What could be causing the absolute positioned iPhone mockup to disappear on the live site in Webflow?

There can be several reasons why an absolute positioned iPhone mockup may disappear on the live site in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Parent element size: The parent element of the iPhone mockup may not have a defined size, causing it to collapse and the mockup to disappear. Ensure that the parent element has a width and height set, either explicitly or through its content.

  2. Z-index conflicts: Another element on the page may have a higher z-index value, causing it to overlap and hide the iPhone mockup. Check the z-index values of other elements and adjust accordingly, ensuring that the mockup has a higher value or is positioned above other elements.

  3. Opacity or visibility: The opacity or visibility of the iPhone mockup might be set to 0, making it invisible on the live site. Double-check the styling properties and make sure that the opacity is set to 1 and visibility is set to "visible".

  4. Positioning outside viewport: The iPhone mockup may be positioned outside the viewport, making it seem like it has disappeared. Adjust the positioning properties (top, bottom, left, right) to ensure that it is within the visible area of the live site.

  5. Responsive settings: If the iPhone mockup is not set to be responsive, it may disappear on certain screen sizes. Check the responsive settings and make sure that the mockup is set to display correctly on different devices.

  6. Cache issues: Sometimes, the mockup may be hidden due to caching issues. Clearing your browser cache or using the private browsing mode can help resolve this problem.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and fix the issue with the disappearing iPhone mockup on your live site in Webflow.
