Why is my page not scrolling down in Webflow despite having overflow set to visible?
If your page is not scrolling down in Webflow despite having overflow set to visible, there are a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
Element with fixed height: If you have an element on your page (such as a section or container) with a fixed height that is taller than the viewport height, it can cause the page to not scroll down. To fix this, you can either remove the fixed height from the element or increase the height to allow for scrolling.
Position: Fixed or Absolute: If you have an element with a fixed or absolute position set, it can also prevent scrolling. This is because elements with these positions are removed from the document flow and can overlap with other content, making it appear as if the page is not scrolling. To resolve this, you can change the position to either relative or static.
Overflow set to hidden on a parent element: If any parent element of the content has the overflow property set to hidden, it will prevent the content from scrolling. Make sure to check all parent elements and ensure that they have overflow set to visible.
Interaction or script conflict: If you have any interactions or custom scripts on your page, they may be conflicting with the default scroll behavior. Check for any conflicts by temporarily disabling these interactions or scripts and see if the scrolling issue persists.
Browser-specific rendering issues: Sometimes, the scrolling behavior can vary across different browsers. Test your page in multiple browsers to see if the issue is specific to one browser. If it is, you can try using browser-specific CSS or JavaScript fixes to address the issue.
Cache issues or outdated browser: Clear your browser cache or try accessing the page from a different browser or device to rule out any cache-related problems or outdated browser versions.
By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to fix the issue of your page not scrolling down in Webflow despite having overflow set to visible.
