If you are experiencing an issue where the image is not being displayed behind the text and it is constantly flashing when hovering in Webflow, there are a few potential causes to consider. Here are some possible solutions to resolve this issue:

  1. Image positioning: Check the positioning properties of the image and make sure it is set to be positioned behind the text. In Webflow, you can adjust the position of elements using the position property in the Style panel. Set the image's position to "absolute" or "relative" and adjust the z-index value so that the image is positioned behind the text.

  2. Opacity: Another possible cause for the flashing effect could be the opacity settings of the image. Ensure that the opacity of the image is set to a desired value, preferably less than 1, so that it appears semi-transparent behind the text.

  3. Interaction settings: If you have set up interactions in your Webflow project, there might be conflicts between the hover interaction of the text and image. Check the interaction settings and review if there are any conflicting styles or animations applied to either the text or the image. Adjust the interactions accordingly to prevent any unexpected behavior.

  4. Notification settings: Webflow provides a notification system that alerts you of any potential conflicts or issues with your design. Check for any error notifications that might be related to the image and text interaction. If there are any notifications, follow the instructions provided to resolve the issue.

  5. Cached files: Clear the cache of your browser and try loading the page again. Sometimes stale cache can cause unexpected behavior. Clearing the cache ensures that you are viewing the most up-to-date version of your website and can help resolve any display issues.

By considering these potential causes and implementing the corresponding solutions, you should be able to address the issue of the image not being put behind the text and the flashing effect when hovering in Webflow.
