There could be several reasons why the "MOVE in Z axis" is not working in Webflow, even if you have followed the tutorials correctly. Here are some possible causes and solutions to address the issue:

  1. Incorrect element selection: Make sure you have selected the correct element that you want to apply the "MOVE in Z axis" interaction to. Double-check if you have applied the interaction effect to the intended element and not a parent or child element.

  2. Missing or conflicting CSS: Check the CSS properties of the element and make sure there are no conflicting styles that may be overriding or interfering with the "MOVE in Z axis" effect. In some cases, custom CSS or conflicting stylesheets can prevent the interaction from working properly. You can use the browser's developer tools to inspect the element and check for any conflicting styles.

  3. Hierarchy of elements: Ensure that the element you want to apply the "MOVE in Z axis" interaction to is not nested within other elements that have a higher stacking order. If an element is positioned below other elements in the hierarchy, the interaction might not be visible.

  4. Viewport constraints: Verify if the element is positioned within the viewport or if it extends beyond its boundaries. If the element is outside the viewport area or hidden behind other elements, the "MOVE in Z axis" effect might not be visible. Adjust the positioning or dimensions of the element as needed.

  5. Browser compatibility: Check if the issue persists across different browsers. It is possible that the "MOVE in Z axis" interaction might not be supported or rendered correctly in certain browsers. Test the interaction in different browsers and consider applying fallbacks or alternative solutions for browsers that do not support the effect.

  6. Incorrect settings or parameters: Review the settings and parameters of the "MOVE in Z axis" interaction. Ensure that you have set the appropriate values for the axis, distance, and duration. Double-check if you have enabled or disabled any other options that may be affecting the animation.

  7. Webflow limitations: It is also worth noting that there may be certain limitations or restrictions within Webflow itself that could be causing the issue. Check the Webflow documentation or community forums to see if there are any known issues or workarounds for the "MOVE in Z axis" interaction.

Remember to save your changes and publish your site after making any updates to the interactions. Revisit the published version of your site to see if the "MOVE in Z axis" effect is now working as expected.
