What could be causing the slider to break and sections to be unable to scroll in Webflow?

There could be several potential causes for a broken slider and sections unable to scroll in Webflow. Here are a few possible explanations and solutions to consider:

  1. Conflicting interactions: If you have multiple interactions applied to the same element, they can interfere with each other and cause unexpected behavior. Check for any conflicting interactions and remove or adjust them as needed.

  2. Z-index conflicts: If you have elements with overlapping z-index values, it can prevent sections from scrolling properly or cause the slider to break. Make sure your z-index values are set correctly and there are no conflicting values.

  3. Overflow settings: If the overflow settings for a container element are not properly configured, it can result in sections being unable to scroll. Ensure that the overflow settings for all relevant elements are set to auto or scroll if necessary.

  4. JavaScript errors: If there are any JavaScript errors in your custom code or integrations, they can cause unexpected issues with the slider and scrolling behavior. Check your browser console for any error messages and address them accordingly.

  5. Missing or misconfigured interactions: If you are using interactions in your Webflow project, make sure they are properly set up and functioning as intended. Double-check your interactions and fix any errors or omissions.

  6. Render order: Check the render order of your elements, as elements placed later in the DOM hierarchy may obstruct the sliding or scrolling behavior. Try reordering your elements to ensure the slider and scrolling can function properly.

  7. Broken styles or layout: If there are any missing or incorrect styles applied to your slider or sections, it can lead to issues. Review the styling for these elements and make any necessary adjustments.
