What could be causing the issue with skipping slides in the Webflow slider and how can it be fixed?

There could be several reasons why slides in a Webflow slider may be skipping. Some common causes include:

Incorrect Slide Settings: Double-check the slide settings to ensure that the appropriate timing and transition settings are selected. If the duration of each slide is set to a very short duration, it may give the impression of skipping.
Different Slide Heights: If the slides within the slider have varying heights, it can lead to inconsistent behavior. Ensure that all slides have the same height to avoid any issues with skipping.
CSS Interference: Custom CSS styles or conflicting interactions can interfere with the slider's default behavior. Check for any custom code that may be affecting the functionality of the slider.
Slider Container Size: The size of the slider container may not be set correctly, causing the slides to overlap or appear incomplete.
Browser Compatibility: Certain browser-specific issues may cause slides to skip. Test the slider on different browsers to determine if the issue is specific to a particular browser.

To resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:

Check Slide Settings: Review the slide settings to ensure that the timing and transitions are set correctly. Adjust the slide duration if necessary.
Standardize Slide Heights: Make sure that all slides have the same height by adjusting the content within each slide or using padding to equalize the heights.
Remove Custom CSS or Interactions: If you have applied any custom CSS or interactions to the slider or slides, consider removing them temporarily to see if they are causing the issue. If needed, you can gradually add them back one by one to identify the specific code causing the problem.
Adjust Slider Container Size: Verify that the slider container has the appropriate size to accommodate the slides without any overlap or cutoff. Make sure the width is set to 100% or explicitly defined according to your design requirements.
Test on Different Browsers: Check the slider's functionality on different browsers to identify if the skipping issue is specific to a particular browser. If so, you may need to explore browser-specific workarounds or alternative solutions.

Remember to publish and preview your changes after applying the fixes to see if the slides are no longer skipping.
