If you are facing difficulties in making an image slide or move on page scroll in Webflow, there are a few potential troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Check if the interaction is set up correctly: Make sure you have set up an appropriate interaction to address the sliding movement of the image. Confirm that you have selected the right element and set up the desired trigger, such as scroll or mouse movement.

  2. Verify the position of the image: Ensure that the image you are trying to move is set to a position other than "static." For example, you can set it to "absolute" or "fixed" position so that it can move smoothly on the page.

  3. Adjust the z-index of elements: If the sliding image is not appearing correctly or is being obstructed by other elements, consider adjusting the z-index values of the elements involved. Increase the z-index of the sliding image so that it appears above other elements.

  4. Review the scroll settings: Check if the scroll settings in your Webflow project are configured properly. Confirm that the scroll behavior is set to "overflow" or "auto" for the desired section or container holding your image. This ensures that the section can scroll and trigger the movement of the image.

  5. Troubleshoot conflicting interactions: If you have multiple interactions on the same element or conflicting interactions on different elements, it can lead to unexpected behavior. Review all interactions related to the image and ensure there are no conflicts. You can also try disabling or temporarily removing other interactions to identify the source of the issue.

  6. Test in different browsers: Cross-browser compatibility can sometimes cause inconsistencies or glitches. Test your website in different browsers to check if the sliding image works as intended across all platforms.

  7. Clear cache and refresh: If you have made any recent changes to your Webflow project, clear your browser cache and then refresh the page. This ensures that you are viewing the most up-to-date version and helps in resolving any caching-related issues.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with sliding or moving an image on page scroll in Webflow.
