Why does 90% of my website disappear and certain sections become invisible on my published Webflow site? Also, why won't the animation on my FAQ tabs activate anymore?

There could be several reasons why certain sections of your website become invisible on your published Webflow site and why your animation on FAQ tabs won't activate anymore. Here are some possible explanations and solutions:

  1. Hidden or display settings: Check if the visibility or display settings of the sections or elements are set to "hidden" or "none." If these settings are enabled, the sections or elements will not be displayed on the published site. To fix this, make sure the visibility or display settings are set to "visible" or "block."

  2. Overflow settings: If the sections or elements have overflow settings that are set to "hidden," it can cause content to appear invisible. Ensure that the overflow settings are set to "visible" or "scroll" if you want the content to be displayed.

  3. Z-index conflicts: Z-index is used to control the stacking order of elements on a webpage. If there are conflicting z-index values between elements, it may cause certain sections to appear invisible. Review the z-index values of the elements in question and adjust them accordingly to ensure proper layering.

  4. Interaction conflicts: If you have animations or interactions applied to the FAQ tabs or any other elements on your page, there could be conflicts between different interactions or conflicting settings within an interaction. Review the interaction settings and make sure they are configured correctly and do not conflict with each other.

  5. JavaScript errors: If there are JavaScript errors on your website, it can cause certain sections or animations to malfunction or become invisible. Check the browser console for any JavaScript errors and address them accordingly.

  6. CSS conflicts: Conflicting CSS styles or rules can also cause sections to disappear or animations to break. Inspect the CSS of the affected sections and review any conflicting styles. Use browser developer tools to diagnose and fix any CSS conflicts.

  7. CMS collection constraints: If you are using Webflow's CMS to dynamically populate content, there might be constraints or conditions set on certain collections that affect the visibility of sections or elements. Review the collection settings and make sure they align with your desired display conditions.

Remember to preview your changes using the Webflow Designer or the Webflow Preview mode before publishing to ensure that the sections and animations display as intended.
