There are several potential reasons why fixed position elements may not stay fixed on certain pages in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and corresponding solutions:

CSS conflicts: Check if there are any conflicting CSS attributes or styles that are overriding the fixed position. This can happen if there are multiple CSS classes or styles applied to the element. Make sure that there are no conflicting position properties or z-index values that may be causing the issue.
Overflow settings: Check if the parent element of the fixed element has an overflow property set to "hidden" or "auto". When the parent element has a hidden overflow, it can prevent the fixed element from being properly displayed. Adjust the overflow property of the parent element to "visible" to allow the fixed element to stay fixed.
Scroll effects or interactions: If you have added scroll effects or interactions to the page, they may interfere with the fixed positioning of elements. If there are conflicting interactions or scroll effects applied to the fixed element or its parent, it can cause unexpected behavior. Double-check the interactions and scroll effects settings to ensure they are not causing the issue.
Page structure: If the fixed element is placed within a section or container that has a different position property, it can affect the fixed position behavior. Verify that the structure of the page is correct and that the fixed element is not nested within another element that has a position property set to "relative" or "static".
Viewport height issues: If the viewport height (the height of the visible area on the screen) is smaller than the height of the fixed element, it may appear to not stay fixed. This can happen on pages with a lot of content or on smaller devices. Consider adjusting the height of the fixed element or using responsive design techniques to ensure it stays fixed regardless of the viewport size.

By reviewing and troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with fixed position elements not staying fixed in Webflow.
