Yes, I have encountered difficulties with applying the text stroke feature in Webflow. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to successfully use the text stroke feature in Webflow:

  1. Select the desired text element: Choose the text element that you want to apply the text stroke to. This can be a heading, paragraph, or any other text element on your page.

  2. Access the Typography settings: Once you have selected the text element, navigate to the "Typography" section in the right-hand sidebar of the Webflow Designer interface.

  3. Enable text stroke: Under the "Text" tab within the Typography section, you will find an option called "Text Stroke". Toggle this option to enable the text stroke feature.

  4. Configure text stroke settings: After enabling the text stroke feature, you will see additional options to customize the stroke. Use the sliders or input fields to adjust the stroke width, color, and alignment to your liking. You can also choose between a solid stroke or a gradient stroke by selecting the appropriate option.

  5. Preview and fine-tune: Once you have adjusted the text stroke settings, preview your changes in the Webflow Designer. If needed, continue fine-tuning the stroke settings until you achieve the desired result.

  6. Publish your changes: After you are satisfied with the text stroke, remember to publish your changes to make them live on your website.

If you are still experiencing difficulties with applying the text stroke feature in Webflow, here are some tips to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Make sure you have selected the correct text element: Double-check that you have selected the appropriate text element. The text stroke feature will only be available for text elements, not other types of elements like divs or images.

  • Clear browser cache: Sometimes, browser cache can cause unexpected display issues. Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the Webflow Designer to see if that resolves the problem.

  • Check for conflicting styles: If you have applied custom CSS or other style changes to the text element or its parent elements, there might be a conflict with the text stroke feature. Temporarily disable any custom styles you have applied to see if that resolves the issue.

  • Test in different browsers: Webflow is optimized for modern web browsers, but occasional compatibility issues may arise. Test the text stroke feature in different browsers to determine if the issue is browser-specific.

Overall, the text stroke feature in Webflow can be a powerful tool to enhance the visual impact of your text. By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to successfully apply text stroke effects to your own text in Webflow.
