinger, there could be several reasons why scroll-based animations in .lottie extension are not working. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect setup: Make sure you have correctly set up the scroll-based animations in Webflow before exporting. Check if you have assigned the correct triggers and animations to the desired elements. Double-check that the animations are working as expected within Webflow's designer view.

  2. Missing or incompatible dependencies: Scroll-based animations in Webflow often rely on external libraries or scripts. When exporting to Hostinger, ensure that you have correctly included these dependencies within your exported code. Check if the necessary JavaScript libraries, such as Scroll Trigger, are properly linked and loaded on your Hostinger-hosted website.

  3. Conflict with other scripts or code: It's possible that there might be conflicts between the scroll-based animation script and other scripts or code on your Hostinger site. Check for any JavaScript errors in the browser console and resolve any conflicts by rearranging or modifying your code. Make sure there are no conflicting libraries or scripts that interfere with the smooth functioning of the scroll-based animations.

  4. Incompatibility with hosting environment: Occasionally, certain hosting environments may not fully support the functionality required for scroll-based animations. Contact Hostinger support or consult their documentation to see if there are any limitations or specific configurations required for such animations to work properly. If necessary, you may need to consider alternative hosting options that better support scroll-based animations.

  5. Corrupted or incomplete export: It's possible that the export process from Webflow to Hostinger might have encountered an error or not completed successfully. Try re-exporting your Webflow project and carefully follow the export instructions provided by Webflow. Make sure all necessary files, including the .lottie animation file, are successfully transferred to your Hostinger hosting account.

It's important to note that troubleshooting the specific issue may require deeper technical knowledge and may be best handled by reaching out to Webflow support or Hostinger support for assistance.
