Why is my custom cursor not appearing on my Webflow site even after following Timothy Ricks' tutorial?
If your custom cursor is not appearing on your Webflow site even after following Timothy Ricks' tutorial, there could be a few reasons why this issue is occurring. Here are some possible explanations and solutions to help you resolve the problem:
CSS Selector Mismatch: In the tutorial, Timothy Ricks may have provided a CSS selector to apply the custom cursor to a specific element or class. Double-check if you have used the correct selector in your custom code. Make sure that the selector matches the element or class you want to target.
Code Placement: Ensure that you have placed the custom code in the right location within your Webflow project. For instance, if you are using the
<style>tag in the page's custom code section, make sure it is placed in the<head>section and not inside the<body>tag.CSS Conflicts: Sometimes, there might be conflicts between the custom cursor code and existing CSS styles on your Webflow site. To troubleshoot this, try temporarily disabling or removing any other CSS that may potentially interfere with the custom cursor code. Then, check if the cursor appears as desired.
Cursor Image Path: Verify that the path to the custom cursor image is correct. If the image is not in the right location or the path is incorrect, the cursor won't display. Make sure the image is uploaded to the appropriate location within your Webflow project, and update the path accordingly in your custom code.
Cache Issues: Clear your browser cache and reload the page to ensure that you are viewing the latest version of your website. Sometimes, the cursor may not appear due to caching problems.
Check Console for Errors: Open your browser's developer tools and check the console for any JavaScript or CSS errors. Any errors in the console might be preventing the custom cursor from displaying. Resolve these errors, if any, and test your site again.
These troubleshooting steps should help you identify and resolve the issue with your custom cursor not appearing on your Webflow site. By following these suggestions, you should be able to enjoy the custom cursor effect as intended.
