Why is the popup "read my bio" hidden by other elements on active scroll in Webflow?
In Webflow, you may encounter a situation where a popup, such as the "read my bio" popup, is hidden by other elements on active scroll. This issue is commonly caused by the stacking order of the elements on the page and can be resolved through adjustments to the CSS properties of the elements involved.
Here are a few possible reasons why this issue may be occurring and how you can fix it:
- Incorrect z-index value: The z-index property determines the stacking order of elements on the webpage. If the element that is supposed to show the popup has a lower z-index value than the other elements, it will be placed underneath them. To fix this issue, follow these steps:
- Select the element that contains the "read my bio" popup.
- In the Styles panel, under the Position section, locate the "z-index" property.
- Increase the value of the z-index property for the popup element until it appears above the other elements.
- Positioning conflicts: Sometimes, positioning conflicts between elements can affect their stacking order. For example, if an element with a fixed position overlays the popup, it may cause it to be hidden on active scroll. To resolve this, you can try the following:
- Select the element that is causing the overlapping issue.
- Verify its positioning properties in the Styles panel.
- Adjust the position property (e.g., change it from fixed to absolute) or change its positioning properties until the popup is no longer hidden.
- Overflow or clipping: Elements with the property "overflow: hidden" or clipped content can cause the popup to be hidden. To fix this:
- Identify the element that is causing the issue.
- Check its "overflow" property. If it is set to hidden, the element and its content are clipped, which can hide the popup.
- Adjust the overflow property to a value like "visible" to ensure the popup is fully visible.
These are a few possible solutions to resolve the issue of a popup being hidden by other elements on active scroll in Webflow. Adjustments to the z-index, positioning, and overflow properties can usually solve the problem. If the issue persists, ensure that there are no conflicting interactions or custom code affecting the visibility of the popup.
