Why do Scrolling Interactions not work when using the Fullpage.js plugin on a Webflow site and how can this be fixed?

Scrolling Interactions in Webflow do not work when using the Fullpage.js plugin because the Fullpage.js plugin takes over control of the scrolling behavior on the page. This means that any Scrolling Interactions set up in Webflow will not have any effect because the plugin overrides them.

To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Disable Scrolling Interactions: In the Webflow Designer, go to the "Interactions" panel for the element you want to disable the Scrolling Interaction on. Click on the "Initial appearance" tab and remove or disable any Scrolling Interactions that have been set up.

  2. Use Fullpage.js Scroll Callbacks: Fullpage.js has a set of callbacks that allow you to trigger your own custom JavaScript code when certain events occur during scrolling. You can use these callbacks to recreate the desired Scrolling Interactions using custom code. For example, you can use the "afterSlideLoad" callback to trigger a specific interaction when a slide is loaded.

  3. Custom JavaScript Solution: If the above steps do not achieve the desired result, you can try using custom JavaScript to control the scrolling behavior and trigger the desired interactions. This would involve handling the scrolling events manually and updating the relevant elements based on the scroll position.

Note: Using custom JavaScript solutions may require advanced knowledge of JavaScript and may not be suitable for everyone. It is also important to ensure that any custom code you use is well-optimized and does not negatively impact the performance or accessibility of your website.

In summary, to fix the issue of Scrolling Interactions not working when using the Fullpage.js plugin on a Webflow site, you can try disabling the Scrolling Interactions, using Fullpage.js scroll callbacks, or using custom JavaScript solutions to control the scrolling behavior and trigger the interactions.
